Open Duet: Open-Source, Self-Hosted Workspace for AI Agents
Open Duet is an open-source, self-hosted workspace for creating named AI agents with instructions, roles, workspaces, memory, routines and approval settings. Its README says agents can delegate tasks, retain context and run scheduled work. Users can connect engines such as Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Cursor, OpenRouter, Ollama or LM Studio. The project does not include model access or subscriptions. Team delegation requires Claude, while the self-hosted server, Docker-based agent computers and browser tools remain experimental; the server setup is intended for a single owner rather than a multi-user organization.
Open Duet provides an open-source option for operating locally controlled AI-agent workflows with memory, scheduled routines and explicit approval settings. However, its capabilities are described by the project itself, and several features remain experimental or have significant limitations.
Open-source, self-hosted alternative to Claude Duet: AI coworkers (named agents) with instructions, memory, routines, their own isolated computer, and your approval before they act. Also an alternative to OpenAI Dots, Meta Muse, Grok Bot, Manus Cue and ChatGPT agent.
Open Duet
Your own team of AI coworkers, running on your computer or a server you control.
Open Duet is an open-source workspace for creating named AI agents, giving each one a job and a place to work, and chatting with them over time. Let a lead agent hand work to specialists, keep useful context between conversations, or set a routine to run later. Choose how much freedom an agent has, and review the actions it takes.
You choose where the app runs and which engine gets your prompts. Open Duet does not include a model or a model subscription.
