OpenMuse

What is OpenMuse?

OpenMuse is an open-source personal agent from CopilotKit that works through its own browser, files, and optional Linux terminal. Ask for an outcome, follow the plan it builds, and approve actions like sending email or changing your calendar. It runs on iOS, Android, and web, and developers can self-host it.

Top Features:

• Agent computer: a persistent Chromium browser you can take over at any moment.
• Durable tasks: plans keep running in the background with pause and retry controls.
• Gmail and Calendar: reads threads, drafts replies, and proposes events for your approval.

Use Cases:

• Inbox triage: read an email, fill the attached PDF form, and draft a reply.
• Price watching: track public pages and get alerts when a price drops.
• Web research: let the agent browse and return summarized findings in chat.

Who Can Use OpenMuse?
