Open Coworker
Open source · MIT · Beta v0.1Beta means Open Coworker is new and improving fast. Everything here works, but you may hit the occasional rough edge — updates ship every week.

An AI coworker that doesn’t just chat, but carries out tasks

Open Coworker is a free desktop app that actually gets work done. It goes beyond chat to manage your emails, reply to Slack threads, and edit files on your machine. You get finished deliverables from a local agent that keeps your memory private and runs on the model provider of your choice.

Free to use, but it needs a model: bring your own API key — OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and more — or run a local model with Ollama.

By downloading, you agree to the Terms of Service.

01 — Chat

Ask anything

Quick questions, brainstorming, thinking out loud. Spin up a session, get an answer, move on.

02 — Cowork

Get deliverables

Hand off a real task — a memo, an analysis, a data pull — and get the finished file back.

Open source, all the way down.

MIT license Any model provider Local-first

The agent engine, the desktop app, the connectors — every part of Open Coworker is on GitHub under the MIT license. Read it, fork it, point it at your own models.

No account, no telemetry, no lock-in. Bring an API key from the provider you already use — or run a local model — and your sessions, files and memory stay on your machine.
