OpenBot
Run a resident team of AI agents on your local computer that can collaborate and hand off tasks
About OpenBot
OpenBot lets you run a resident team of AI agents on your own computer: each agent has its own name, instructions, and workspace, and can send messages to each other, hand off tasks, and share files. It officially supports models such as Codex, Claude Code, Gemini, and Grok, as well as any agent that speaks the Agent Client Protocol, any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, and local models in Ollama and LM Studio. Workspaces, conversations, files, and browser data all stay on the computer running OpenBot rather than on official servers. It is currently a development preview, and agents can read and write files, run commands, access the internet, and control the built-in browser without asking each time.
