OpenMausBot: Your Own Local Agent Team

🔥 What happened OpenMausBot launched as an open-source alternative to Grok Bot, Meta Muse, and OpenAI dots. It runs a roster of AI agents as chat contacts on your own machine, each with its own model, cloud desktop, and connected apps. 💡 Why it matters Four closed personal-agent products shipped in just seven weeks of 2026 — all keeping the model, computer, and your data on the vendor's side. OpenMausBot flips that: Apache 2.0, local storage in ~/.openmausbot, your existing Claude or Codex login, no new account required. ⚡ Our take Finally someone drags the agent pattern out of the cloud and back onto your own hardware. If you don't want your API keys and transcripts parked at Meta or OpenAI, this is a real option — assuming the beta delivers on the README's promises.
