TESIGN TAKE

It treats several agents as a team chat rather than one assistant, and does it on your own machine without a new cloud account.

A summary, not legal advice.

WHY IT MATTERS

It takes Grok Bot's idea that several agents belong in a messaging app rather than one assistant box, and rebuilds it open and local-first on the CLIs you already have. Each bot keeps its own personality, model, computer and connected apps, and each channel its own working folder; shell commands and file edits appear as Allow/Deny cards in the chat, and transcripts and keys stay in ~/.openmausbot. Releases ship a signed and notarized macOS .dmg, a Windows x64 installer and an Ubuntu 24.04 .deb.

BUILD FROM THIS

  • Add an engine with one file in server/drivers/, plug in any ACP-speaking CLI or OpenAI-compatible endpoint through config alone, or drive the bot team from Claude Desktop or Cursor through the bundled MCP server.

WHO IT'S FOR

Subscribers to coding agents
run several bots with different models and personalities from one chat window
Solo business owners
connect Gmail, Slack or Notion through Composio and hand off routine tasks (optional third-party service)
Developers
add engines through the driver SPI and control the team over MCP

CAVEATS

  • Licence Apache-2.0, except the enterprise/ folder, which is source-available under its own licence (delete it for the pure open-source edition). The app is free, but bots use the claude, codex or grok CLI subscriptions you are already signed into; running from source needs Node 24+ and pnpm.
  • macOS (Apple silicon and Intel) ships a signed and notarized .dmg, the Windows x64 installer is not yet code-signed so SmartScreen warns, and Ubuntu 24.04 is beta (bot control of the local computer is disabled on Wayland).
  • Cloud computers (Box, paid after trial), connected apps (Composio) and voice (ElevenLabs) are optional third-party services; the README calls the project 'early but real'.
