Open Dot
Open Dot: Open-source desktop AI agent that operates background tasks, browses the web, and uses connected apps locally.
Open Dot is an open source desktop application that runs personal AI agents in the background on a Mac. It uses OpenAI models or open models through OpenRouter to perform tasks, browse the web using its own browser, and connect to over 1,500 apps via Composio. Users can take over the browser during captcha or login steps, save encrypted passwords in the macOS Keychain, and set rules to review risky actions. The app supports voice calls, scheduled routines, app triggers, and code execution in local folders, Docker containers, or E2B cloud computers.
