What it does
OpenMausBot works like a messaging app, but your contacts are AI bots. Each bot is a real agent, running Claude, Codex or Grok tools already installed on your computer, with its own personality and model.
Each bot can use a cloud desktop, an isolated virtual machine or, if you allow it, your own computer, and can connect to apps like Gmail, Slack and GitHub. Risky actions show up as cards you approve or deny.
It uses your existing logins and stores conversations and keys on your own computer.
Who it's for
People who already use Claude, Codex or Grok and want a team of AI agents they can chat with and supervise.
