Not a chatbot.
An employee.
MangoTart runs Hermes Agent — the strongest open-source agent framework out there. Think OpenClaw 🦞, but better. It doesn’t wait for prompts. It plans, uses tools, browses the web, schedules its own work, writes new skills from experience, and gets to know you better every session.
Already got ChatGPT. Do I need this?
ChatGPT talks. MangoTart does. One thinks with you. The other acts for you.
| ChatGPT / Claude / Gemini | MangoTart | |
|---|---|---|
| What it does | Talking. | Getting sh*t done. |
| Used for | Answers, drafts, code snippets. Execution is still on you. | Browses the web, reads your files, sends email, runs code, watches prices, books flights, files receipts. |
| Uses your logged-in accounts | No. | Yes. Via your browser sessions. |
| Research reach | The shallow public web — and you don’t know where it searched. | Every tool you can use. Every site you can log into. |
| Scheduled tasks | None. | Yes. It’s always quietly running. |
| Experience | So-so web app. So-so mobile app. | Telegram, Discord, WeChat, and Hermes supports 15+ platforms. |
| Memory | Forgets what matters. Hoards what doesn’t. | Hermes’s memory gets sharper every conversation. |
| Who owns your memory & chats | OpenAI / Anthropic’s servers. | Your box — view it, edit it, export it. |
| Skills | Mostly unsupported. Claude supports some, with limits. | All supported. And Hermes learns new skills from experience, no coding needed. |
| How you pay | Subscription. You pay whether you use it or not. | One-time hardware. The AI runs on your own account (ChatGPT sub or API key). |
Your memory and chat history are actually yours
Everything the agent knows about you lives in a file in the box on your desk. Not an account on someone’s server. The actual file — here’s what one looks like.
Nobody trains on it.
Your words aren’t training data. They’re just yours.
Nobody monetizes it.
No ads, no middleman. Nobody to sell what you like to.
A ban can’t take it.
Lose a cloud account and your history goes too. This stays in the box, whichever model drives it.
Not locked to any vendor.
Switch model providers anytime. Your memory comes along, untouched.
A file you can read and edit.
Open the file. Fix what’s wrong, delete what you’d rather it forgot. Memory you can edit is the only kind that’s really yours.
## Me
Lives in Chatswood, Sydney. Two cats — Mochi & Pepper.
Calls Mum every Wednesday.
Allergic to penicillin.← keep this exact
## How I like things
Flat white, oat milk, no sugar.
“Skim it — don’t paste the whole article.”
Aisle seat. Never a red-eye.
## On my plate
Watch SYD→PVG fares — ping me under A$900
Disputed the double gym charge
Netflix free trial ends Apr 3cancelled — you can delete this
Here are a few things people ask it to do.
The long, particular, do-it-properly kind of ask — the sort you’d only trust a capable hire with.
“Plan a 14-day family road trip from Auckland to Queenstown — what’s worth seeing, where to stay and eat. Before you recommend anything, check Google Maps so nothing’s out of date.”
“Every Wednesday, check my calendar, pick a time I’m not slammed, and remind me to call Mum then.”
“Dig through my inbox for anything about car insurance and the car I just bought, and give me some advice on the insurance.”
“Take these three YouTube videos, pull the ideas together, and write a deep blog post. If you don’t know my voice yet, go read a few of my older posts first.”
“Every day at 7am, read the top 20 Hacker News stories — not just the headlines, actually read each article in full — then send me a brief on the day’s key points.”
“Ping me the second a one-way Auckland → Shanghai fare drops under NZ$1,200 in the next month.”
“Write me a browser extension that saves an article to my Notion with one click.”
“Two French epubs in this folder — turn them into bilingual side-by-side reading, a paragraph of French then the English, still in epub format.”
“Plan our dinners for the week and turn it into a shopping list, sorted by aisle.”
“Find all of bitcoin’s price history, work out the cyclical patterns, chart it, build an interactive web page, and ship it to the cloud. (You’ve got my Vercel CLI, right?)”
“Turn the entire residential tenancy act into a mind map — completely faithful to the text, don’t add anything of your own. Pull it straight from the government site.”
Why MangoTart?
Your memory and chat history are truly yours
On ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini, your conversations — and what the AI remembers about you — live on a big company’s servers. Not yours. On MangoTart it all stays in the box: view it, edit it, export it. Nobody trains on it. Nobody tracks you.
It grows with you
The things you do together, it turns into new skills it can reuse. The longer you have it, the more it knows you and the more it gets done — the compounding a cloud chatbot can’t give you.
Talk to it where you already talk
No more clunky ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini app. Message it on Telegram, Discord, or WeChat — the places you already live.
You and the AI share one browser
It works through the browser you’re already logged into: it reaches the sites you can reach, sees what you can see. Unlike ChatGPT, stuck on the shallow public web — and never telling you where it searched.
Runs the strongest open-source agent
MangoTart runs Hermes — the strongest open-source agent on GitHub, fully auditable. We didn’t cook up our own half-baked framework.
Plug it in and go
One cable for power, one for network, then OAuth your ChatGPT membership (or bring your own API key). If it weren’t this simple, we wouldn’t ship it.
Why not just build it myself?
Where an always-on agent runs matters a lot. A Raspberry Pi 5 is the better-fit tool here — low-power, silent, dedicated to the job, and cheaper than a Mac mini.
vs.
On Mac mini
- Hours to days of setup. Technical skill required.
- It's a desktop, not built to run an agent 24/7.
- Pricier than MangoTart (NZ$1,499), and you wire it all up yourself.
MangoTart wins because…
5 minutes setup. Dedicated to the job. Easy local web dashboard.
vs.
On your own laptop
- Close the lid and the agent goes offline.
- The AI might delete your important files. Both the docs and the community warn against it.
- Lives inside your daily system. No isolation.
MangoTart wins because…
Dedicated hardware, 7×24 online, isolated work environment.
vs.
On VPS
- Highest technical bar. You run the ops.
- Datacenter IP. Most websites block access from there.
- US$10–100/month whether or not you use it.
MangoTart wins because…
Your home IP. Real browser environment.
vs.
SaaS
- US$20–200/month subscription. Same pattern as ChatGPT.
- Datacenter IP. Most websites block access from there.
- Your memory and chat history live on their servers — they desire most.
MangoTart wins because…
Memory stays on your desk. Export any time you want.
MangoTart uses a real browser — the same one you do
Most AI “browses the web” like a tourist reading a postcard — only the public surface. MangoTart drives a real Chrome inside the box: clicking, scrolling, logging in, reading the screen. That fixes three things the cloud can’t.

You’re watching, live — nothing happens off-screen.
It gets in where you’re logged in.
Email, bank, the council portal, the group buy only your WeChat can see — it uses your own browser session, so it reaches everything you can. A cloud bot is stuck outside, guessing.
It looks like you, because it is you.
Requests come from your home, through a normal browser. Datacenter traffic gets blocked, throttled, or fed fake pages — your box just looks like someone at home, because it is.
You can watch it work.
Open the live screen and see exactly what it’s doing — which page, which button, which field. No black box. When it logs into something sensitive, you’re right there.
Three steps. That’s it.
