What do people build with it?

USE CASE 1

Practice directing an AI coding assistant to build an entire application from a short instruction set.

USE CASE 2

Use as a starting template for your own personal CRM built with an AI coding tool.

USE CASE 3

Try the alternate Pi branch setup for building with open source models instead.

The README gives no feature list, success depends entirely on what an AI coding agent generates when asked to build the project.

No license information is stated in the README.

So what is it?

This repository is not a finished CRM application you can install and run today. Instead, its README describes it as a starting point meant to be built out by an AI coding assistant, and the project itself contains almost no description of what the finished personal CRM will actually do, such as its features, data model, or intended users. The README is short and gives instructions rather than a product description. The instructions describe two different paths. The first is for people using an AI coding tool such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or Antigravity. It says to open one of those tools in a terminal inside the project, install whatever plugins, skills, and connectors the project expects, and then tell the coding agent to build the entire project without stopping until it is finished and running. In other words, the actual CRM is meant to be generated by an AI assistant following unwritten instructions elsewhere in the project, rather than existing as code you can read today. The second path is for people who want to build using Pi, described as an open source model option. That path involves switching to a different branch of the repository called pi, after which the README says it should update itself automatically with new instructions for that setup. Because the publicly visible README does not explain what a personal CRM built this way would track, such as contacts, deals, or notes, or what technology it would use, this project is best understood as a template or exercise for AI assisted development rather than a tool ready to use. Anyone interested in it should expect to spend time exploring the repository's other files, if any, since the README alone does not describe the end result.
