thepopebot
Overview
Open-source autonomous coding agent that runs on GitHub Actions, does work in Docker, commits changes, and notifies you on Telegram.
thepopebot is an open-source template for deploying a 24/7 autonomous AI agent using GitHub Actions as the execution environment. You interact with the agent via Telegram (or a webhook). An event handler creates a job branch, GitHub Actions spins up a Docker container that runs the “Pi” coding agent, and the agent completes the task by committing changes and opening a pull request. Optional auto-merge workflows can merge results automatically. The project emphasizes security by filtering secrets at the process level so the agent cannot access them directly, and it treats the git repository history as the agent’s auditable, reversible memory.
