🛠 Open-Cowork — an open-source alternative to Claude Co-Work
The project allows you to delegate tasks to an AI agent that can control a desktop, browser, or virtual machine. Thanks to BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) support, you can connect any models, including local ones via Ollama or LM Studio.
🌍 The emergence of high-quality open-source solutions for Computer Use lowers the barrier to entry for automation and provides more control over security and model usage costs.
👤 You can deploy your own AI employee on your own hardware, maintaining control over the agent's actions on the screen. However, the risk of data leakage remains when transferring control via third-party APIs.
