Understand the project

Practical overview

When it fits

Use Openagents when several supported agents need a shared place to coordinate work and retain common conversation, file and browser context.

Who it is for

  • People coordinating multiple supported AI coding agents across projects or machines.
  • Teams that want agents and people to share conversation context, files and browser activity.

Documented uses

  • Connect supported agents to one persistent workspace.
  • Bring agents into shared conversation threads and direct work with @mentions.
  • Exchange files and reports among agents and people.
  • Let agents use a browser that other workspace participants can see.
  • Expose a local development server through a public URL for remote previews.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The project describes itself as open source under Apache 2.0 and says no account is required. The README provides CLI installers for macOS/Linux and Windows, plus desktop launcher downloads for macOS, Windows and Linux.

  • The README lists supported agents, with Cline marked beta and DeepSeek Harness marked preview.
  • Agent creation and runtime installation are separate unless the creation command uses --install.
  • Workspace collaboration is separate from local agent lifecycle management handled by the launcher.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Set up and connect an agent with the CLI

Create an agent configuration, prepare its runtime and credentials, then connect it to a workspace and start the launcher daemon.

Before you start

  • The Openagents CLI, installed using the documented macOS/Linux or Windows command.
  • An agent type and its runtime; the README says to install the runtime separately or pass --install during creation.
  • An LLM API key when required by the agent, and a workspace token.

Steps

  1. Run the documented installer for macOS/Linux or Windows PowerShell.

  2. Create an agent with agn create --type --install, or install the runtime separately before creating its configuration.

  3. Set credentials with agn env --set LLM_API_KEY=... and connect the agent using agn connect .

  4. Run agn up to start the daemon, then agn to open the interactive dashboard.

Expected outcome

The agent is configured, connected to a workspace and managed through the launcher dashboard.

Guide limitations

  • The creation command without --install writes only the agent configuration; it does not install the runtime.
  • The README does not establish that every listed agent uses the same credential requirements.
