OpenBot turns AI models into a team of persistent agents that work together on your computer. Instead of one chatbot answering questions, you get named agents with individual instructions, workspaces, and conversation histories. They message each other, hand off tasks, and review each other's work, so a bug found by one agent can be fixed by another and merged by a third, without you orchestrating every step.
The app is free for personal use and runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux. Workspaces, conversations, attachments, and browser data live on your machine, though agents still connect to the model providers you choose.
What agents can do:
Each agent has its own name and instruction set. You describe what you want in a prompt, review the generated instructions, and the agent is ready. Teams grow naturally: add more agents and they coordinate around whatever work is in flight.
For teams that need always-on availability, a managed server option runs OpenBot outside any single laptop, with shared or per-employee environments and custom integrations into existing tools and APIs. The source code is available under the PolyForm Noncommercial license, so you can audit what the app does, but commercial use requires a paid license. Every Sunday we deconstruct one proprietary app and pick the best open source alternatives worth switching to.
