AI Briefingopenwork: A free desktop app that unifies Codex, Claude, and Cursor
different-ai/openwork
About the project
It offers features similar to Claude Cowork and Codex, but is a free open-source desktop app that supports macOS, Windows, and Linux. It is designed to avoid dependency on specific agents, allowing users to easily share their AI workflows with team members or other devices.
The core concept is connecting to various AI agents you already use, such as Codex, Claude Code, and Cursor, via OpenWork MCP. Through two tools, search_capabilities and execute_capability, it finds and executes available functions, and also supports integration with external services like Google Workspace and Microsoft 365.
OpenWork Den serves as a team-level management control plane for large organizations. It allows setting access permissions for model providers and deploying skills and plugins through a marketplace. It also provides the ability to import Anthropic-compatible plugins and convert them for use via OpenWork MCP.
With a low barrier to adoption, it can be used directly from existing AI agents without a dedicated desktop app. It is useful for sharing automation scripts created by individual developers with colleagues, or for enterprises deploying internally standardized AI tools and controlling access.
