Automate-E Runtime

Automate-E is a Kubernetes-native AI agent runtime for Discord. It turns a character.json config file into a running Discord bot backed by Claude, with persistent memory, tool calling, and cost tracking.

Key Features

Feature Description
Character-driven Define personality, tools, and behavior in a single JSON file
Claude-powered Agent loop uses Anthropic Claude API with tool use
Postgres memory Conversations, user facts, and merchant patterns persist across restarts
In-memory fallback Works without Postgres for local development
Tool calling Agents call HTTP APIs defined in character.json
Cost tracking Per-model token usage and cost calculation
Live dashboard Real-time WebSocket dashboard for monitoring agent activity
Helm chart Deploy single-process or gateway+worker mode via Helm
Split mode Gateway + Redis Streams + workers for horizontal scaling
Webhook receiver Receive real-time events from GitHub, CI systems, etc.

How It Works

sequenceDiagram
    participant U as Discord User
    participant G as Discord Gateway
    participant A as Agent Loop
    participant C as Claude API
    participant T as Tool APIs
    participant M as Memory (Postgres)

    U->>G: Message in #example-e
    G->>A: messageCreate event
    A->>M: Load conversation history + user facts
    A->>C: System prompt + history + tools
    C->>A: tool_use: get_quotes_random
    A->>T: GET /quotes/random
    T->>A: {text: "Talk is cheap...", author: "Linus Torvalds"}
    A->>C: Tool result
    C->>A: Text response
    A->>M: Save messages
    A->>G: Reply in thread
    G->>U: "Here's a quote from Linus Torvalds: ..."
