Hi everyone, some are reposting Coworker and saying it's an AI coding agent
It's not a coding agent and it is not meant to be one
It's more of a personal or work assistant desktop app like Grok Bot, Dots, OpenClaw or Hermes' assistant features(not the coding one)
Think of it as a simpler app compared to those apps. But I added features which I think are useful, like a dashboard where you can see all activities of your bots
It can web search, create files, schedule jobs and has approvals
It has a simple memory feature and supports Skills per bot
Like Hermes, you can pair each Bot with your Telegram or Discord if you need mobile access
You can give the bots access to folders but read-only. All files created are saved to the application folder but downloadable and can be opened from the app
I can't say it's a competitor to Grok Bot or Dots because it's just simple app
I built it for personal use and because I wanted to use local models and other models with it, yeah even the Chinese ones. Based on experience, we don't need very expensive models
I shared it to everyone because some might find it useful
I posted once that it is a personal assistant for the masses, an app which can democritize AI personal assistants
I even test with free models in OpenRouter to make sure it is compatible. Although not stable, if you really want free AI you can use those but of course with tradeoffs on availability and performance
It's in its early stages. I just work around my Codex, Claude Code, Cursor and Devin credits to build this so am limited with that.
Also, I’m a solo dev, so I’m building this alongside my other projects. I’m placing a few bets and hoping one of them really takes off
I have seen forks of the code and I am happy with that
Fork it and make it your own, this is the future of AI and we are now experiencing it now
Build your own apps with your own preferenes and own it
We are living in exciting times!
Sorry this was a bit long, maybe it should be an article!
Here's the repo if you want to fork or try it out
