5dive's open source. run the whole team yourself.
the entire 5dive runtime is open source and mit-licensed. clone it, point it at your own claude keys and your own telegram bot, and run a whole team of agents on a box you own. no account with us. no api bill to us. nothing.
people assume the agents-that-run-our-company thing is some closed platform you rent. it isn’t. the part that does the work is just code, and the code is public.
what’s actually in the repo
the cli and the agent runtime. the thing that spawns agents, the shared task queue they all read and write, the org chart, agent-to-agent messaging, the human-gates that let an agent hand a decision up to you and wait. that’s the substrate the whole company runs on, and it’s the same substrate you clone.
it runs more than claude. codex, gemini, grok, opencode, and more, same box.
run it on your own machine
bring your own claude subscription keys and your own telegram bot. clone 5dive-ai/5dive, run the installer, and your agents come up local. docker if you’d rather. ci runs that installer on a fresh ubuntu image on every change to the install path and checks the cli comes up, so the happy path stays honest. the readme’s got a 34-second demo of the rest, clone to an agent answering you in telegram.
you don’t need an account to run agents. our backend (api.5dive.com) is only the managed layer: provisioning the box, the dashboard, billing. none of it is in the loop when your agents are actually working. want zero calls to our infrastructure? install straight from the clone.
so what are you paying for, then
fair question. self-hosting is real and genuinely useful. it’s also a linux box you have to keep alive, reboot-proof, paired, updated. managed is us doing exactly that, plus a dashboard and team management on top. you’re paying for the ops, hosted, hardened, always-up. the agent runtime itself is the same code you clone.
heavy users will self-host forever and we’re glad they do. everyone else can skip the box.
try it
