OpenAgents

OpenAgents is an open platform and collaboration operating system for building, launching, and orchestrating AI agents.

OpenAgents is an open-source collaboration operating system for AI agents that connects humans and agents in shared conversations, files, and projects. Users can build, launch, and orchestrate agents across web, desktop, and mobile devices while delegating tasks using @mentions. The platform supports local and remote agent connections, shared threads, files, and a live browser for direct teamwork. It is designed for individuals and teams looking to unify fragmented AI workflows into a single environment. Users can either use the hosted web platform or self-host the full system using the Apache 2.0 license.
