What is Mayros?
Mayros is a self-hosted gateway that connects your favorite chat apps โ WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, iMessage, and more โ to AI coding agents like Pi. You run a single Gateway process on your own machine (or a server), and it becomes the bridge between your messaging apps and an always-available AI assistant.
Who is it for? Developers and power users who want a personal AI assistant they can message from anywhere โ without giving up control of their data or relying on a hosted service.
What makes it different?
- Self-hosted: runs on your hardware, your rules
- Multi-channel: one Gateway serves WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, and more simultaneously
- Agent-native: built for coding agents with tool use, sessions, memory, and multi-agent routing
- Open source: MIT licensed, community-driven
What do you need? Node 22+, an API key (Anthropic recommended), and 5 minutes.

Configuration (optional)
Config lives at ~/.mayros/mayros.json.
- If you do nothing, Mayros uses the bundled Pi binary in RPC mode with per-sender sessions.
- If you want to lock it down, start with
channels.whatsapp.allowFromand (for groups) mention rules.
Example:
json5{ channels: { whatsapp: { allowFrom: ["+15555550123"], groups: { "*": { requireMention: true } }, }, }, messages: { groupChat: { mentionPatterns: ["@mayros"] } }, }
