OpenWorker
OpenWorker is an AI agent that runs locally, integrates with daily tools, and completes tasks from start to finish.
OpenWorker is an AI agent designed to execute everyday tasks and deliver finished work across various tools like files, repositories, Slack, and calendars. It carries out jobs such as reviewing code for vulnerabilities, checking cloud configurations, answering Slack threads, and preparing renewal briefs. Users can choose closed-weight models, open-weight models, or run models locally using Ollama, supplying their own API keys for providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. The software operates on the user's computer with approval gates before important actions to maintain control. It is built for anyone seeking to delegate complex workflows while keeping data secure and maintaining oversight of all changes.
