The Repository IS the Agent
Build autonomous AI agents that evolve through git commits. Every action is auditable, every change is reversible. Free compute with GitHub Actions built-in.
Quick Start
Get your autonomous AI agent running in minutes
Run the setup wizard
The interactive wizard configures everything — GitHub repo, API keys, secrets, and Docker:
The setup wizard will:
- Create a GitHub repository and push your initial commit
- Generate a GitHub Personal Access Token
- Collect API keys (Anthropic required; OpenAI, Brave optional)
- Set up GitHub secrets and variables
- Build and start Docker containers
Why The Pope Bot?
A new approach to autonomous AI agents
Git-Native Architecture
Every action your agent takes is a git commit. See exactly what it did, when, and why. Revert mistakes instantly.
Free Cloud Compute
Uses GitHub Actions for agent jobs. Run one task or a hundred in parallel — the compute is already included with your GitHub account.
Self-Evolving
The agent modifies its own code through pull requests. Every change is auditable and reversible. You stay in control.
