Practical overview
When it fits
Use it when management work spans several executive disciplines and needs a unified response grounded in organizational context and prior decisions.
Who it is for
- Leaders and management teams
- Organizations planning a configurable multi-agent management assistant
- Developers evaluating FastAPI, Next.js, Claude and RAG architectures
Documented uses
- Route leadership and management questions to specialist agents
- Generate cross-functional executive responses
- Use company documents and built-in management knowledge as retrieval context
- Carry decisions and initiatives between sessions
- Surface scheduled follow-ups and time-sensitive actions
Requirements & limits
The repository is public and displays an Apache-2.0 license. The documented quick start uses a local setup with an Anthropic API key. A managed cloud offering is described as coming, not as currently available.
- The single executive voice hides the internal specialist-agent architecture from users.
- The documented system supports retrieval from built-in knowledge and uploaded company documents.
- Episodic memory stores decisions and initiatives for later sessions.
- The scheduler requires a single API instance unless additional gating is implemented.
- The project uses FastAPI, Next.js 15, ChromaDB, SQLite and Anthropic Claude.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Set up the Openexecutive development environment
Install the backend and web application, configure an Anthropic API key and start the documented development environment.
Before you start
- A cloned copy of the SenteLabsAI/OpenExecutive repository
- An Anthropic API key
- The repository’s documented Python 3.11+, Next.js 15 and dependency setup

Clone the repository and change into its directory.
Run the command below to install the backend and web application dependencies.
make installCopy
.env.exampleto.envand add the Anthropic API key.Run the command below to start the documented development environment.
make dev
Expected outcome
The local Openexecutive development environment is started using the repository’s documented quick-start sequence.
Guide limitations
- The supplied documentation does not describe the subsequent user workflow or verify a completed run.
- The scheduler is documented as single-instance and should not be horizontally scaled without scheduler gating.
