What even is OpenBot?
It’s a free, open-source Grok Bot alternative that runs locally on your machine.
Create AI teammates, give them jobs, and let them work for you.
This guys are probably deploying faster than a team of a few thousands of @grok@bot
That's why I'm placing all my money into OpenBot.
Wich is nothing because is FREE TO USE.

@adeolaade_@testdriveso Thanks for giving it a try, and sorry the first experience was confusing. You shouldn’t get mock replies when asking an agent to do a real task. Which provider did you select, and did it show as connected? We’d love to look into what happened.
@_jhohannes@openbot The agent runs on your computer, but the Grok model runs on xAI’s servers, your prompts are sent there. OpenCode’s free models are hosted too. For fully local AI, connect a model through Ollama or LM Studio.
OpenBot 0.45.0–0.47.0
🎙️ Voice, your way
- Talk to an agent in a live voice conversation, with spoken replies and controls to mute, interrupt, or end the session.
- Dictate messages and have replies read aloud in 31 languages, with a choice of voices.
- Voice processing stays on your computer. When using a remote agent, only the text is sent to the server.
More control over agent work
- Ask side questions from the web app and on joined servers.
- Let an agent show its plan before a longer task, or start a fresh chat for itself after saving notes.
- See the subagents used by Claude and Codex, with their tasks and progress.
- Change an agent’s model or reasoning effort while it’s working; the change applies to its next turn.
More providers and integrations
- Connect multiple Slack workspaces and Discord servers, with optional role-based access for Discord.
- Use Inception’s Mercury models as a provider.
- Choose Codex’s Fast service tier for supported models.
- Attach ZIP files for agents to extract, and receive ZIP archives back in chat. Remote servers need v0.47.0 to accept ZIP attachments.
Clearer notifications
- Get desktop and web notifications when an agent needs you to finish a browser step, or when a message or routine can’t start.
- Server notification settings now work across desktop and phone, so events aren’t missed while you’re using your computer.
Built for teams
- Run routines around the clock on an OpenBot server.
- Manage company licenses for teams, including seats and member limits.

@martin_ict_algo@echrstian Could you share a bit more detail? When does it show “Reconnecting,” and does it eventually reconnect? What phone and server setup are you using?
