## What is Grimlock?
|
||||
## 🚀 Quick Start (5 Minutes)
|
||||
|
||||
Grimlock is an AI-powered operating system for modern companies. It's like having Jarvis (from Iron Man) for your entire organization - an intelligent assistant that knows everything about your company, can access all your internal systems, and generates any artifact on-demand.
|
||||
### Prerequisites
|
||||
- Docker & Docker Compose installed
|
||||
- Node.js 18+ installed
|
||||
- Anthropic API key (already configured)
|
||||
|
||||
**The Problem:**
|
||||
- Knowledge workers waste 60-80% of their time finding files, asking for updates, manual data entry, scheduling, and formatting documents
|
||||
- Current tools (Slack, Notion, ChatGPT) are disconnected and lack company context
|
||||
- AI assistants are generic and can't access internal systems
|
||||
- Companies are locked into Microsoft/Google ecosystems
|
||||
### One-Command Start
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
./start.sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**The Solution:**
|
||||
One AI interface that:
|
||||
- ✅ Knows everything about your company
|
||||
- ✅ Connects to all your internal systems
|
||||
- ✅ Generates documents, spreadsheets, code, presentations on-demand
|
||||
- ✅ Works for everyone (BD, engineering, ops, finance, assistants)
|
||||
- ✅ Self-hosted for data sovereignty
|
||||
- ✅ Platform-agnostic (not locked to MS/Google)
|
||||
Then in a new terminal:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd frontend
|
||||
npm run dev
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Open:** http://localhost:3000
|
||||
|
||||
That's it! 🎉

## Use Cases
|
||||
## 🏗️ Architecture
|
||||
|
||||
### For Engineers
|
||||
```
|
||||
Engineer: @grimlock I need to build a payment processing system for construction invoices
|
||||
Grimlock: Based on Vector Zulu patterns, this maps to the UTILEN + Finance Infrastructure patterns:
|
||||
|
||||
Core Stack: FastAPI + PostgreSQL + Redis + Celery
|
||||
Key Patterns: Multi-tenant isolation, background job processing, audit trails
|
||||
Cost Estimate: ~$3-5/transaction for AI processing
|
||||
Timeline: 30 days to working prototype
|
||||
|
||||
Should I generate the project scaffold?

|
||||
## Getting Started
|
||||
## 📈 Scaling
|
||||
|
||||
### Quick Start (Docker Compose)
|
||||
**Current Setup (Development):**
|
||||
- Single server
|
||||
- Docker Compose
|
||||
- Good for: 10-50 users
|
||||
|
||||
**Production Scaling:**
|
||||
- Horizontal scaling (stateless backend)
|
||||
- Load balancer for multiple instances
|
||||
- Managed PostgreSQL (RDS, Cloud SQL)
|
||||
- Redis for session storage
|
||||
- CDN for frontend assets
|
||||
|
||||
**Cost Estimates:**
|
||||
- Small team (10 users): ~$120/month
|
||||
- Medium team (50 users): ~$500/month
|
||||
- Enterprise (500 users): ~$5,000/month

## 🤝 Contributing
|
||||
|
||||
### Adding Features
|
||||
1. Backend: Create new endpoint in `backend/api/`
|
||||
2. Frontend: Add component in `frontend/src/components/`
|
||||
3. Test locally
|
||||
4. Submit PR
|
||||
|
||||
### Code Style
|
||||
- Backend: Black formatter, type hints
|
||||
- Frontend: ESLint, Prettier, TypeScript
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 📝 Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
### Backend (.env)
|
||||
```env
|
||||
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-... # Required
|
||||
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://... # Auto-configured
|
||||
SECRET_KEY=... # Auto-generated
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Frontend (.env.local)
|
||||
```env
|
||||
NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL=http://localhost:8000
|
||||
NEXT_PUBLIC_WS_URL=http://localhost:8000
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 🐛 Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Backend won't start
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
docker-compose logs backend
|
||||
# Check for missing ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Frontend won't connect
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Verify backend is running
|
||||
curl http://localhost:8000/api/health
|
||||
|
||||
# Check .env.local exists in frontend/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### WebSocket not connecting
|
||||
- Ensure backend is running
|
||||
- Check browser console for errors
|
||||
- Verify NEXT_PUBLIC_WS_URL is correct
|
||||

## Case Study: Vector Zulu
|
||||
|
||||
Grimlock was born from Vector Zulu's need to eliminate operational overhead. We built UTILEN (an enterprise document management system) in 30 days using AI-assisted development - a project others quoted at 18 months. We realized the AI workflows we developed could transform how any company operates.
|
||||
|
||||
Vector Zulu serves as Grimlock's pilot customer, validating every feature in a real production environment serving K-12 cybersecurity education and commercial cloud services.
|
||||
|
||||
**Results:**
|
||||
- 10x faster project delivery
|
||||
- 80% reduction in "where's that file?" questions
|
||||
- Zero Microsoft Office dependencies
|
||||
- Engineers spend time engineering, not finding documents
|
||||
- BD team self-serves on technical content

||||

# Grimlock
|
||||
|
||||
> **AI-Native Company Operating System**
|
||||
> *Your team's AI companion. One interface. All your context. Infinite intelligence.*
|

|
||||
|
||||
## What is Grimlock?
|
||||
|
||||
Grimlock is an AI-powered operating system for modern companies. It's like having Jarvis (from Iron Man) for your entire organization - an intelligent assistant that knows everything about your company, can access all your internal systems, and generates any artifact on-demand.
|
||||
|
||||
**The Problem:**
|
||||
- Knowledge workers waste 60-80% of their time finding files, asking for updates, manual data entry, scheduling, and formatting documents
|
||||
- Current tools (Slack, Notion, ChatGPT) are disconnected and lack company context
|
||||
- AI assistants are generic and can't access internal systems
|
||||
- Companies are locked into Microsoft/Google ecosystems
|
||||
|
||||
**The Solution:**
|
||||
One AI interface that:
|
||||
- ✅ Knows everything about your company
|
||||
- ✅ Connects to all your internal systems
|
||||
- ✅ Generates documents, spreadsheets, code, presentations on-demand
|
||||
- ✅ Works for everyone (BD, engineering, ops, finance, assistants)
|
||||
- ✅ Self-hosted for data sovereignty
|
||||
- ✅ Platform-agnostic (not locked to MS/Google)
|
||||
