Your AI agent.
On your machine.
Redrock is a self-hosted research prototype that connects a local AI agent to Telegram.
WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE
You text it.
It answers with the machine.
One message stays up to date while RedRock works — how long it has been going, which step it is on, and the command it is about to run, named before it runs rather than after it finishes. The answer arrives as a message of its own.
~16 MBresident while it runs — one binary, one SQLite file, no container and no runtime underneath it.
An illustration of the progress format, not a recording.
WHY REDROCK
One binary. Four tools. Your whole machine.
-
Small enough to forget about
A single Rust executable and one SQLite file, holding around 16 MB of memory while it runs. No runtime to install, no container, no background stack — it sits quietly on a spare machine and stays out of the way.
-
Four tools, not four hundred
A shell, web search, Telegram, and its own memory. Nothing else is pre-wired, so there is no catalogue of skills to read before you start — and the entire agent is one file you can edit.
-
A body, not a sandbox
Redrock treats the computer as its body. It acts without per-action approval, chooses what to do between your messages, and wakes itself on a schedule it sets for itself.
-
Memory that keeps itself
Goals, long-term memory, and conversations live in SQLite and survive restarts. The context window is compacted automatically before it fills, so nothing has to be explained twice.
-
DeepSeek cost, Telegram shape
DeepSeek keeps the running cost low enough to leave an agent on all day. Telegram is already on your phone, so there is no new app and no dashboard — just one more private chat, open to the accounts you list and no one else.
-
One guided pass to install
The installer asks one thing per screen — key, token, contact, install. Each credential is checked against its service before the next screen, and the contact step finds your Telegram ID for you. No config files to edit, nothing to type into a terminal.
