Turborg. The always-on AI platform for real-time chat.
Turborg keeps you connected around the clock and layers AI on top of the conversation. One platform, many connectors. The IRC connector is live and battle-tested today, with more on the way.

The most advanced way to stay on IRC.
We have run IRC infrastructure since 2009. Turborg takes that battle-tested foundation and supercharges it with a premium web chat and an AI layer no other bouncer offers. If you take IRC seriously, this is the connector built for you.

OSSopen source core
A managed agent that connects, remembers and helps.
Think of Turborg as a smart, always-on stand-in that lives on managed infrastructure. It stays connected for you, keeps your history, and adds an AI layer that actually does work in your channels. You drive it from a polished web chat or your own client. We run everything underneath.
AI that works your channels
AI Polish refines messages before you send, one-click summaries catch you up, and Turborg AI agents answer on command, all within budgets you control.
Skills you define
Teach Turborg custom skills that you, or anyone in the channel, can trigger. Set your own command prefix and rate limits to fit how your community works.
Everything you'd build yourself, already running.
The bouncer, the chat client, the AI and the automation, in one managed agent. Here's the concrete surface, beyond the headline.
Bring your own client, or ours
A built-in bouncer lets you attach HexChat, irssi, mIRC or any standard IRC client. Prefer the browser? The premium web chat does everything from the page: full IRC commands and channel ops, whois, who and channel browsing, all without a separate client.
A web chat that feels modern
Emoji shortcodes and a picker, link previews, dark and light themes, desktop notifications with mention badges, per-channel mute, nick avatars, and a resizable layout that works on mobile. IRC, without the 1990s.
Two ways to catch up, both AI
Run summarize in a busy channel for the gist of what you missed, drawn from real backlog. Drop a link and run tldr for a private AI summary of the page. No scrolling, no tab-hopping.
Polish before you send
An optional AI pass tightens grammar and clarity on a message before it goes out, streamed inline so you approve the result in one click. It draws from your plan's daily AI budget and fails safe: if anything hiccups, your original sends unchanged.
Your logs, exportable
Backlog and logs persist across disconnects and reboots, retained by plan. Build a downloadable export whenever you need an archive or an audit trail, straight from your account.
Open source core, self-hostable
Turborg is an Apache-2.0 Go framework that ships as one static binary. Run it yourself, or let us host the always-on, managed instance. Same code either way, developed in the open on GitHub.

Built as a platform, led by IRC.
Turborg is connector-agnostic by design. Each connector plugs the same always-on agent and AI layer into a different network. The IRC connector is our flagship: the most capable, supercharged IRC experience you can buy. Others are following.
IRC
Live · battle-testedOur flagship connector, hardened over 15+ years of running IRC. Always-on bouncer, 17 networks, SASL and TLS by default, plus a premium web chat with AI on top.
Discord
On the roadmapThe same always-on agent and AI layer, pointed at Discord. In active design so your servers get the Turborg treatment too.

Compare plans →Secure by default
Security and isolation are built in from the start, not bolted on:
- Isolated per-user runtimes with hard CPU and memory boundaries
- SASL authentication and TLS upstreams on by default
- Connector credentials encrypted at rest, never stored in plaintext
- Multi-factor authentication (TOTP) with single-use recovery codes
- Device management and remote sign-out from account settings
- Built-in flood protection and per-sender rate limits
- Brute-force lockout on every authentication surface
- Downloadable log exports for your own audit trail
Here for the long haul, and always shipping.
