Open-Source Computer-Use and Browser Agents

Hope Agent is a desktop AI assistant that can also run without a desktop interface on a NAS or cloud server. It's for people who want ongoing project work, memory and task state to carry across sessions and devices. It supports local model setup. Data stays on the hosting machine by default, while requests to remote models go directly to the selected provider.

Purple is a desktop AI assistant for Linux and macOS that lets Ollama models carry out tasks on your computer. It's for people who want chat alongside shell commands, file operations and longer tasks they can review before execution.

GooeyPi gives developers a desktop interface for working with Pi, OMP and Prime Agent on local coding projects. Each agent keeps its own models, credentials and sessions, and switching agents doesn't stop work running in another.

Webcmd is a browser automation tool for developers whose AI agents repeatedly work with the same websites. It keeps what agents learn locally so later tasks can use familiar workflows instead of inspecting each site from scratch.

gptme is an AI agent for developers and people doing data analysis or other knowledge work in their own environment. It can act on files and use installed tools, with a choice of local models or cloud providers.

Eidon AI is a self-hosted AI assistant for people who want everyday chat and agents that can carry out longer tasks on their own computer or server. A Chief of Staff agent answers directly, delegates work to specialists, or creates an agent for a task. Agents can message each other and keep working on a schedule.

OpenManus is a Python framework for developers who want to run and extend a general AI agent on their own machine. You give it tasks through a terminal, and it connects a language model to tools that can act on those tasks.

HolaOS is a desktop AI workspace with a self-hostable runtime for teams that want agents to work with their apps and files. Claude Code, Codex and its built-in agent share tools and project memory. Workspace storage is local. Default built-in model access uses your HolaOS account and hosted inference; you can also configure your own provider or compatible endpoint.

Codel is a self-hosted AI agent for people who want software to carry out multi-step tasks and projects using a terminal, web browser, and text editor. It chooses and performs the next action itself, with task execution inside a sandboxed Docker environment. You access its interface through your browser.

Bytebot carries out tasks described in plain language on its own virtual desktop. It's for people automating document work, research, or tasks across several applications. The project is archived and no longer maintained.

Browser Control lets trusted coding agents work in the Chromium-family browser you already use. It's for developers who want browser automation to use their existing accounts and extensions.

UI-TARS Desktop is a desktop AI agent that operates graphical apps on your computer from natural language requests. It's for people who want to delegate tasks through the interfaces they already use. The app supports fully local processing and also offers remote computer and browser operators; controlling a local computer and choosing a remote operator are separate modes.
