What MausBot does, one question at a time

• An open source team of AI agents, in a chat app

  MausBot is a free, open source (Apache 2.0) chat app for a team of AI agents. Every contact is a bot with its own model, instructions, memory and computer. Bots share group chats, hand work to each other and report back, and run automations on a schedule. It runs on macOS, Windows and Ubuntu, on the AI accounts you already have.

• AI agents that use their own computer

  In MausBot, each bot can have its own computer: a cloud desktop that sleeps when idle, a local VM in Docker or Podman, your own VPS, or your own machine when you allow it. You watch the bot's screen live and can take control at any time. MausBot is free and open source; Cloud plans include computer-hours.

• An open source personal AI agent

  MausBot is a free, open source personal AI agent that runs on your own computer. Each bot keeps a plain-text memory you can read, edit and delete, connects to Gmail, Slack, Notion and hundreds more apps, talks back by voice, and sets up its own automations from a sentence. It runs on the Claude, ChatGPT or Grok account you already have.
