CopilotKit released OpenBot 1.0 on November 9, an MIT-licensed, self-hostable AI agent workspace designed to eliminate vendor lock-in by letting organizations bring their own models, agents, and infrastructure. Built on the AG-UI protocol, OpenBot assigns each agent a dedicated containerized computer with a Chromium browser, file system, and scoped tool access via Composio, Arcade, or MCP hubs. Results render as interactive Markdown components such as charts and tables. A core governance gateway intercepts every browser click, file write, and tool call, evaluating Common Expression Language (CEL) policies with a deny-before-allow, fail-closed logic and writing audit logs prior to execution. The Business tier adds SSO/SCIM (Google, Entra, Okta, SAML, OIDC), on-behalf-of tokens, granular tool grants, human-in-the-loop routing, spend visibility with token limits, SIEM-ready audit trails, multi-tenancy, and EU AI Act compliance features. OpenBot supports any AG-UI-compatible agent from eight frameworks including LangChain, CrewAI, OpenAI Agents SDK, and Google ADK, plus models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, and open weights like DeepSeek, Qwen, and Mistral. Version 1.0 introduces signed desktop apps for macOS and Windows, a "Teach a Bot" recording-to-skill pipeline, multi-account support with per-account approval rules, and specialist Bot orchestration with depth limits. Deployment ranges from local personal use to a single Helm chart on EKS, AKS, or GKE. Pricing is free for personal use; Business tier costs up to $29 per active user monthly with a 5% surcharge on model spend exceeding $5,000/month, while annual plans include air-gapped deployment and 24/7 support.
