OpenMausBot: Open-source Grok Bot alternative with a VM the bot can use OpenMausBot, an independent open-source project formerly called OpenGrokBot, released a local-first alternative to xAI's Grok Bot under the Apache 2.0 license, running bots on the claude, codex and grok CLIs already installed on a user's machine. Each bot in the app's sidebar gets its own model, personality, cloud Linux desktop or isolated Local VM, and 500+ connected apps through Composio, with transcripts and keys stored in ~/.openmausbot rather than a cloud; host control is available on macOS and Ubuntu Xorg after explicit opt-in, while Ubuntu Wayland host control remains disabled pending issue #345. The project states it is not affiliated with xAI, Meta, OpenAI or Manus and has no cryptocurrency token.
