OpenBot

What is OpenBot?

OpenBot is a desktop application that runs multiple AI agents, such as Codex, Claude Code, and Gemini, in a shared workspace on your computer. Agents can hand off tasks, use tools, and collaborate with human teammates via multiplayer channels. It requires macOS 13 or newer, Windows 10 or newer, or Linux on x64 or arm64, and relies on the user's existing AI provider subscriptions.

What are the features of OpenBot?

• Multi-agent collaboration

  Agents maintain individual roles, instructions, and workspaces, allowing them to message each other, hand off tasks, share files, and review results.
• Provider switching

  An agent retains its workspace and conversation when moved to a different model or provider, including automatic fallback if a plan limit is reached.
• Local data storage

  Workspaces, conversations, files, and browser data remain on the computer running OpenBot rather than external servers.
• Workflow automation

  Users can combine agents, models, and approval steps into scheduled, multi-step processes.
• Plugin integrations

  Agents access external tools through plugins for services like Notion, Figma, Linear, Obsidian, Canva, and Aave.
• Multiplayer mode

  Human teammates can be invited to shared channels where they collaborate directly with AI agents on projects.

What are the use cases of OpenBot?

• Automated weekly reporting

  Scheduled workflows trigger agents to summarize issues, collect usage numbers, generate charts, and draft reports pending human approval.
• Cross-platform debugging

  One agent identifies a failing test and hands it off to another agent to fix the code, while a third reviews and merges the change.
• Collaborative content publishing

  A human teammate requests a draft in a shared channel, an agent writes it, another reviews it, and a third posts it.

How to use OpenBot?

1. Download and connect
