What is OpenMausBot?

OpenMausBot is an open-source, local-first take on the AI-bots-in-a-chat-app idea. Each bot in the sidebar is a real agent running Claude or Codex on your machine, with its own personality, model, virtual computer and connected apps. You talk to them like contacts, watch them work and approve what matters, using your existing logins and subscriptions.

Third-party open-source projects. We are not affiliated with their authors; repositories are provided as-is by their maintainers. Review each project's license, code and security before installing. See our Disclaimer.

Pros: what OpenMausBot does well

  • Several agents with their own computers in one chat app
  • Uses the Claude and Codex accounts you already have
  • Data stays on your machine

Cons: where it falls short

  • Needs an existing Claude or Codex subscription
  • Running many agents can use a lot of tokens

Who OpenMausBot is for

People who want a roster of AI agents they can delegate tasks to and supervise.

Who can skip it

People happy with a single chat assistant.
