Pre-orders opening soon 👋
Your first hire,
in a box.
MangoTart is a small computer that runs an AI agent on hardware you own. It lives on your desk, answers through your phone, and learns you better every conversation. Plug in power and network. That’s the setup.
We’re building these in small batches. If you want one, get in line.

Not a chatbot.
An employee.
MangoTart runs Hermes Agent — the strongest open-source agent framework out there. Think OpenClaw, but better 🦞. It doesn’t wait for prompts. It plans, uses tools, browses the web, schedules its own work, writes new skills from experience, and gets to know you better every session.
Already got ChatGPT. Do I need this?
ChatGPT talks. MangoTart does. One thinks with you. The other acts for you.
| ChatGPT / Claude / Gemini | MangoTart | |
|---|---|---|
| What it does | Talking. | Getting sh*t done. |
| Used for | Answers, drafts, code snippets. Execution is still on you. | Browses the web, reads your files, sends email, runs code, watches prices, books flights, files receipts. |
| Uses your logged-in accounts | No. | Yes. Via your browser sessions. |
| Research reach | Surface of the public web. | Every tool you can use. Every site you can log into. |
| Scheduled tasks | None. | Yes. It’s always quietly running. |
| Experience | So-so web app. So-so mobile app. | Telegram, Discord, WeChat, and Hermes supports 15+ platforms. |
| Memory | Forgets what matters. Hoards what doesn’t. | Hermes’s memory gets sharper every conversation. |
| Memory transparency | Opaque. | Fully visible. Editable. Exportable. |
| Skills | Mostly unsupported. Claude supports some, with limits. | All supported. And Hermes learns new skills from experience, no coding needed. |
| How you pay | Subscription. You pay whether you use it or not. | One-time hardware + token top-ups. No use, no pay. |
Here are a few things people ask it to do.
Morning briefing
“Every weekday at 7 am, read the Sydney Morning Herald and three Chinese-language Australian news sites. Send me one summary on Telegram before I open my laptop.”
Flight watcher
“Tell me the moment a one-way Sydney → Shanghai fare drops below A$900 in the next 30 days. Check twice a day.”
Inbox clone
“Draft replies to my tenant’s emails in my voice. Show me before sending.”
Home ops
“Turn off all the lights if nobody’s been in the kitchen for an hour. Remind me to take the bins out on Tuesday night.”
Family glue
“Remind me to call Mum on Wednesdays. She prefers video. If I’ve already called her that week, skip it.”
Overnight research
“While I sleep, find every apartment listed in Chatswood under $800/week that allows pets. Email me the top 5 with photos in the morning.”
Why MangoTart?
Runs the strongest open-source agent
We didn’t cook up our own half-baked framework. MangoTart runs Hermes — the strongest agent on GitHub. Fully open source. Fully auditable.
No subscription
Top up a token pack when you want to. No expiry. Use it heavily for a week, once a year, or never — your tokens wait for you.
Smart model router
You don’t need to know every model and pick one. We route every task to whichever model does it best per dollar, automatically. You just talk.
Plug it in. That’s the install.
One cable for power. One cable for network. If we can’t make it that simple, we don’t ship it.
Your memory stays on your desk
Your conversations, your agent’s memory of you, all its skills — they live inside the box you bought. Not in the cloud. Not in someone’s training set.
No vendor lock-in
If you ever want to leave — take your agent’s memory with you. Export it. It’s yours. We’re not in the business of holding your data hostage.
Why not just build it myself?
Agent frameworks like OpenClaw and Hermes are shaped by where you install them.
vs.
On Mac mini
- Hours to days of setup. Technical skill required.
- Not designed for home-server-like use.
- $600 for the hardware, plus token fee.
MangoTart wins because…
5 minutes setup. Easy-to-use local web dashboard.
vs.
On your own laptop
- Close the lid and the agent goes offline.
- The AI might delete your important files. Both the docs and the community warn against it.
- Lives inside your daily system. No isolation.
MangoTart wins because…
Dedicated hardware, 7×24 online, isolated work environment.
vs.
On VPS
- Highest technical bar. You run the ops.
- Datacenter IP. Most websites block access from there.
- $10–100/month whether or not you use it.
MangoTart wins because…
Your home IP. Real browser environment.
vs.
SaaS
- $20–200/month subscription. Same pattern as ChatGPT.
- Datacenter IP. Most websites block access from there.
- Your memory and chat history live on their servers — they desire most.
MangoTart wins because…
Memory stays on your desk. Export any time you want.
