Odysseus is a self-hosted AI workspace published by PewDiePie under the odysseus-dev GitHub organisation. It runs as a Docker Compose stack (default port 7011) and connects to local models or API providers, bundling several tools in one web interface rather than acting as a model itself.
The feature set listed in the README covers chat and agents (tools, MCP, files, shell, skills, memory), a Cookbook for hardware-aware model recommendations and serving, multi-step Deep Research with report generation, blind side-by-side model Compare, a writing-focused document editor, an IMAP/SMTP email client with triage and reply drafts, notes, tasks and CalDAV calendar sync, plus a gallery/image editor, web search, presets, sessions and 2FA.
It is aimed at users who want to host their own AI front end. The README warns that it exposes powerful local tools, so authentication should stay enabled for any network-accessible deployment. In a YouTube review, Matt Wolfe found deep research, compare and memory worked well on a Mac, but the image editor/in-painting and agent features did not work for him. The project is under active development, with a dev branch for the newest changes and a more curated main branch.
