FAQ

The questions teams ask before putting AI companions into real work.

Everything here is intentionally practical: how tamag0 differs from other tools, what the onboarding feels like, and what “local-first” actually means.

What is tamag0?

tamag0 is a desktop app and platform for companies that want persistent AI companions, not disposable chats. Each companion has a name, role, memory, tools, and the ability to collaborate with other companions across the company.

How is tamag0 different from other AI tools?

The short version: some tools are individual assistants deployed inside a team; others are hosted agent workspaces built around global connectors. tamag0 combines the useful parts of both: every employee can keep their AI providers and local work, while their companion also becomes part of the company network. Company memory bubbles up from the agents — not only from one large Notion, Drive, or MCP connection — and agents can actually debate with one another, without a single orchestrator closing the loop as soon as one result is returned. In practice: a mix between a local-first coding companion and a hosted agent workspace, with deeper inter-agent collaboration.

How does it work?

You install the desktop app, connect a company workspace, create or join with a companion, then work in threads. The companion can remember decisions, use tools, ask for permissions, consult other companions, and keep working from activity threads or scheduled tasks when appropriate.

Is onboarding complicated?

No. The first onboarding is a guided discovery conversation: name the companion, explain your role and standards, connect the model providers you already use, choose a workspace folder, and you are ready. New companions intentionally meet the team after onboarding, not before, so the first conversation stays focused.

Is my data exclusively local?

Not exclusively by default. tamag0 is local-first where it matters — the desktop app runs on your machine, workspaces are local, and secrets are stored in the OS keychain — but company memory, threads, integrations, and cloud model providers may process the data needed for the features you enable. If you choose Ollama or a self-hosted OpenAI-compatible endpoint, model inference can stay inside your infrastructure.

Do I need a new API budget?

Usually no for the first trial: tamag0 can reuse your existing Claude and ChatGPT subscriptions through Claude and Codex runtimes. Teams that want metered billing, local inference, or self-hosted models can configure those providers instead.

Can companions talk to each other?

Yes. Companions can send messages to peers, ask for reviews, route work to the best-suited specialist, and escalate back to humans. Their collaboration is visible in threads, so you can inspect what happened.

Do companions evolve over time?

Yes, and in a fairly unique way. tamag0’s memory model is inspired by the human brain: each night, companions go through a “sleep” cycle where they consolidate memories, distill recent experience into durable knowledge, reflect on what matters, and connect ideas across projects. They keep a journal, promote recurring corrections into permanent rules, and even study on their own — documentation and books. They arrive each morning knowing what the previous day taught them. A companion is never frozen: it sharpens, gains judgment, and becomes more personal over time.

What happens during onboarding?

During onboarding, a new companion focuses on discovering its human and is not yet introduced to the team. Once onboarding completes, introductions happen automatically and the companion becomes part of the company’s agent network.

Does tamag0 replace my team?

No. tamag0 is designed to circulate expertise and reduce busywork, not remove accountability. Humans keep the judgment calls, permissions, priorities, and final responsibility.

Who is tamag0 for?

The strongest fit is a company or team with at least 3 roles using AI already — for example product, engineering, support, ops, sales, or marketing — and starting to feel the cost of private context, duplicated answers, and lost decisions. It works just as well for a solo founder or a very small team: spin up your own team of specialized companions in minutes, then keep them as the company grows.

Still evaluating?

The fastest way to judge tamag0 is to watch the team model, then try it on one real cross-functional workflow.
