The Open Source AI Agent for Your Desktop

Use browser Save Files

Openwork™ is an open source AI desktop agent that reads your files, creates documents, and automates repetitive knowledge work—using your own API keys (OpenAI, Anthropic, Claude) or local models via Ollama.

Download for Mac (Apple Silicon) Star on GitHub

Openwork™ is an AI computer-use agent that runs on your computer. You can ask it to perform any browsing task, rename and organize files based on their contents, generate or rewrite documents, or scan a folder and summarize what's inside. It can also create calendar entries from meeting notes, draft follow-up documents, or prepare a folder for a project by setting up files and structure. Nothing leaves your machine unless you allow it, and every action is shown and approved before it runs.

What makes it different

It runs locally

• Your files stay on your machine
• You decide which folders it can touch
• Nothing gets sent to Openwork (or anyone else)

You bring your own AI

• Use your own API key (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.)
• No subscription, no upsell
• It's a tool-not a service

It's open source

• Every line of code is on GitHub
• MIT licensed
• Change it, fork it, break it, fix it

It acts, not just chats

• File management
• Document creation
• Custom automations
• Skill learning
