OpenBot
by CopilotKit
OpenBot is a template for running your own AI assistant platform on your own infrastructure. Each AI "coworker" gets its own browser, files and permitted tools, and every action it takes is checked beforehand and logged afterwards.

What you can do with it
- Run a company-owned chat assistant with ready-made coworkers such as a General Assistant and a Knowledge bot
- Bring your own agent built with LangGraph, Mastra, CrewAI or by hand, and give it a browser and files of its own
- Review, approve and audit every action an agent takes, and step in to take control of its browser when needed
Could replace
- ChatGPT
- Claude
- Grok
Our suggestion based on what it does, not a feature-by-feature comparison.
Make money with it
A developer could set up and customise governed AI coworkers for small companies as a paid consulting or implementation service.
An idea, not financial advice. Check the licence before charging for anything built on it.
Ways a business could use it
- Give staff an in-house AI assistant that keeps company data on your own infrastructure instead of paying per seat for hosted chat tools
- Automate routine work such as triaging tickets, drafting release notes or checking expense claims, with a full record of what the agent did
Can you use it commercially?
Free to use, change and sell, including in paid products. Keep the copyright notice.
Not legal advice. Read the project's licence file before building a product on it.
Getting it running
Clone the repository, then use Docker for PostgreSQL and the bots, Bun for the app, and a CopilotKit Intelligence project plus a model API key.
Follow the official instructions in the project README.
Things to check
- Alpha software under active development, with rough edges expected
- Described as a template to clone, not a finished product or published package
- Needs a CopilotKit Intelligence project and licence (a free plan exists) plus a paid model API key
- Single-user mode is on by default and must be turned off before anyone else can access it
