Talorys

Your personal AI agent. Your own cloud.

Talorys is a free, open-source personal AI assistant that runs entirely inside your own Cloudflare account. It chats with you, remembers what matters, manages tasks, notes and projects, and runs reminders and routines on a schedule — without any server, database or account operated by the Talorys developers.

One person. One Cloudflare account. One command. One personal AI agent.

1. What Talorys is

• A private assistant — chat with streaming responses, Markdown and tool activity indicators.
• Memory — durable personal facts and preferences you can view, edit and delete. Only the most relevant memories are sent to the model on each turn.
• Tasks, notes and projects — full CRUD in the UI, and from chat ("Add a task to review my project tomorrow").
• Automations — one-time and recurring reminders, daily task digests and optional AI routines, delivered to an in-app notification center. They run on Durable Object alarms, so nothing has to stay online.
• Single-user by design — no signup, no accounts, no teams. The installer sets the owner password.
• Works without AI — tasks, notes, memories and reminders keep working if Workers AI is unavailable or your free quota is used up.

2. How it works

Browser ──HTTPS──▶ Cloudflare Pages (React app + /api Pages Function)
                         │  service binding (no public URL)
                         ▼
                   Private Worker (Hono router)
                         │  getAgentByName("personal-agent")
                         ▼
                   TalorysAgent — Cloudflare Agents SDK Durable Object
                     ├─ SQLite: conversations, memories, tasks, notes, projects,
                     │          automations, sessions, settings, usage
                     ├─ Workers AI: @cf/zai-org/glm-4.7-flash (streaming + tool calling)
                     └─ Alarms: reminders and recurring schedules

• The browser only ever talks to your .pages.dev site. /api/ requests run a

Pages Function that forwards them over a service binding to the agent Worker.

• The agent Worker is deployed with workers_dev: false and preview_urls: false:

it has no public URL.

• Authentication and authorization happen in the Worker, not the frontend.
• Chat responses stream as Server-Sent Events end-to-end.

More detail: docs/architecture.md.

3. Cloudflare services used

| Service | Used for | Free plan | | --- | --- | --- | | Cloudflare Pages | Frontend + Pages Function | Yes | | Cloudflare Workers | Private API Worker | Yes | | Durable Objects (SQLite) | All data, scheduling alarms | Yes | | Workers AI | Chat model (@cf/zai-org/glm-4.7-flash) | Yes, daily allocation |

Talorys does not provision R2, D1, KV, Vectorize, AI Search, Workflows or any paid service.

4. Deploy

npx create-talorys@latest

The installer:

1. Checks Node.js (20.18+) and uses its bundled Wrangler CLI (any globally installed wrangler/cf is detected but not required). 2. Verifies your Cloudflare login, or opens Cloudflare's authorization page in your browser. 3. Lets you choose an account (if you have several) and an agent name. 4. Asks for an owner password (hidden input, strength-checked). It is hashed locally with PBKDF2-SHA256 and stored only as a Cloudflare secret. 5. Generates a 256-bit session secret and unique resource names (talorys--agent, talorys--web). 6. Deploys the private Worker (creating its SQLite Durable Object), stores secrets, creates and deploys the Pages project with the service binding. 7. Verifies the live deployment (frontend, auth endpoint, unauthenticated rejection, storage health) without running any AI inference. 8. Prints the real https://….pages.dev URL reported by Cloudflare.

It writes a talorys/ directory containing talorys.json (installation id, account id, resource names, URL — no secrets) and the deployable artifacts. Keep it for updates.

Interrupted? Run the same command again in the same place. It reconciles what already exists: no duplicate resources, no password re-prompt if the password is already configured, and no data is ever deleted.

Non-interactive installs: TALORYS_OWNER_PASSWORD=... npx create-talorys@latest --yes --account-id (with CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN set if you are not logged in).

Permissions

Browser login uses Wrangler's standard OAuth flow — no Global API Key. If you use an API token instead, it needs:

• Account › Workers Scripts › Edit
• Account › Cloudflare Pages › Edit
• Account › Workers AI › Read
• Account › Account Settings › Read
• User › User Details › Read (optional; shows your email)

See docs/deployment.md.

5. Access

Open the URL the installer prints, enter your owner password, and start chatting. Sign in from any number of devices — they are all the same owner. Manage sessions under Settings → Security.

Forgot the password? From your talorys/ directory:

npx create-talorys@latest reset-password

This replaces the password secret and signs out every device.

6. Where your data lives

All data is stored in a single SQLite-backed Durable Object (personal-agent) in your Cloudflare account. Talorys has no telemetry, analytics, tracking or advertising code and sends nothing to its developers.

Cloudflare processes your data to provide its services — including running Workers AI inference on your chat messages and the relevant memories included in each prompt. Review Cloudflare's privacy policy and Workers AI terms.

Security model and threat mitigations: docs/security.md.

7. What is free and what may cost money

Talorys is designed to fit the Cloudflare Workers Free plan and never enables paid features on its own. It is not "unlimited free", though:

• Free plans have account-level quotas (requests, Durable Object usage, a daily

Workers AI Neuron allocation). Quotas are set by Cloudflare and can change.

• When the AI allocation is exhausted, chat shows a clear message and resumes

after the daily reset. Everything else keeps working, and your data is untouched.

• If your account is on a paid plan, usage beyond included amounts is billed by

Cloudflare under your plan.

Built-in guardrails (adjustable in Settings → AI): max output tokens, max context tokens (older history is summarized), max tool calls and reasoning steps per request, max AI requests per day, and max scheduled AI runs per day. Simple reminders and task digests never use AI. The Usage panel shows local estimates and links to the Cloudflare dashboard for exact Neuron usage.

8. Local development

Requirements: Node.js 20.18+.

git clone https://github.com/rociiu/talorys.git
cd talorys
npm install
npm run dev

npm run dev starts the agent Worker (wrangler dev, port 8787), the Pages Function proxy with its service binding (wrangler pages dev, port 8788) and the Vite UI (http://localhost:5173) in one terminal. It creates apps/agent/.dev.vars with a local password (talorys-dev-password, override with TALORYS_DEV_PASSWORD) and uses the deterministic mock AI provider, so no Cloudflare login is needed. State persists in .wrangler/state.

Other scripts: npm run build, npm test, npm run test:e2e, npm run test:pack, npm run typecheck, npm run lint. See docs/development.md.

9. Back up your data

Settings → Privacy → Download backup produces talorys-backup.json with conversations, memories, tasks, notes, projects, settings and automations (never sessions or credentials). Import validates the file and merges it in one transaction; importing the same backup twice is harmless.

10. Update

From your talorys/ directory:

npx create-talorys@latest update

This redeploys the latest Worker and frontend to the same resources. The Durable Object namespace is never recreated (migrations are append-only), the owner password and sessions are kept, and schema migrations run automatically and transactionally on first request. Also available: status and doctor.

11. Troubleshooting

| Problem | Fix | | --- | --- | | Installer stopped midway | Re-run the same command; it resumes. | | "did not pass its health checks yet" | New pages.dev sites can take a few minutes. Re-run. | | Permission errors | Use an account where you can edit Workers and Pages, or a token with the permissions above. | | Chat says the AI allocation is used up | Wait for the daily reset; or enable Demo mode in Settings → AI. | | Locked out after failed logins | Wait 15 minutes, or reset the password with the CLI. |

npx create-talorys@latest doctor checks everything automatically. More in docs/troubleshooting.md.
