Talorys: a free personal AI assistant you deploy into your own Cloudflare account
Talorys is a new open-source personal assistant that installs with one command (npx create-talorys@latest) into your own Cloudflare account. It gives you chat with memory you can view and edit, tasks, notes, projects, and reminders or routines that run on a schedule. It is single-user, has no telemetry, and the developer runs no server or database. It uses Cloudflare's free tier, including Workers AI with the GLM-4.7 Flash model; the README is clear that free quotas exist and can change, and that tasks and reminders keep working when the daily AI allowance runs out.
On Hacker News (239 points, about 120 comments), the biggest camp argued over the word "self-hosted", since it runs on Cloudflare rather than your own machine; others said a cloud account you control is close enough. Several asked what Cloudflare's free "neurons" buy, with one estimate of about $0.11 of usage a day. Most of the thread argued over that label. The two commenters who said they tried it were positive: one found setup easy but used 500 of the 10,000 daily neurons in a few minutes and wanted web search; the other called it a cool idea but said it needs semantic memory recall, after it suggested chicken despite a saved note saying they were vegetarian. No consensus on the label.
Sorted take: owning the account matters more than the label. Use it for light personal tasks and reminders, and don't rely on free quotas that can change for anything critical.
Why it matters: If you want a private reminder-and-notes assistant without a subscription, this is a cheap one to try. Expect the free AI quota to cover only light daily chat.
