OpenWork

OpenWork is a desktop app (and browser-based workspace) that lets individuals and teams run AI agents against their own files, tools, and data. It's built on OpenCode and positions itself as an open alternative to Claude Cowork, supporting 50+ LLMs from providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, and local models, rather than locking you to a single vendor.

The core idea: bring your own API keys, wire in the tools your team already uses, and package everything into reusable setups that anyone can import in one click. No terminal required.

Key capabilities:

• Multi-model support – switch between OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Bedrock, Azure AI Foundry, Mistral, OpenRouter, or local models. Connect your own keys or use a managed provider on cloud plans.
• Browser automation – describe a task in plain language and the agent executes it in a real browser. Like replies, extract data, fill forms, and save results to your machine.
• OpenWork Connect (MCP gateway) – add an MCP server or skill once, and every teammate gets it instantly across desktop, web, and any MCP-compatible client like Claude Code or Cursor. One URL covers your whole org, with auth, roles, and policies applied in transit.
• Skill and plugin sharing – Anthropic-compatible plugins and SKILL.md files work as-is. Teams package skills, configs, and MCP servers into a single shareable link.
• Local-first privacy – in desktop mode, files stay on your machine. Prompts go directly to the LLM provider you choose. Cloud workers are optional and sandboxed.
• Self-host or managed – run it on your own infrastructure or use OpenWork Cloud for central seat management, SSO, and bring-your-own inference.

For teams migrating from Claude Cowork, existing SKILL.md files and MCP servers import without modification. The free desktop app needs no account to start. Team plans add API access and the Extension Marketplace at $10 per seat per month after the first five free seats.
