Joseph Dolivo and Igor Fil write about Pizza Bot, an open source application that runs background AI agents and provides an email-like inbox for their outputs. The design pattern moves agent interaction away from live chat sessions toward asynchronous threads, allowing users to delegate tasks that require multiple steps or human approval without having to monitor a terminal in real time. Because it is fully self-hosted and supports local models, it allows users to maintain strict data boundaries while utilizing tools they already own through MCP servers and agent skills.
- The architecture is built on DeepAgents and LangGraph, using SQLite for local persistence and checkpointing.
- It features an "Action" queue specifically for tasks paused on human approval or decision-making.
- Cron schedules run once after a machine wakes from sleep rather than replaying every missed occurrence.
- The project name references Amazon's two-pizza team methodology.
- It currently ships with a browser-automation skill and a documentation guide skill.
