About this codebase
OpenBot is an agent platform you deploy in your own infrastructure: it consumes AG-UI-speaking “Bots” plus your Docker Compose runtime and PostgreSQL, runs the browser-based coworker execution with per-socket screen ownership and pre-action enforcement, records an auditable trail, and outputs user-visible bot sessions (web UI + bot endpoints) and an admin audit log you can govern before and after actions. Administrators use it to onboard trustworthy AI coworkers with tool boundaries, while agent builders use it to plug in framework-agnostic Agents over AG-UI (LangGraph, Mastra, CrewAI, Pydantic AI, or custom-by-hand).

Code health
This codebase scores 7.4 out of 10 for code health, which we rate good. It also scores maintainability 8.9 and static performance 9.9 out of 10. The three are scored separately and never blended into one number. Risk is concentrated, as it usually is: 105 of 772 files are git hotspots, and they average 5.5 — which is where the fixes pay off most.

Delete 8 unused symbols and files (200 lines)

Small effort
Improve what Repowise can see
Add a test coverage report
Without one, Repowise cannot tell tested code from untested code, so every test-related action says “unknown”.
- line coverage
- Unknown, no report
Small effortReview the 40 proposed decisions
None is accepted yet, so nothing can drift from one and agents get no enforced guidance from them.

openbot is an agent platform for running AI coworkers in your own infrastructure. Each coworker receives a browser, files and granted tools, while a gateway decides and records actions. The project is primarily written in TypeScript and also includes Rust, shell, Dockerfile and Python code.

Key features of openbot
- Each Bot receives its own container, workspace volume and browser profile.
- Bots can use a shell to run commands and process files through the same action gateway.
- The gateway evaluates policy, writes an audit record and then calls the computer.
- CEL policies can inspect tool, intent, Bot, actor, page, element, key, file and MCP fields, with denial evaluated before allowance.
- The interface shows a Bot's screen and an Activity tab with actions, outputs and saved-file metadata.
- Any AG-UI endpoint can be connected as a Bot, whether framework-based or hand-written.
How copilotkit/openbot works
Input enters through AG-UI-speaking Bots and the web interface, with app/src/main.tsx serving as a frontend entry point. The server module provides the Hono API, CopilotKit runtime, authentication, policy, audit, plugin, component, coworker and channel services. server/src/index.ts starts the server, while server/src/computer/gateway.ts evaluates and records computer actions before calling the computer service. The supervisor creates and manages one computer per Bot, and agent-computer/src/index.ts provides Chromium, a workspace and a browser profile. agent-bot/src/index.ts tracks agent history, while agent-langgraph/src/index.ts provides a LangGraph AG-UI Bot. The app presents Bot sessions and activity through the React frontend.
Open-source AI coworkers that each get a computer of their own: a browser, files and tools, with every action decided before it happens and recorded after. Bring any AG-UI agent. This page is a map of the copilotkit/openbot repository, written primarily in TypeScript, rebuilt from the source each time it is indexed. Repowise parses every symbol, computes a dependency graph, scores per-file code health from complexity, duplication, test coverage and churn, mines git history for hotspots and ownership, and lifts the architectural decisions into documentation you can read here or query through MCP.
The codebase has 772 files and 3,878 symbols in 14 modules, led by TypeScript, Rust and Shell. Code health is 7.4 out of 10, rated good.

How does openbot work?
openbot accepts AG-UI agents and runs them through a server gateway. The gateway evaluates policy, records an audit row and then calls a Bot computer managed by the supervisor.
How do I install openbot?
openbot is installed with bun install after creating .env from .env.example. Start it with bash scripts/start.sh after supplying the required credentials.
What language is openbot written in?

How is the openbot code organized?
openbot is organized into server, app, agent-computer, desktop, supervisor, agent-bot and agent-langgraph modules. The server handles API and governance services, while app provides the React interface and the agent modules provide Bot runtimes.
Who is openbot for?
openbot is for administrators onboarding AI coworkers with tool boundaries and agent builders connecting framework-based or custom AG-UI agents. It is designed to be cloned and adapted to an organization's coworkers, channels and skills.
