AI that gets your everyday tasks done. OpenWorker is an open-source AI coworker that lives on your desktop and delivers finished work, not just chat: a polished document, a Slack reply with the numbers, an updated calendar, a triaged inbox.
It runs on your machine and doesn't lock you into any model: bring your own API key for OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or an open-weight provider, or run fully local with Ollama. Your data leaves your machine only through the model and integrations you choose.
