SelfAgent: The Free, Self-Hosted AI Agent Built in India (2026)
Most AI 'agents' in 2026 are cloud subscriptions that hand you code or text and leave the rest to you. SelfAgent, built by Rajasthan-based VYZonek Technologies, takes a different approach: it runs entirely on hardware you control, and it doesn't stop at chat — it ships a real, working result.
SelfAgent describes itself as 'your own AI employee' — instead of just answering questions, it plans a task, does the work, checks its own output, fixes mistakes, and delivers a finished result: a live app with a real link, an MP4 video file, a document, or a deployed site. It runs 148+ built-in skills and connects to 102 external tools (67 of them need no API key at all).
| Typical cloud AI agent | SelfAgent | |
|---|---|---|
| Result | Text or code you paste yourself | Live app + database + shareable link |
| Fixes its own bugs | No | Yes — self-test, self-fix loop |
| Makes videos | No | Yes — Video Studio built in |
| Where your data lives | Their cloud servers | Your own PC or VPS |
| Price | Typically $20–200/month | ₹0 — free forever |
| Interfaces | Usually web only | Web + Telegram + CLI |
| Model choice | One locked-in model | Any model — free-first router |
SelfAgent is built by Jeetmal Kumawat, Founder & CEO of VYZonek Technologies Pvt Ltd, based in Rajasthan, India. His stated philosophy: 'free-first, privacy-first, and any-model — tools should run on your machine with your own keys, no central server, no vendor lock-in, and no surprise bills.' SelfAgent is one of several products from the same team, alongside ViralDM (AI social automation) and Verify4.AI (fraud detection).

Cons
Yes — the app itself is free to download and use, and it prefers free AI models (Gemini free tier, Groq, offline Ollama). If you choose to add paid API keys, you pay those providers directly — there's no SelfAgent subscription.
On your own machine or your own VPS. SelfAgent is self-hosted — chats, files, memory and the databases it creates all stay on hardware you control.
Gemini, DeepSeek, Groq, OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure, AWS Bedrock, local Ollama (fully offline) and AWS Kiro. An automatic free-first router picks the best available model per task, or you can pin one yourself.
Yes — connect the Telegram bot and the full agent works in chat: build sites, edit videos you send it, and get real files back. The web UI is also mobile-friendly.
