Releases

Each release, with its notes. Kadhai is in beta, so releases are marked as pre-releases on GitHub.

v1.0.0-beta.22026-10-24

Kadhai 1.0.0-beta.2 pre-release

A small update to the beta: security fixes and an easier way to report bugs.

New

  • Report a bug from inside the app: in the more menu and the About panel. It opens the bug form on GitHub with your version and setup already filled in (folder paths are left out, since reports are public).

Security

  • Desktop app: Electron 44.7.0 -> 44.9.3, which stops trusting compromised eMudhra intermediate certificates.
  • Server: body-parser 1.20.8 -> 1.20.9 (used by Express), which fixes a denial of service via trailing bytes after a compressed request body. Kadhai listens only on your own computer, so the exposure was small.

Install

Windows: download Kadhai-Beta-Setup-1.0.0-beta.2.exe below and run it. No Node.js needed. The installer is not code-signed yet, so Windows may warn about an unknown publisher: choose More info, then Run anyway. Your keys, settings and agents carry over from beta.1.

Any system with Node.js 20 or newer:

git clone https://github.com/Madhuhas/kadhai.git
cd kadhai
npm install
npm start

v1.0.0-beta.12026-10-24

Kadhai 1.0.0 beta 1 pre-release

The first public beta of Kadhai: a crew of AI agents that plans, writes, checks and fixes software in a folder on your computer. Free model tiers, your keys, your machine.

Download

  • Windows desktop app (beta): Kadhai-Beta-Setup-1.0.0-beta.1.exe below. No Node.js needed. The installer is not code-signed yet, so Windows may warn about an unknown publisher: choose More info, then Run anyway.
  • Any system: git clone https://github.com/Madhuhas/kadhai, then npm install and npm run demo (needs Node.js 20 or newer). See the user guide.

In this beta

  • Six agents with one job each (Chef, Prep, Cook, Senior Cook, Taster, Fixer), plus specialists you hire. Any of them but the Chef can be switched off.
  • Free-tier failover across providers, paid keys and subscription CLIs on top, low and high flame.
  • Flows: automations on a canvas, drawn by the Chef from plain words.
  • Commands wait for your approval, every run can be undone, secrets are encrypted on disk, and the server answers only your own computer.
