# PeopleBot

> Understand the framework, install the public release, and try a real local example.

PeopleBot helps keep track of an AI assistant's work: the exact files it used, what it tried, and what it saved for later. Its goal is to make work easier to inspect and continue across sessions.

It uses **Git**, a tool that saves versions of files. You do not need to understand all of Git to begin. Our tutorials start with one text file and explain each new term as it appears.

**New here? [Start the beginner learning path](/tutorials/start).** You will save two versions of a file, inspect them with PeopleBot, and choose which information goes into a task.

<Note>
  These guides describe the public **0.1.0a3 experimental framework release**. It includes deterministic utilities and a bounded project-review adapter. Installing it does not start an autonomous worker. See the [capability table](/guides/capabilities) for the release boundary.

## What a durable task needs

A useful task needs a clear objective, exact inputs, an execution boundary, and evidence of the result. For example, a review can refer to one committed parser file instead of whichever version happens to be on a branch when someone reads the report.

That record makes later inspection possible. It does not make a model's answer automatically correct: tests, cited evidence, and independent review still matter.

## Public distribution

The [public repository](https://github.com/peoplebot-framework/peoplebot-releases) contains distributable source and release artifacts. These guides require no private development or operational access. Read the [release guide](/reference/releases) to distinguish framework versions from separately released services.
