What is it?

Open Executive is a self-hosted AI assistant for founders and managers that answers business questions with one consistent executive voice. A central orchestrator routes each question to specialist agents covering strategy, finance, HR, legal, operations, marketing, product, sales and board communications, and combines their answers into a single response.

Each specialist retrieves context from a built-in set of management knowledge documents and from company documents the user uploads, stored in a local ChromaDB vector index. Synced sources such as Google Drive, OneDrive, Confluence and Notion are kept separate from uploaded documents and labelled as unreviewed. An episodic memory in SQLite records decisions and initiatives so later sessions can build on earlier advice, and a built-in scheduler can surface follow-ups.

The app is built with a FastAPI backend and a Next.js 15 web UI, and it works with Anthropic Claude models or, optionally, OpenAI-compatible local servers such as Ollama and vLLM. Chat access is available through the web app, Slack, Discord, Telegram, Google Chat and email, and it can run as an MCP server for other AI clients.

Key features

  • 01Nine specialist agents (strategy, finance, HR, legal, operations, marketing, product, sales, board) behind one executive persona
  • 02Retrieval over built-in management knowledge and uploaded company documents via ChromaDB
  • 03Episodic memory of past decisions and initiatives in SQLite
  • 04Integrations with Slack, Discord, Telegram, Google Chat, Gmail and Outlook, Notion and Confluence
  • 05Optional MCP server endpoint and MCP client gateway for external tools
  • 06Support for Claude models and OpenAI-compatible local model servers

Use cases

  • A founder wanting an AI sounding board for fundraising, pricing or hiring decisions grounded in company documents
  • A manager drafting replies or board updates that they review before sending
  • A team that wants to query its Confluence or Notion knowledge base from Slack or Discord
  • An engineering group exposing company context to coding agents through MCP

Quick start

  1. 1

    Clone the repository

    git clone https://github.com/SenteLabsAI/OpenExecutive.git
  2. 2

    Enter the project folder

    cd OpenExecutive
  3. 3

    Install backend and web app dependencies

    make install
  4. 4

    Add your Anthropic API key to the .env file, then start everything

    make dev

Things to know

  • Requires a paid Anthropic API key to run the agents.
  • The first install is heavy: it pulls ChromaDB and PyTorch and downloads an embedding model, so the first start takes several minutes.
  • On Windows, make must be run from Git Bash or WSL rather than PowerShell or cmd.
  • The API must run as a single instance because the scheduler is not safe to scale horizontally.
