OpenMausBot
by milind-soni
OpenMausBot is a desktop chat app that lets you talk to a team of AI bots, each running on Claude, Codex or Grok command-line tools already installed on your computer. Each bot can have its own personality, model, virtual computer and connected apps, and it asks for your approval before risky actions.

What you can do with it
- Create several AI bots, each with its own personality and model, and chat with them like contacts
- Give a bot a cloud or local virtual computer so it can run commands and edit files, with Allow or Deny approval cards
- Connect apps such as Gmail, Slack, GitHub and Notion through Composio so bots can use them as tools

- Grok Bot
- Meta Muse
- OpenAI dots
Our suggestion based on what it does, not a feature-by-feature comparison.
Make money with it
A freelancer could set up and tailor teams of bots with connected apps for small businesses as a paid automation setup service.
An idea, not financial advice. Check the licence before charging for anything built on it.
Ways a business could use it
- Delegate routine admin such as inbox triage, issue tracking and note-keeping to bots linked to Gmail, Slack and Notion, saving staff time
- Run separate coding or research bots on subscriptions you already pay for, instead of buying another agent product
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
Download the installer for macOS (.dmg), Windows (.exe) or Ubuntu (.deb or AppImage), and have the claude, codex or grok command-line tools installed and signed in.
Follow the official instructions in the project README.
Things to check
- Needs existing paid Claude, Codex or Grok subscriptions or logins
- Connected apps rely on Composio, a third-party service
- Giving bots control of your own computer carries safety risks, though it requires opt-in
- Ubuntu Wayland host control is currently disabled
- Linux AppImage is beta
- Unrelated crypto tokens use a similar name; the project says it has no token
