OpenWork (OpenWork (YC P26)) is the open source alternative to Claude Cowork. Roll out AI compliantly across your non-technical org at scale. Use your existing agents, deploy on-prem, and use any LLM provider you want. They already have 14k stars on GitHub with over 150k downloads. Congrats on the... launch, Benjamin Shafii!show more

@getopenwork Massive unlock for orgs 🫡

@getopenwork i swear this is def the future of most things in AI and huge kudos to the founders!!! betting high on this one

@getopenwork A must have for enterprises!

@getopenwork nice!

@benjaminshafii @getopenwork Lets gooo

@getopenwork learn more

@getopenwork let’s goooo 🔥🚀

@getopenwork Congrats!

@getopenwork Does it support all major LLM providers?

@getopenwork model agnostic plus deployable on prem is a real wedge. the agent layer needs to be portable.

@getopenwork great job @benjaminshafii and the team 🚀

@getopenwork The compliance piece is the real unlock here. biggest blocker for AI adoption in most orgs isnt the tech, its getting legal and ops to sign off. open source lets internal teams audit everything before it touches production data.

@getopenwork let's go, Ben!

@getopenwork open source wins again compliance was the killer feature all along

@getopenwork On-prem and multi-provider is the right approach. Vendor lock-in with AI agents is a bad idea this early.

@getopenwork Heck yeah Ben!

@getopenwork so cool!

@getopenwork Because nothing empowers a non-technical org quite like asking them to manage 'any LLM provider' on-prem. The bug reports will be glorious.

@getopenwork AI compliance in the wild - nice. on-prem deploys for large orgs tho, that's where the real complexity kicks in 🕷️

@getopenwork Really cool! Congrats @benjaminshafii

@getopenwork congrats on the launch!

@getopenwork This a real open source gem 💎

@getopenwork lets goooooo @benjaminshafii !!

@getopenwork What is the difference of this and open claw?

OpenWork deserves the attention. An open-source Claude Cowork alternative already at roughly 14,000 GitHub stars has cleared the “people want this” test. The missed point is what happens after rollout. the first win is always access. The second problem is always state. One team uses an agent for support, another for sales ops, another for search. The launch looks clean because each workflow works alone. The failure arrives when outputs cross boundaries with no durable contract, no audit trail, and no scoped recovery. That is the difference between adoption software and production software. Adoption gets agents installed, Production keeps them trustworthy after handoffs start.

@getopenwork 14k stars doesn't mean their support team can fix your yaml errors. at $120/hr, that's a bigger cost than claude's api

@getopenwork oooo lezgoooo

@getopenwork @gitlawb is better than this with 24k stars

@getopenwork Love it!!

@getopenwork Epic!! Congratulations to this epic team (huge fan of @OmarMcAdam )

@getopenwork

@getopenwork 14k estrellas en GitHub en 3 meses? Finally an AI solution that respects enterprise sovereignty. I love the smart cost-routing and BYO compliance approach. 💻

@getopenwork can’t wait to try!

@getopenwork Open-source alternatives appearing this fast signals the category is real but the UX isn’t locked in yet. The winning collaborative coding tool will be the one that nails the “when to intervene vs when to watch” balance.

@getopenwork Congrats Ben!!
