What can I use OpenMausBot for?

Open a bot's Computer panel while it works, and you see a live screen preview of its cloud desktop, with an Open desktop button to take over in your browser; Paste a public team Markdown file's GitHub address into the Teams Import screen, and you get a review screen, then new bots, channels, playbooks and paused routines; Ask a bot to do a job that needs a shell command or a file edit, and you get an Allow or Deny card in chat before it acts

What do I need to use OpenMausBot?

A Mac, Windows or Ubuntu Linux computer, plus the Claude, Codex or Grok command-line tools installed with your existing logins.

OpenMausBot: Chat with a team of AI bots that use computers

What it does

Each bot in the sidebar is a real agent, Claude or Codex running on your machine, with its own personality, model, computer and connected apps such as Gmail, Slack or Notion. A small local server runs every agent, and conversations and keys stay in a folder on your computer rather than a cloud.

How to use it

Download the desktop app: a signed installer for Mac with Apple silicon or Intel, a Windows installer, or an Ubuntu package with a beta AppImage. Then create bots, pick a model for each, and chat with them like contacts in a messaging app.

Caveat OpenMausBot is not affiliated with xAI, Meta, OpenAI or Manus, and it has no cryptocurrency token; any coin using its name is not from this project.

Worth knowing Licensed under Apache-2.0. Letting bots control your own computer is opt-in on macOS and Ubuntu Xorg, and stays disabled on Ubuntu's Wayland display system for now.
