How it works
From therapy session → shipped box → live agent.
Feral Box is designed to feel effortless. Under the hood, it’s a carefully raised agent stack — built on a Mac mini and managed like production software.
Step 1
Build
We build it
Austin configures your agent locally: SOUL.md personality, tools, integrations, and workflows — tailored after a Feral Bot Therapy session.
Step 2
Ship
We ship it
FedEx 2‑day. Your Mac mini arrives in a branded box with a simple getting started card. Nothing to install. Nothing to “figure out.”
Step 3
Live
You plug it in
Connect power + Wi‑Fi. We flip the switch remotely via Tailscale. Your agent is live. That’s it.
What’s inside
Quiet hardware. Serious software.
A Mac mini makes the perfect always-on shelf computer: fast, silent, efficient — and powerful enough to run modern agent stacks 24/7.
Hardware
The appliance layer. Simple. Reliable. Low power.
- Apple Mac mini (M4 chip)
- 16GB–48GB unified memory (tier dependent)
- Apple Silicon = silent, ~5W idle, designed to run 24/7
- Stays out of your way: no noisy workstation vibes, just “always there”
Software pre‑loaded
The operator layer. Always-on, tool-enabled, and tuned to you.
- OpenClaw (always‑on AI gateway)
- Claude Code CLI + Codex CLI + Antigravity IDE
- Tailscale (secure remote access)
- Telegram bot (connected and ready)
- Local whisper (voice transcription)
- Local embeddings (semantic search)
- Automatic update crons (tools + OS + security patches)
- Personalized SOUL.md, AGENTS.md, HEARTBEAT.md
Tiers
Choose your box.
Hardware is billed at cost + the build is a one-time setup. The monthly covers monitoring, updates, and ongoing improvements to your agent stack.

Why not just use ChatGPT?
Because a chatbot isn’t an operator.
Chat apps are great for one-off questions. Feral Box is built for continuity, tools, and real work — with your data staying on your machine.
ChatGPT (typical)
- ×Mostly a text box
- ×Forgets context (or it’s fragile)
- ×Can’t do things across your tools without extra glue
- ×Your data lives on their servers
Feral Box
- ✓Always‑on presence — reachable 24/7
- ✓Remembers your world: files, systems, workflows
- ✓Integrates with email/calendar/files/tools and takes actions
- ✓Data stays home; personality tuned by a licensed therapist (LICSW)

The therapy difference
Your Feral Box doesn’t just get configured. It gets raised.
Most assistants fail because the “personality layer” is random. Yours isn’t.
Clinically tuned to how you communicate.
Austin is a licensed therapist (LICSW). That matters. Your agent’s tone, boundaries, and support style aren’t guesswork — they’re deliberately shaped to match your communication patterns and needs.

FAQ
Questions (and real answers).
If you’re wondering it, someone else probably has too.
What if something breaks? ›
We monitor remotely via Tailscale. Most issues get fixed before you notice. If hardware fails, we’ll help you swap in a replacement and restore your setup.
Can I travel with it? ›
It stays home (plugged in), but your agent is reachable from anywhere via Telegram (and optional phone/voice workflows).
What about updates? ›
Automatic. AI tools, macOS updates, and security patches are applied via cron — with safeguards and monitoring.
Do I need to be technical? ›
No. You plug it in. We handle everything else — setup, integrations, updates, and ongoing ops.
Can I add more agents later? ›
Yes. Pro and Beast tiers support multi-agent architectures, and we can expand your stack over time as your needs grow.
