OpenMausBot: OpenMausBot: A Local AI Bot Team as an Alternative to Grok Bot

OpenMausBot is an open-source alternative to closed personal AI agent services such as Grok Bot, Meta Muse, and OpenAI dots. It manages multiple AI bots like contacts in a chat app, with each bot having its own independent model, cloud computer, and connected apps. It is an independent project unrelated to xAI, Meta, or OpenAI, and follows the Apache 2.0 license.

Users can directly connect their existing Claude, Codex, and Grok CLI to run agents locally. Data is stored in a local directory (~/.openmausbot) rather than the cloud, and existing logins and subscriptions are used as-is without an intermediate proxy. It runs on macOS, Windows, and Ubuntu, and each bot can use a cloud Linux desktop or an isolated local VM.

Risky operations, such as executing shell commands or modifying files, are displayed as cards in the chat window and only execute after user approval. It can connect to over 500 external apps, including Gmail, Slack, and GitHub, via OAuth through Composio. The channel feature allows separating work and personal projects, and an entire bot team can be installed or shared with a single Markdown file.

It is suitable for developers who want to configure multiple bots as a team rather than a single agent and precisely control each bot's model and permissions. It addresses the data privacy issues of closed services and can be used in a self-hosted environment by users who prefer a local-first architecture.
