Product Overview
What is OpenWork?
OpenWork is an open-source, enterprise-ready desktop application that serves as an alternative to Claude Cowork. It allows users to connect to over 50 LLM providers using their own API keys, while building and sharing reusable AI agent setups across teams. The platform supports custom skills, Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, and agents that can perform multi-step tasks including browser automation, file management, and tool integration. Organizations can deploy OpenWork via their cloud service or self-host it on-premise with full control over their infrastructure and compliance requirements.
Key Features
50+ LLM Provider Support
Access over 50 model providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, and Ollama by bringing your own API keys with no subscription fees.
Skills and MCP Integration
Build custom skills (code + prompts in single files) and plug MCP servers into your workspace to extend agent capabilities with your internal tools and documentation.
Team Sharing Workspaces
Share AI agent setups seamlessly with your team via links, enabling both technical and non-technical teammates to use the same agents from UI, Slack, or Telegram.
Browser Automation
Let OpenWork run tasks in Chrome automatically, including scrolling, clicking, form entry, research workflows, and repetitive web tasks with screenshot verification.
Enterprise Guardrails
Built-in security guardrails for enterprise deployments with admin control over which skills, plugins, and MCPs users can access through the cloud or self-hosted setup.
Model-Independent Deployment
Deploy wherever you want—use OpenWork cloud, self-host on-premise, in your cloud, or hybrid. Route per task to control costs and only pay frontier prices when needed.
Use Cases
- Team AI Automation : Teams build reusable agent workflows once and share them across the organization, enabling consistent automation of daily tasks like data extraction, file processing, and reporting.
- Daily Task Execution : Non-technical employees handle multi-step tasks like social media management, research workflows, form entry, and CSV export without living in a terminal.
- Enterprise Compliance : Companies with strict security requirements keep everything inside their trust perimeter by self-hosting with their own LLMs, infrastructure, and compliance posture.
- Development Workflows : Developers automate code formatting, linting checks, GitHub issue lifecycle management, pull request creation, and Discord operations through AI agents.
- Internal Tool Integration : Organizations reuse existing MCPs, runbooks, scripts, and docs as agent capabilities, connecting their home servers, Home Assistant, and custom web apps.
