CopilotKit releases OpenBot 1.0, a self-hostable open-source AI coworker

Nov 13, 2026
Every bot action passes a policy check and is logged before it runs; companies bring their own models and agents.

CopilotKit, the team behind the AG-UI protocol, has released OpenBot 1.0, an MIT-licensed, self-hostable workspace where AI agents work on tasks, MarkTechPost reports. Companies bring their own models, agents and infrastructure.

Each bot gets its own container with a browser, logins and files, and can reach only the tools it is granted. Every click, file write and MCP tool call passes through one gateway that checks a policy and writes an audit record before acting. Agents built with frameworks such as the Claude Agent SDK, OpenAI Agents SDK, LangChain and Google ADK can plug in through AG-UI.
