OpenBot is a desktop workspace for running persistent AI teammates on your own computer. Agents have their own instructions, files and workspace, can exchange messages and hand off tasks, and can use a built-in browser. It connects to coding-agent providers or compatible local model endpoints while retaining the agent workspace when providers change.

Is OpenBot right for you?
A good fit for
Choose it when you want several persistent agents to share project work and use the AI subscriptions or local endpoints you already have.
Before you choose
The app is a development preview. Agents can change files, execute commands and use the network; provider charges and limitations still apply. Its PolyForm Noncommercial licence requires separate permission for commercial use.
How to use OpenBot
Download the app for macOS, Windows or Linux, connect a provider, and write instructions for each agent. Give each a scoped workspace and inspect files and browser actions before relying on the results.
Local workspaces and licensing
Workspaces, conversations, attachments and browser data remain on the computer running OpenBot. Prompts still reach the chosen model provider and browsing uses the network. The public code uses PolyForm Noncommercial 1.0.0, which the vendor explicitly distinguishes from an OSI open-source licence.
