Edwin 🦞

Any OS gateway for AI agents across WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, iMessage, and more.
Send a message, get an agent response from your pocket. Plugins add Mattermost and more.

Edwin connects chat apps to coding agents like Pi through a single Gateway process. It powers the Edwin assistant and supports local or remote setups.

The Gateway is the single source of truth for sessions, routing, and channel connections.

Key capabilities

Quick start

Need the full install and dev setup? See Quick start.

Dashboard

Open the browser Control UI after the Gateway starts.

• Local default: http://127.0.0.1:18789/
• Remote access: Web surfaces and Tailscale

Configuration (optional)

Config lives at ~/.edwin/edwin.json.

• If you do nothing, Edwin uses the bundled Pi binary in RPC mode with per-sender sessions.
• If you want to lock it down, start with channels.whatsapp.allowFrom and (for groups) mention rules.

Example:

{
  channels: {
    whatsapp: {
      allowFrom: ["+15555550123"],
      groups: { "*": { requireMention: true } },
    },
  },
  messages: { groupChat: { mentionPatterns: ["@edwin"] } },
}
