OpenMausBot bills itself as “the open-source Grok Bot alternative”: a self-hosted chat app where every “bot” is a real AI agent. It runs on the Claude, Codex or Grok CLIs you already have installed and logged in to. A local harness server (127.0.0.1:8799) owns every agent process, using a driver registry, an event bus and a permission broker to normalize each provider’s protocol into a single event stream, with a React + Vite UI and Electron desktop apps on top. Key features:
- Per-bot model selection, switchable mid-conversation
- A cloud or local virtual computer for each bot, with a live screen preview
- Inline approval cards before shell commands or file edits
- Channels (e.g., Work, Personal) with separate transcripts and rosters, plus “Auto” rooms for automatic routing
- 500+ app integrations via Composio (Gmail, Slack, GitHub and more), with schedules, webhooks and app-event triggers
- Spoken replies and voice calls (ElevenLabs, Fish Audio, local Chatterbox and others), an MCP server and a headless CLI
All data stays local in ~/.openmausbot, which targets developers who want an alternative to closed “personal agent team” products like Grok Bot, Meta Muse and OpenAI dots. With big platforms rolling out agent collaboration features (such as Meta’s new Muse Spaces), developers appear eager to get the same experience on their own machines with the subscriptions they already pay for — likely why it surged. The project was formerly named OpenGrokBot.
Practical takeaway: Teams that already pay for Claude or Codex can pilot department-level “agent teams” for repetitive work inside their own network, without adopting another SaaS.
