OpenManus
No fortress, purely open ground. OpenManus is Coming.
OpenManus is an open-source AI agent framework that enables autonomous task execution without requiring invite codes or waitlists. Built by contributors from the MetaGPT community, it integrates browser automation through Browser Use, supports multiple LLM providers via configuration, and includes specialized agents for data analysis and visualization. The framework offers MCP (Model Context Protocol) server integration and can operate in both single-agent and experimental multi-agent modes for complex workflow orchestration.

How do I install OpenManus?+
You can install OpenManus using either conda or uv. The recommended method is uv: install uv, clone the GitHub repository, create a Python 3.12 virtual environment, and install dependencies from requirements.txt. Then install browser automation support using uvx browser-use.
What API keys does OpenManus require?+
OpenManus requires an LLM API key (such as OpenAI's API key) configured in config/config.toml. For browser automation, local mode needs no API key, but Browser Use Cloud requires a BROWSER_USE_API_KEY environment variable.
Is OpenManus free to use?+
Yes, OpenManus is open-source under the MIT license and free to use. However, you'll incur costs from LLM API providers (like OpenAI) based on your usage.
