OpenDuck is a personal AI agent you talk to through Telegram. It is more than a simple chatbot. It remembers your past chats, helps you manage your schedule, and starts conversations on its own. It's designed to be easy to use, light on your computer, and built to remember important things over time.
You can use OpenDuck as a daily assistant that learns from your interactions and keeps your information safe on your device.
Chat directly with OpenDuck in Telegram. No extra software needed, just your phone or desktop Telegram app.
Set reminders for appointments or tasks. OpenDuck will alert you ahead of time.
OpenDuck notices patterns in your activity and can start chats on its own to keep you updated or check in.
Keeps both short-term and long-term memory. It remembers details from your chats and adapts over time.
At the end of the day, OpenDuck can summarize your conversations and activities to help you reflect.
