What you need
An always-on machine
macOS or Linux. A mini-PC, NAS or Raspberry Pi works great — Skald Circle is a single compact Rust binary, built to run comfortably on low-power hardware.
Docker
Used to sandbox the assistant’s actions, one container per family member. Must be running before the app starts.
An LLM provider
OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, DeepSeek — or fully local models via Ollama / LM Studio, so conversations can literally never leave the house. Mix and match per agent.
After install
First steps
- On first launch, a short wizard creates the family admin account.
- Open the web UI, sign in, and add at least one LLM provider + model in the Models Hub — credentials are managed entirely from the web UI.
- Invite the rest of the family from the Users page. Each member picks their own language: English, Italiano or Français.
- Optional: browse the Marketplace to add connectors — email, calendars, maps, web search and more.
