PlumoAI introduces a new system where AI Employees operate as real organizational units of execution.

With PlumoAI you can:

✨ Create unlimited AI Employees ✨ Run them on your own infrastructure ✨ Assign real responsibilities ✨ Connect tools using AI Agents ✨ Manage work using a built in project management system

🆓 Completely Free Self Hosted

PlumoAI can be deployed on your own infrastructure and used completely free.

✔ Individuals ✔ Startups ✔ Growing teams ✔ Enterprise companies

Everyone can run unlimited AI Employees.

No feature restrictions.

and many more

🧠 Powered By OpenClaw

PlumoAI integrates OpenClaw (We have added this as an AI Agent) to provide advanced reasoning and autonomous workflow execution.

AI Employees can:

🧠 Plan tasks ⚙️ Generate workflows 🔄 Execute multi step operations 📊 Interact with business systems

This enables true autonomous execution across company operations.

🏢 The Six Component Principle of an Employee

Every real employee is defined by six core components.

PlumoAI implements this architecture for AI Employees.

🎯 Role

Clear responsibility and scope of work.

Examples:

Sales Executive Operations Manager Data Analyst Project Manager Software Developer

The role defines the outcomes the employee must deliver.

🧰 Tools

Software and systems the employee can operate.

Examples:

CRM systems Analytics platforms Communication tools Project management systems Databases

Tools are connected using AI Agents.

🔐 Authorization

Permissions that define what actions an employee can perform.

Examples:

Read company reports Write CRM records Update databases Access internal APIs

Authorization ensures controlled and secure operations.

🧠 Memory

Persistent knowledge across time.

Examples:

Past conversations Customer interactions Business decisions Operational context

Memory enables continuous learning and improved outcomes.

📊 Accountability

Ownership of performance and results.

Examples:

Response time Task completion Accuracy of work Operational outcomes

AI Employees are accountable for delivering results.

👤 Presence

How the employee interacts with the organization.

Examples:

Chat Email Audio communication Video interaction Future holographic or robotic interfaces

Presence determines how employees participate in daily operations.

🧩 AI Agent Ecosystem

PlumoAI supports an extensible ecosystem of AI Agents.

AI Agents connect external systems to the platform using MCP servers or any specific agent.

Examples:

📧 Email platforms 📊 Analytics tools 💬 Messaging systems 🗄 Databases 📈 CRM platforms or some of like Scheduler Workflow Builder Memory ChartMaker etc.

A single AI Employee (Just like human) can use multiple AI Agents simultaneously.

Build or update an AI Agent tool

AI Agent tools live in ai-agents/ in this repo and are mounted into the ai-service container at runtime.

🗂 Built In Project Management Workspace

PlumoAI includes a full project management system where humans and AI Employees collaborate.

You can:

✔ Create projects and tasks ✔ Assign work to AI Employees ✔ Monitor execution ✔ Manage teams and operations

This makes PlumoAI not just an AI platform but a complete operational workspace.

Production Installation (Docker Compose)

This repo runs PlumoAI as a multi-container stack (UI + APIs + AI service + MySQL + MongoDB + Milvus) behind Traefik. For production, use domain mode (HTTPS with Let's Encrypt). For local evaluation/dev, use localhost mode.

System requirements

• Minimum
  • CPU: 2 vCPU
  • RAM: 16 GB (required; the full stack needs enough headroom for MySQL, MongoDB, Milvus, and services)
  • Disk: 30 GB free (SSD recommended)
• Recommended (production)
  • CPU: 4+ vCPU
  • RAM: 32+ GB
  • Disk: 100+ GB SSD (depends on file uploads + vector DB size)
• Network (production / domain mode)
  • Public IP + domain DNS A/AAAA → server IP
  • Inbound ports 80 and 443 open (Let’s Encrypt + routing)

Windows (Production / Localhost)

Prerequisites

• Windows 10/11
• Docker Desktop with Docker Compose v2
• Git
• Production (domain mode): domain A/AAAA record → your server IP, and open inbound 80/443

Step 1: Clone

git clone https://github.com/PlumoAI/plumoai.git
cd plumoai

Optional Step 2: Configure .env (recommended for production)

You can skip this step completely. Step 3 will auto-create .env from .env.example and (when run interactively) prompt you for required values. For production or non-interactive installs, it’s recommended to create/edit .env yourself in advance.

Domain mode (recommended for production):

RUN_MODE=domain
DOMAIN_NAME=self.example.com
[email protected]

Localhost mode (HTTP):

RUN_MODE=localhost
LOCALHOST_PORT=7861

Step 3: Install / Start (auto-creates .env, secrets, and starts containers)

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\install.ps1

Step 4: Open

• Domain mode: https://<your-domain>
• Localhost mode: http://localhost:7861

Optional: Fresh install (resets MySQL volume)

.\install.ps1 -Fresh

Verify / Logs

docker compose ps
docker compose logs --tail 200 -f traefik

Linux (Production / Localhost)

Prerequisites

• Docker Engine + Docker Compose v2
• Git
• Production (domain mode): domain A/AAAA record → your server IP, and open inbound 80/443

Step 1: Clone

git clone https://github.com/PlumoAI/plumoai.git
cd plumoai

Optional Step 2: Configure .env (recommended for production)

You can skip this step completely. Step 3 will auto-create .env from .env.example and (when run interactively) prompt you for required values. For production or non-interactive installs, it’s recommended to create/edit .env yourself in advance.

Domain mode (recommended for production):

RUN_MODE=domain
DOMAIN_NAME=self.example.com
[email protected]

Localhost mode (HTTP):

RUN_MODE=localhost
LOCALHOST_PORT=7861

Step 3: Install / Start (auto-creates .env, secrets, and starts containers)

chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh

Step 4: Open

• Domain mode: https://<your-domain>
• Localhost mode: http://localhost:7861

Optional: Fresh install (resets MySQL volume)

./install.sh --fresh

Verify / Logs

docker compose ps
docker compose logs --tail 200 -f traefik

macOS (Production / Localhost)

Prerequisites

• Docker Desktop with Docker Compose v2
• Git
• Production (domain mode): domain A/AAAA record → your server IP, and open inbound 80/443

Step 1: Clone

git clone https://github.com/PlumoAI/plumoai.git
cd plumoai

RUN_MODE=domain
DOMAIN_NAME=self.example.com
[email protected]

Localhost mode (HTTP):

RUN_MODE=localhost
LOCALHOST_PORT=7861

Step 3: Install / Start (auto-creates .env, secrets, and starts containers)

chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh

Step 4: Open

• Domain mode: https://<your-domain>
• Localhost mode: http://localhost:7861

Optional: Fresh install (resets MySQL volume)

./install.sh --fresh

Verify / Logs

docker compose ps
docker compose logs --tail 200 -f traefik

Common troubleshooting (all platforms)

• DNS not pointing to the server (domain mode): DOMAIN_NAME must resolve to your server’s public IP.
• Ports blocked (domain mode): open inbound 80/443 (cloud security group + OS firewall). Let’s Encrypt will fail if port 80 is blocked.
• Non-interactive installs: ensure .env is fully set (especially DOMAIN_NAME and SSL_EMAIL for domain mode).

Optional: Update / change version (all platforms)

1. Set PLUMOAI_VERSION in .env (or keep the default).
2. Re-run the installer for your OS (it will pull the new images and apply changes).
