Introducing OpenOx

OpenOx, a new open-source project, launched Ox, a self-evolving AI agent for smartphones that turns websites into reusable actions, runs on-device with user data, and supports any model including free or self-hosted ones. The MIT-licensed agent prioritizes user agency through principles of acting everywhere, being yours by design, and providing peace of mind with sensitive-action prompts and credential isolation.

The mission of OpenOx is to amplify agency. Agency is scarce today. You have limited time, money, and attention to do all the things you want to do. I believe software could change that.

Ox is a self-evolving agent that lives on your phone.

It is built around three principles:

Acts everywhere. Ox turns websites into reusable actions. You can use one that already exists or ask Ox to build a new one for you.Yours, by design. Ox runs on your device, keeps your data there, and works with any model, including free or self-hosted ones.Peace of mind. Ox asks before sensitive actions, keeps account credentials isolated on the web page, and lets you pull the plug at any time.

OpenOx is open source under the MIT License.

Here comes Ox!
