Phantom – Open-source AI agent on its own VM that rewrites its config

SMRTR summary

Phantom is an open-source AI agent that operates on its own virtual machine, allowing it to install software, build databases, and create shareable tools with public URLs. Unlike traditional chatbots, Phantom maintains persistent memory and evolves by rewriting its own configuration after each session, becoming increasingly specialized for specific tasks. The system has demonstrated autonomous capabilities like building complete analytics platforms, adding Discord integration, and creating monitoring dashboards, all while running 24/7 independently of the user's device.
