# HackerAI

An AI-powered penetration-testing assistant reached by chatting with an agent that can run isolated cloud commands, using an optional less-restricted model provider for security requests standard models tend to refuse.

HackerAI is described by its own material as an AI-powered penetration-testing assistant, letting a user find and address vulnerabilities by chatting with an agent. Agent mode runs the agent loop as a durable background task, executing commands in an isolated cloud sandbox rather than on the user's own machine, with a Next.js frontend and a Convex database and backend.

It routes model requests through OpenRouter by default, and can optionally send security-specific requests to a separate provider, abliteration.ai, whose models are intended for security requests that standard models may refuse; without that optional key configured, it continues using its standard models instead. Other integrations cover file storage, authentication, optional web search and page-content retrieval, rate limiting, analytics and payment processing.

Running it requires accounts with several external services for its model, database, sandbox execution, storage, authentication and background task providers, and coding agents working on the project are directed to start from its own AGENTS.md file.
