PrivOS

Self-hostable team chat, lists, docs and sandboxed AI agents

PrivOS is a team communication tool for Small businesses and Enterprise, offered as freemium ($20/mo). Popular alternatives include Netgsm, Zoom, Slack.

About PrivOS

PrivOS is a self-hostable workspace that puts team chat, structured lists, documents and AI agents in one product, billed through Roxane Inc., a US entity. Work happens in rooms: you @-mention a list, file, folder or app and an agent works on it from its own sandboxed container, scoped to that room and its permissions.

Rooms hold channels, threads and calls; Lists offer Kanban and table views with 16 field types and XLSX import; files have versioning on S3-compatible storage. Bots react to 18 event types, Connect builds AI workflows without code, and MCP apps add custom portals in sandboxed iframes. You can bring OpenAI- or Anthropic-compatible models, including local ones. Community is free to self-host for 10 users, while Starter, Professional and Enterprise run on PrivOS cloud with per-user LLM credits; extra agents bill like seats.

It fits privacy-minded teams that want chat, tasks and agents under their own control, including regulated firms needing air-gapped setups. Mattermost and Rocket.Chat are more mature self-hosted chat, while ClickUp is deeper for project management. Community install needs Linux x86_64 with Docker, and the company publishes little about who runs it.

PrivOS launched on Product Hunt on October 22, 2026, its second launch there after a first one in May 2026. Buying tip: listed prices are a current discounted rate, so confirm the renewal price and count custom agents as seats.
