Practical overview
When it fits
Use Openbotx when you want a browser-based place to configure several agents, assign work and monitor task status, with provider credentials and local setup managed as part of the process.
Who it is for
- People coordinating work across multiple AI agents.
- Developers or operators configuring provider-backed agents and their tools.
- Users who want to extend agent capabilities with Markdown-based skills.
Documented uses
- Create agents with independent models, tools and workspaces.
- Assign tasks and follow agent status on a live task board.
- Configure workflows that use built-in capabilities such as browser automation, web search or scheduling.
- Extend agent capabilities using skills.
Requirements & limits
The documented local setup requires Python 3.11 or later and UV. Openbotx is identified as open source under the MIT license.
- The application supports multiple named model providers and OpenAI-compatible endpoints, but setup requires a provider API key.
- The README describes browser access and also lists Telegram as a channel.
- The project provides both package-based quick-start instructions and a from-source setup path.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Install and start Openbotx locally
Set up the application and open its local web control panel.
