Introduction

What is Pasture Protocol?

Pasture Protocol is a self-hosted AI companion. It runs on your computer, connects to WhatsApp and Telegram, and uses a local or cloud LLM you choose. Your conversations stay on your machine. There is no external message broker routing your chats.

What these docs explain

These docs are written around the questions people actually ask: what Pasture can do, how each scenario is handled, what stays local, when it uses tools, and when it asks before taking action. Start with use cases if you want examples; start with agents if you want the system model.

How to read these docs

We start simple: concepts first, implementation later. The Agents section is the best entry point for understanding how work gets done. Deeper pages cover delegation, skills, goals, and routing. Each can expand over time without rewriting the overview.
