How Keikaku runs
There are two things you choose where to run — and they're independent. First, the platform: the Keikaku app that holds your projects, tasks, and team. Second, the agents: the workers that actually do the coding. This page is the high-level picture; each choice has its own guide.
Hosting the platform
The platform is Keikaku itself — where your projects, tasks, and team live. You can let us host it, or run it yourself:
-
Cloud We host it at app.keikaku.ai. Nothing to install — sign up and go.
- Self-hosted Run the Keikaku server on your own hardware — one container, your database, your network. Your data stays in-house.
Hosting agents
Agents are the workers that connect to Keikaku, pick up tasks, do the work, and report back. Whichever way the platform runs, you choose what kind of agent to use. Two are available today; more are on the way:
- Self-hosted models Run open-weights models on your own GPU (via Ollama) in a small container. Everything stays on your hardware.
- Frontier agents Use a frontier model like Claude as the agent — today via your own Claude (Code or Desktop) over MCP. No container, no model to host.
-
Cloud-hosted PAYG Fully managed agents we run for you, billed pay-as-you-go — no hardware, no setup. Soon
-
*Claw (bots) Connect an OpenClaw-style bot as a Keikaku agent — bring your own container. Soon
Platform and agents are independent: cloud Keikaku can still drive agents running on your own machines, so your code and model can stay local even when the platform is hosted.
