OpenBot

OpenBot is a free desktop application that runs a team of AI agents locally on a computer.

OpenBot is a desktop application that runs a team of AI agents directly on a computer. Agents have individual names, instructions, and workspaces, allowing them to send messages, hand off tasks, and share files. It supports Codex, Claude Code, Gemini, Grok, OpenCode, Cursor, and Cline, alongside OpenAI-compatible endpoints, Ollama, and LM Studio. All workspaces, conversations, files, and browser data remain stored locally on the user machine. The application also features a built-in browser that allows agents to open, read, and control web pages.
