About Openbot
OpenBot is a free desktop app that runs a team of AI agents on the user's own computer. Each agent has its own name, instructions and workspace, and agents can message each other, hand off tasks and share files, so a coding or operations task can pass between several teammates inside a shared channel.
Rather than selling model access, OpenBot works with the AI plans and tools a user already has. It can run Codex, Claude Code, Gemini, Grok, OpenCode, Cursor and Cline, or connect to an OpenAI compatible endpoint, Ollama or LM Studio. An agent keeps its workspace and conversation when the app restarts or when it is moved to a different provider. The app includes a built in browser that agents can open, read and control, and a task queue where messages wait while an agent is busy and can be paused, resumed or cancelled.
Workspaces, conversations, files and browser data are stored on the computer running OpenBot rather than on the vendor's servers. It is available for macOS, Windows and Linux, and is aimed at developers and power users who want persistent agent teammates on their own hardware. The source code is public on GitHub under the PolyForm Noncommercial License 1.0.0, so it can be read, changed and run for noncommercial purposes but is not open source in the strict sense.
The app costs $0 with no locked features. Users pay only their AI provider, through the plan or API key they already hold.
