Alibaba Unveils CoPaw: Revolutionizing AI Agents with Memory, Skills, and Multi-Channel Deployment
  • CoPaw is an open-source workstation from Alibaba researchers designed to deploy and manage personal AI agents that scale multi-channel workflows and memory.

  • ReMe provides persistent memory and data privacy, solving statelessness in standard LLM APIs so agents can retain context across sessions and platforms.

  • A skills system lets Python-based functions be added through a custom skill directory, enabling agents to perform tasks like web scraping, local file access, knowledge-base queries, and calendar/email management without touching core code.

  • The overarching takeaway is to shift from chasing model inference alone to building a full workstation architecture with long-term memory, extensible skills, and cross-platform deployment for automated agent workflows.

  • All-Domain Access connects multiple channels, unifying enterprise tools (DingTalk, Lark/Feishu) with social and developer platforms (Discord, QQ, iMessage) under one interface with memory integration.

  • The architecture rests on three layers: AgentScope for communication and logic, AgentScope Runtime for execution and resource management, and ReMe for memory that spans local and cloud storage.

  • CoPaw enables proactive background operations by merging scheduled tasks with skills to deliver research syntheses or repository monitoring to preferred channels.
