Hey everyone, I want to introduce potpie to the selfhosted community.

Potpie turns your codebase into a knowledge graph and lets you build custom AI agents with just a prompt. We also provide pre-built agents for onboarding, testing, debugging, coding, and low level design.

Here is the repo: https://github.com/potpie-ai/potpie

I have been posting about it on other communities on reddit and have incorporated some good feedback which I have incorporated heavily over the last month. I posted a bit about how it works in this post on ChatGPTCoding here.

We released a lot of major features here:

The entire custom agent creation logic was open sourced!

Open sourced the User Interface completely!

Local LLM support using Ollama!

Multi-LLM support using Litellm

Faster Agents with realtime streaming (Migrating from CrewAI to Pydantic AI)

Streaming tool calls and agent thoughts (Realtime visibility to user to see what the agent is doing)

Choose diferent model for agent execution and for knowledge graph creation

API support so that you can build your own codebase backed automations (Documentation, PR Review etc)

What's next:

We're working on integrations directly on the platform that should let you build out your custom workflows and automate tasks across your SDLC.

Trying to improve our VSCode extension and introduce a slack bot to allow you to incorporate it into your workflows easily.

What can you build with it:

  • Support Engineers - Deployment helper bot backed by your OSS repo's helm charts
  • OSS Mainetnence - Auto reply/ label to issues on your repo. Accurate Q&A that updates with code. Help contributors ramp up faster and contribute meaningfully.
  • Niche PR review agents - Reactiveness review, Accisibility review, Component duplication.
  • System Design - With complete knowledge of your code and backed by knowledge of your company infra, it can help you design systems most efficiently.

Tell us what else would you like to see in something like this!

I'm not sure if the hard requirement of using openai is good for an open source projects. It requires a somewhat hidden closed source source for the main functionality.

The above post says it has support for Ollama, so I don’t think this is the case… but the instructions in the Readme do make it seem like it’s dependent on OpenAI.

Oops good catch, seems like I missed the cleanup in the Readme to remove the openai dependency. Thank you! Ollama steps are mentioned in https://github.com/potpie-ai/potpie/blob/main/GETTING_STARTED.md

EDIT: I've updated the readme with the details, thanks!
