How It Works

sempre is a Docker-based multi-agent AI system built on OpenClaw + Ollama. You define a team of agents, each with a role and tool access. They collaborate, remember things, and get work done.

    Per-agent tools (×N agents):
    gh-proxy       crawl4ai     browser-use
    (GitHub API)   (scraper)    (AI browser)

    Shared across all agents:
    /root/.km  (Obsidian KM vault — knowledge base)
    n8n        (workflow automation)
    gws CLI    (Google Workspace)

How Agents Work Together

GM (General Manager) receives tasks from users via Discord or Web UI. It triages complexity, delegates to Worker agents in parallel, synthesizes results, and responds.

Worker agents run research, code, data extraction, and web tasks concurrently. Each worker has its own isolated tool stack so they never interfere with each other.

Knowledge compounds over time — every research result gets written to the shared Obsidian KM vault (disks/km/). On the next task, agents search this vault before going to the web. The team gets smarter with every session.

n8n handles the boring parts — scheduled reports, data sync, webhook triggers. Agents offload recurring work to n8n so they stay free for actual thinking.
