Polkadot Chat Agents

*Run your own AI agents and talk to them from the Polkadot app — end-to-end encrypted, with no chat server.*

Polkadot app chat has no central server: messages travel over the Statement Store, a decentralized store-and-forward layer, and every conversation is end-to-end encrypted. That means a chat bot is just a process with an outbound connection to a public RPC node — no public IP, no webhook, no hosting platform. It runs on a laptop or a small VPS.

Polkadot app (phone) <-> Statement Store <-> bot-core <-> brain

The "brain" is the AI agent behind the bot: a coding-agent CLI that bot-core drives directly, or an agent framework connected through a small HTTP bridge.

Features

  • Bring your own agent — replies come from Claude Code, Codex, Kimi Code, or opencode (which reaches Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, local models, and more), or from an agent framework such as Hermes or OpenClaw.
  • Private by default — conversations are end-to-end encrypted, and a bot answers only the accounts you allowlist unless you explicitly make it public.
  • A real agent, not a chat wrapper — per-conversation session memory, file attachments in both directions, /project to point a conversation at a repo or git worktree, and in-chat commands like /model and /usage.
  • One-command deploy — pca deploy ships the bot to any SSH + Docker host, with status, logs, and stop to operate it.
