What is it?

OpenBot is a self-hosted platform for running AI assistants, called coworkers or Bots, inside your own infrastructure. Each Bot runs in its own container with a Chromium browser, a persistent workspace and its own logins, and it can only use the tools it has been granted. Docker Compose brings up the app, API server, PostgreSQL and the Bot computers, and the model provider is supplied by the administrator.

Any agent that speaks the AG-UI protocol can be registered as a Bot, whether it is built with LangGraph, Mastra, CrewAI, Pydantic AI, Google ADK or written by hand. Browser, file, shell and MCP tool calls all pass through a single gateway that evaluates CEL policy rules, writes an audit record, and only then acts or refuses. Users can take manual control of a Bot's browser when it hits a login or 2FA prompt.

The project is in alpha and is distributed as a template to clone and customize rather than a hosted product. It includes sign-in through Google, Microsoft, Okta or SAML/OIDC providers, scheduled routines, reusable skills, and sandboxed UI components.

Key features

  • 01Each Bot gets its own container with a browser, workspace and browser profile.
  • 02Any AG-UI endpoint can be registered as a Bot.
  • 03Tool calls are checked against CEL policy rules before running and logged in an audit trail.
  • 04Users can take over a Bot's browser to handle logins or 2FA prompts.
  • 05Scheduled routines, personal and deployment skills, and MCP server integrations are included.

Use cases

  • Giving an internal team an AI assistant that runs on company infrastructure with auditable browser and file access.
  • Building a governed agent that operates web apps using saved logins under approval rules.
  • Experimenting with AG-UI agents built on different frameworks inside one shared interface.
  • Running scheduled AI tasks that report back into a chat channel.
