King Louie
BYOK Open Source Desktop AI agent that actually runs code
I got tired of paying for five AI subscriptions and babysitting every step. King Louie connects to 13 providers: OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Groq, Ollama, xAI, DeepSeek and more. Bring your own keys, set routing rules so the right model gets picked automatically. ~20 built-in agent tools: Bash, file ops, git with safety guards, headless browser, background tasks, sub-agent spawning. Real workflows, not suggestions. MIT licensed. Cross-platform. Looking for contributors.
I've been building King Louie because Claude Code stopped working reliably for me and I needed something I actually controlled. These days the LLM tooling space moves faster than one person can keep up with solo — that's honestly why I'm on Product Hunt. Looking for people who want to dig into the unsolved problems: smarter context reduction, better LLM routing heuristics, the P2P mesh layer. JavaScript/Electron, MIT, plenty of room to make a real mark on it. Happy to answer anything about the architecture or how the routing engine works.
