Chatari Operator is a self-hosted AI operator that runs on your own computer or VM. It executes tasks using your local files, apps, browser sessions, and credentials. Nothing leaves your machine unless you ask for a result. You control it remotely through any Chatari channel: send a text, make a call, fire off an email, or message Slack. Chatari Cloud relays the instruction. Operator does the work. The result comes back to your phone, inbox, or chat.
Your computer, controlled from any channel
Send a message to Chatari from your phone, desk, or anywhere. The instruction routes through Chatari Cloud to your Operator instance. Your computer does the work. The result comes back through the same channel.
Text
Text your Chatari number. Operator finds the file, runs the export, or pulls the data on your machine. The result lands back in your messages.
Call
Call Chatari and speak your request. Operator executes it on your machine and reads back the summary or sends a follow-up text with the deliverable.
Email a task to your Chatari address. Operator processes attachments, runs local workflows, and replies with the output.
Slack
