OPENBOT
1h agoOPENBOT is an independent, self-hostable implementation of the shape xAI shipped as Grok Bot. It is not affiliated with xAI and contains none of their code. OPENBOT gives you teammates: named, long-lived agents with their own conversation, memory and schedule, sharing one persistent computer with a browser, a shell and a filesystem.

Key Capabilities
01
Bots
Named teammates with a standing brief, a conversation that survives the process, and a schedule.
02
One computer
A durable workspace with content-addressed snapshots, a real browser driven over CDP, a shell, and a filesystem confined to the workspace root.
03
Approvals in the hub
Approvals in the hub The policy gate runs in the control plane, not in the agent, so the thing being gated cannot remove the gate. Allow once, allow for the session, or refuse.
04
Credentials
Credentials the Bot never reads A broker holds tokens. Connectors attach them at the moment of the outbound call, inside the hub, and upstream errors are scrubbed before they are returned.
05
Openbot acp
Two ways in openbot acp speaks the Agent Client Protocol to any editor that does. The desktop client runs over the same surface.
06
Routines
Cron and event triggers, with an inactivity brake: routines pause when nobody has looked at the account for a while.
07
Status
Pre-alpha. The hub, the agent loop, hub-enforced approvals, the durable volume, the browser, Bots with briefs and handoff, group threads, routines, the credential broker with MCP connectors, the computer viewer with hub-enforced takeover, the ACP adapter and the desktop client are built.
