OpenMausBot is an Electron app and local harness server that runs CLI-based AI agents like Claude and Codex as interactive chat contacts. It stores transcripts and keys in your home directory while giving each agent an isolated virtual machine or container to execute tasks. You can assign different models, connect external apps via Composio, and approve shell commands or file edits through inline permission cards.
It is worth trying if you want a local multi-agent setup without managing raw scripts or relying on a hosted SaaS dashboard. The catch is that local execution requires existing CLI subscriptions and careful permission management to avoid unintended system modifications. Skip this if you prefer a zero-config web service or rely entirely on cloud-managed agent fleets.
