The open-source Grok Bot alternative: your own team of AI bots, in a chat app.

OpenMausBot is an open-source Grok Bot alternative: an independent project inspired by Grok Bot, and the open-source alternative to Meta Muse, OpenAI dots and Cue by Manus — bring-your-own-agent, local-first, on the models you already have. Also known as MausBot; formerly OpenGrokBot. Not affiliated with xAI, Meta, OpenAI or Manus.
Every bot in the sidebar is a real agent — Claude or Codex running locally under the hood — with its own
personality, its own model, its own cloud computer, and its own connected apps.
Talk to them like contacts. Watch them work. Approve what matters.

## Why
One assistant in one box is the wrong shape for agents. OpenMausBot is an independent, open-source project inspired by Grok Bot —
it keeps the idea (AI as a messaging app: a roster of bots you chat with, each with its own personality,
memory of its thread, model, computer, and apps) and rebuilds it open, local-first, and on the agents you
already have:
Bring your own agents. Bots run on the claude, codex, and grok CLIs installed on your own machine
— your existing logins and subscriptions, no new accounts, no proxy in the middle. Point any engine at a
custom CLI binary (a versioned build or wrapper) in Settings → Engines.
Local first. One small harness server on 127.0.0.1 owns every agent process. Transcripts, keys, and
events live in ~/.openmausbot, not a cloud.
Agents with hands. Each bot can use a cloud Linux desktop, an isolated Local VM, or—where the platform
safety boundary is currently certified—your own computer, plus 500+ apps through Composio. Host control is
available on macOS and Ubuntu Xorg after explicit opt-in. Ubuntu Wayland host control remains disabled while
issue #345 is resolved.
## The open-source alternative to Grok Bot, Muse, dots and Cue
Four closed personal-agent products shipped in seven weeks of 2026, and each one keeps the model, the
computer and your data on its maker's side of the line. OpenMausBot is the open-source version of that
shape: a team of agents in a chat app, each with its own model, its own computer and its own connected
apps, running on your machine under Apache 2.0. If you searched for an open Muse, open dots, an
open-source Grok Bot, an open Instinct or an open Cue, this is the repository.
