## The Hook

OpenBot gives each AI coworker its own browser, files, and tool gate — every action decided before it happens and recorded after.

## What's Good

MIT (CopilotKit/OpenBot). Clone-and-run AG-UI coworker platform: Docker Compose, your Postgres, your model keys. Bots are config (`agents.yaml`), not hardcoded products. Gateway governs computer/file/MCP/component actions with a decision+audit trail. Bring LangGraph, Mastra, CrewAI, Pydantic AI, Google ADK, or hand-rolled AG-UI agents. Site + docs at copilotkit.ai/openbot. ★~5k and climbing after a fresh Aug 2026 launch.

## The Catch

Alpha template, not a hosted product — expect rough edges and you operate Compose yourself. Single-user default is for laptop demos; turn on real sign-in before multi-user. Vs CopilotKit (agent UI/protocol layer) and nanobot (personal gateway): OpenBot is the governed coworker computer stack built on AG-UI, not the React UI kit alone.

## Verdict

MIT AG-UI coworker platform. Clone when you need audited agent computers on your infra; still alpha.
