OpenBot
Open-source AI coworkers that each get a computer of their own: a browser, files and tools, with every action decided before it happens and recorded after. Bring any AG-UI agent.
OpenBot is an open-source AI agent platform that provisions isolated execution environments for AI coworkers, each with their own browser, file workspace, and tool access. Developed by CopilotKit, it functions as a self-hosted governance layer for AG-UI protocol agents, recording every action before execution and enforcing policy boundaries. Organizations can deploy the platform on their own infrastructure, bring custom agents from any framework (LangGraph, Mastra, CrewAI, Pydantic AI), and configure approval workflows, audit trails, and credential management to safely delegate real work to AI assistants.

OpenBot — FAQ
What is OpenBot and how does it work?+
OpenBot is a self-hosted platform that runs AI agents (called coworkers) in isolated Docker containers, each with its own browser and file system. Every action an agent takes—whether browsing, running commands, or accessing tools—passes through a policy gateway that decides, records, and optionally blocks the operation based on configurable rules.
How do I install and run OpenBot?+
Clone the repository, copy .env.example to .env, obtain a CopilotKit Intelligence project key with 'npx copilotkit project select', add your OpenAI API key and other credentials to .env, then run 'bun install && bash scripts/start.sh'. The application opens at localhost:3010 with Docker Compose managing all services.
Which AI agent frameworks does OpenBot support?+
OpenBot works with any agent that speaks the AG-UI protocol, including LangGraph, Mastra, CrewAI, Pydantic AI, Google ADK, and hand-written agents. You can register custom agent endpoints from the UI or declare them in agents.yaml.
What are the prerequisites and API keys needed?+
You need Docker, Bun 1.3+, a CopilotKit Intelligence project (free plan available), and at least one LLM provider key (OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google). The supervisor and computer services require tokens, which the start script auto-generates.
Is OpenBot free and open source?+
Yes, OpenBot is MIT-licensed open source and designed to be cloned and self-hosted. CopilotKit Intelligence has a free tier for thread storage and memory; self-hosted Intelligence is also supported.
Can I use OpenBot with my company's existing authentication?+
Yes, OpenBot supports Google, Microsoft, and Okta OAuth, plus custom SAML and OpenID Connect providers configured through the admin UI and routed by email domain. Multiple providers can run simultaneously.
