What it does
HolaOS is a workspace for AI agents. You connect the tools you already use, such as email, Notion, Slack or GitHub, and add apps, skills and integrations. Apps open right beside the agent, so you can watch it work and step in.
You can run its own agent or others such as Claude Code and Codex, and they share the same memory and tools. Models are built in with an account, or you can bring your own keys from AI providers.
Its makers say it is local-first: files, memory and history stay on your own disk, and the agent asks before acting. There is a desktop app, an open-source self-hosted version and an enterprise version.
Who it's for
Teams and companies that want a customisable AI agent workspace connected to their existing tools.
