Open-source Discord AI assistant Zauq: Multi-model routing & Docker sandbox
rar_file-exe · reddit · 2026-08-28
The author open-sourced Zauq, a Discord AI assistant designed with a sophisticated architecture rather than simple text forwarding. Key features include:
- Multi-model routing: Configurable providers/models per server/channel.
- Persistent memory: Retains user info across sessions.
- RAG/Knowledge base: Ingest and search community documents.
- Sandbox execution: Runs code in an isolated Docker container.
- Native integrations: Moderation, XP, GitHub, etc.
The project uses a Discord → Gateway → FastAPI → Router architecture to stay provider-agnostic. Significant effort was spent on security (SSRF protection, rate limiting). The author seeks feedback on the architecture, specifically regarding memory/RAG design and sandboxing.
