I love the desktop app, and I run my own agents locally. Amazing job to the team! BTW, we are live on Product Hunt today -

Our domain is fire

What is this copy of openbot? @OpenBot_

@OpenBot_ We started building the infra for this months ago and launched the initial @0penBot version back in August. It's actually very different, architecturally. This is designed to take to real user-facing products, with your stack, design, and infra.

@MellowJellyfis3 @OpenBot_ @0penBot Imo dosnt matter guys. Openbot (.run) is on socials for over 1.5 years. Don’t get me wrong, Havnt tried your product yet, but it really sounds like some cheap rippoff.

I don't believe that's true, wayback machine registers the website you mentioned coming online just about a month ago (October). Even if it existed (unregistered) prior, the reality is both products started taking off at similar times in the last few months. As far as we can tell we launched first, but it doesn't really matter one way or the other - we welcome and respect competition including ones with good taste in product names :) is definitely not a cheap knockoff - it already has industry-leading usage - and it is an enterprise-first solution built on the CopilotKit and AG-UI stacks which power tens of millions of sessions every day in, and are used in production by the majority of the Fortune 500s. Beyond allowing for custom models, by CopilotKit lets you bring custom agents/harnesses from essentially any provider (Claude Agents, OpenAI Agents, Langchain, Google ADK, AWS Strands... and many more). with best in class user experience as well as enterprise governance for those agents. Enterprise-ready through and through

Consolidation of all the open co-workers into @0penBot is huge!

CopilotKit 🤝 OpenBot

Finally, a real production-grade open source AI coworker product. Not another vibe coded slop project that's flashy from the outside and rusting from the inside 😂

Self-host plus computer use lets the work stay on company machines. The hard part is enough access to be useful, with approval before risky actions. Which actions require a yes first?

@OpenBot_ is the same?

No, not at all. Ours is built on @CopilotKit building blocks, so it's production-ready for real enterprises. Most of our infra behind OpenBot already has adoption by the biggest agent companies like Google, AWS, Microsoft, Anthropic, LangChain, Mastra, CrewAI etc. (such as AG-UI protocol) We've been shipping these open templates for a while and decided (after popular demand) to consolidate them all into one proper product.

@OpenBot_ @CopilotKit I got confused by the name. 😅😅

self-hosting is the whole point

does computer use get its own vm?

Yes

Do you plan some integrations / customisations? E.g. i need my i to connect with my CRM. of course i can use its mcp and have just plain text responses. But maybe i could have some tighter integration so that i would e.g. have open bot in my CRM and vice versa.

Yes definitely. Feel free to reach out to @nathan_tarbert who leads our community for feedback and any requests you have. In the end, however, this product can be FULLY customizable by you, tailored to your needs. We won't lock you in to any one vendor or feature.

@nathan_tarbert thx. BTW Feedback for OpenBot @norbertbodziony: I would love to have Czech version for my collegues who do not understand english. If you want and would create Czech version of all texts, just let me know, i could manualy go all over all of them to validate them.

@ataiiam @norbertbodziony Hey @tkapler, would you like to contribute to this?

yep. For localisation the problem is that all texts are hardcoded in english in the react components. There is an opened issue #767 for chinese translation, imo you should "simply" do standard i18n, i guess some claude session could do it within an hour. I could fork it and do it, just do not know if this is something you plan / want. I want updates and do not have to update my version all the time. Only 20 % of people on the planet can speak english at some level, maybe half of it, so just 1/10 good enough for using english apps, and as all the AI can speak any language, you could easily have 10x bigger target group with just one fable prompt like "make a proper i18n for the whole application" :-) or you can hire me for taking care of european languages :-)

Congrats on the launch @ataiiam and @CopilotKit team 🚀🚀

this is the open source alternative to grok bot, dots, muse, duet & pretty much everything else.. ayo my token bill can finally chill

Incredibly proud of this product and can’t wait for folks to try out 1.0!

Self-hostable is the key! Own your intelligence stack

this like exists already tho?

Missed opportunity on establishing the name earlier, you guys had it first. Lot of work to do on isolating product rn.

Curious how long this name will last before the inevitable rename to avoid confusion with @OpenBot_

Maybe needs another name? Because @OpenBot_ Ultimately this will harm both because of the confusion I think

Self-hosting matters a lot for companies that cannot send data out. How does OpenBot handle permissions when the computer-use agent touches internal tools?

great product, but the basics should be working - I am not able to properly update that and I just can't see the proper reason why it won't update.

This doesn't look like our product lol. Wrong one!

Shit - so you guys have the same name as @OpenBot_ - very good!

i would strongly recommend another name, people will be very confused lol

não tinha um nome melhor não?

We've had this name for a while now actually

Sim, mas o outro concorrente já vem se destacando. Acho uma estratégia ruim

Requirements To run the open-source template locally, you’ll need the following. Docker, for PostgreSQL and the shipped Bots. Bun 1.4+, for the app, the API server and the tests (some tests fail on 1.3). A CopilotKit Intelligence project and license. A free plan is available, and Intelligence can be self-hosted. A model key. The proof-of-concept Bot uses OpenAI; the LangGraph Bot can use OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google.

模型是使用api自行配置吗

@rafadiasdev ???

You must allow third-party servers.

For a small team self-hosting this, what does an upgrade look like after they have customized the UI and added their own agents? Keeping those changes intact would matter a lot for ongoing maintenance.

One useful self-hosting safeguard: restore backups with routines paused, then preview overdue jobs before enabling them. Recovering the AI coworker shouldn't also recover three weeks of emails it was meaning to send.

It has everything you'd expect and want: 1. Great UX 🥀🥀🥀

What the fuck is going on?😂 @norbertbodziony

Bro don't you have better names? This is the real @OpenBot_ and no way you're taking that from them

@norbertbodziony ur gonna be interested
