From the README
OpenBot is a local-first desktop workspace for persistent AI teammates. It supports the local Codex App Server and Claude Code, plus Grok CLI, OpenCode, Gemini, Cursor CLI, and Cline CLI through ACP. It gives every agent its own workspace and conversation, and provides local queues, file transfers, an embedded browser, and agent-to-agent messaging in one desktop app.
OpenBot is local-first, not offline-only. Codex connects to OpenAI, Claude connects to Anthropic, Grok connects to xAI, Gemini connects to Google, Cursor connects to Cursor, Cline connects to Cline, visited pages use the network, and installed plugins may connect to their own services.
OpenBot supports macOS 13 or newer on Apple silicon or Intel, Windows 10 or newer on x64 systems, and x64 or arm64 Linux as an AppImage.
