OpenMausBot is an open-source Grok Bot alternative: an independent project inspired by Grok Bot, and the open-source alternative to Meta Muse, OpenAI dots and Cue by Manus — bring-your-own-agent, local-first, on the models you already have. Also known as MausBot; formerly OpenGrokBot. Not affiliated with xAI, Meta, OpenAI or Manus.

Every bot in the sidebar is a real agent — Claude or Codex running locally under the hood — with its own
personality, its own model, its own cloud computer, and its own connected apps.
Talk to them like contacts. Watch them work. Approve what matters.

 Why

One assistant in one box is the wrong shape for agents. OpenMausBot is an independent, open-source project inspired by Grok Bot —
it keeps the idea (AI as a messaging app: a roster of bots you chat with, each with its own personality,
memory of its thread, model, computer, and apps) and rebuilds it open, local-first, and on the agents you
already have:

- Bring your own agents. Bots run on the claude, codex, and grok CLIs installed on your own machine
  — your existing logins and subscriptions, no new accounts, no proxy in the middle. Point any engine at a
  custom CLI binary (a versioned build or wrapper) in Settings → Engines.
- Local first. One small harness server on 127.0.0.1 owns every agent process. Transcripts, keys, and
  events live in ~/.openmausbot, not a cloud.
- Agents with hands. Each bot can use a cloud Linux desktop, an isolated Local VM, or—where the platform
  safety boundary is currently certified—your own computer, plus 500+ apps through Composio. Host control is
  available on macOS and Ubuntu Xorg after explicit opt-in. Ubuntu Wayland host control remains disabled while
  issue 345 is resolved.

 The open-source alternative to Grok Bot, Muse, dots and Cue

Four closed personal-agent products shipped in seven weeks of 2026, and each one keeps the model, the
computer and your data on its maker's side of the line. OpenMausBot is the open-source version of that
shape: a team of agents in a chat app, each with its own model, its own computer and its own connected
apps, running on your machine under Apache 2.0. If

What's new in 0.1.149

 Clouds stay up when bots hand out a lot of work
- No more freezes when one bot hands work to many. When many bot turns waited for memory at once, the server could use all its CPU re-checking the queue and stop answering. Waiting is now cheap, so the Cloud keeps working while the queue drains.
- Starter runs two tasks at once. Other tasks wait their turn, and your own chat still goes first. Once two are running and four are waiting, a new hand-off is refused with a clear note, and you're offered an upgrade to run more.
- Starter keeps five bots awake, including after a r
