Introducing OpenBot for Business: Self-Hosted AI Coworkers, Built for Your Company

Today we're releasing OpenBot for Business - self-hosted AI coworkers, built for your company!

Over the past few months, we open-sourced our own versions of the big AI coworker products: OpenBot (Grok Bot), OpenMuse (Muse), OpenDots (dots) and OpenTag (Claude Tag). Together they have 19k+ GitHub stars and millions of views.

OpenBot is free and open source for developers. OpenBot for Business turns that core into one business-ready product, set up for you by our engineers. It's self-hostable, fully customizable, works with any agent harness and any model, and keeps learning from how your teams work.

Book a demo to get early access. Our engineers will build your first coworker with you, under your brand and provide dedicated support.

The problem with AI coworkers today

Every company wants a composable agent workspace for its AI coworkers. Your teams are probably trying Grok Bot, Muse or dots already, and the idea works: an agent that signs in to your tools, does the work in its own browser and comes back with the result.

But your company doesn't own any of it:

• Your data lives on their computer. Each one runs on a cloud computer its maker operates, along with the files, logins and memory your coworkers build up.
• The agent is theirs. The agents your team already built, with your own reasoning and tools, can't join as coworkers.
• Each one belongs to one person. Muse and dots are personal agents, and your company needs coworkers whole teams can share, under rules your IT team sets.

With OpenBot for Business, the data, the agents and the coworkers are all yours.

OpenBot for Business: set up on your infra, under your brand

You don't have to build any of this yourself. OpenBot for Business comes with our forward deployed engineers, who:

• Deploy OpenBot on your servers, from one machine to Kubernetes on EKS, AKS or GKE
• Make it look like your own product, with your branding, your design system and your coworkers
• Build your first coworker with you and support your team as it grows

Your teams get AI coworkers that feel built in-house.

AI coworkers for your teams

Each team gets coworkers that hold a real job, sign in to the tools it already uses and work on their own schedule. Here's what that looks like:

• Inbox Bot - answers the routine emails in your shared inbox and logs new leads in HubSpot.
• Sales Bot - posts a call brief on every account before the demo.
• Finance Bot - checks each expense claim against your policy and flags what breaks it.
• Support Bot - reproduces each new bug in its own browser and routes it to the right engineer.
• On-call Bot - posts an incident summary in Slack the moment PagerDuty fires.

Each coworker can get its own computer with a browser, files and logins, and asks a person before anything sensitive goes out.

Because OpenBot runs on AG-UI (Agent-User Interaction Protocol), your coworkers show up wherever your teams already work: the OpenBot app on web and desktop, Slack, Microsoft Teams, text messages or your own internal tools.

Coworkers also generate interfaces for a rich interactive experience, like charts, tables, forms and approval cards. Your admins can publish new components without redeploying.

Governed by your IT team

Every action a coworker takes passes through one checkpoint. It checks your rules, records the decision and only then lets the action happen. If any rule blocks it, it stops there.

Support Bot drafts a reply for #support. Your rule says a person signs off first, so the post waits for approval, and the decision is logged with who asked and when.

Your IT team also gets:

• Files and stored credentials that stay on your servers
• Your choice of which model providers see your prompts
• Allowlists for models and MCP servers, plus network rules for every coworker's computer
• Sign-in with Google, Microsoft, Okta, SAML or OIDC, and SCIM 2.0 to remove people who leave
• An audit trail of every action, allowed or refused, streaming to your SIEM

Your security team can see what every coworker did, who asked for it and whether it was allowed.

Bring your own agents and tools

OpenBot is built on the two open standards for AI agents.

AG-UI (Agent-User Interaction Protocol) connects agents to people. It's adopted by Google, Microsoft, Amazon and Oracle, and supported by most agent frameworks, including LangChain, Google ADK, Mastra and Microsoft Agent Framework. So any agent your team has already built joins OpenBot as a coworker, no matter which framework it runs on.

MCP connects agents to tools. Any MCP server your admins approve works in OpenBot, alongside connectors for Google Drive, Notion, web search through Parallel, Exa and Firecrawl, and a few hundred apps through Composio and Arcade.

You also choose the models: OpenAI, Anthropic, or local models through any OpenAI-compatible server like Ollama. Agents you bring keep their own model, so one coworker can run on Claude while another runs on OpenAI.

Learns from your teams

Your coworkers keep getting better from the work your teams already do.

Threads → Insights → Skills → your coworkers

With Automatic Learning, OpenBot reads your coworkers' finished threads, finds the patterns and proposes each one as a skill. Every skill is a SKILL.md you can review and edit, and once you approve it, it reaches your coworkers without redeploying.

Say people keep steering Sales Bot the same way on call briefs: lead with recent funding, keep it to one page. OpenBot turns that into a skill, and every brief after follows it.

With CLiF, coworkers also learn from your people's work in the browser. Show Finance Bot one expense review, and it runs the same steps on every new claim.

Admins can write workspace skills that anyone runs by typing /, and each person keeps skills of their own.

The more your teams use OpenBot, the more work your coworkers can take on.
