OpenBot is a local-first harness for running AI agents. It exposes a small event API, local file storage, and a Melony-powered runtime.

What it does

Runs a local agent server on port 4132 by default.
Stores channels, threads, agents, plugins, and config under ~/.openbot.
Ships with a built-in system agent (LLM runtime + storage tools).
Ships with a built-in state agent for deterministic storage reads (no LLM).
Loads custom agents from ~/.openbot/agents/<agent-id>/AGENT.md.
Streams events to clients with Server-Sent Events.

Quick start

Requires Node.js >=20.12.0.

npm i -g openbot
openbot start

Local development:

npm install
npm run dev

Set an API key before starting (example for OpenAI):

export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
openbot start

API

GET /api/events — SSE stream for a channel or thread.
POST /api/publish — publish an event (defaults to the system agent).
GET /api/state — run an event and return resulting events (defaults to the state agent).

Example:

curl -X POST http://localhost:4132/api/publish \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{"type":"agent:invoke","data":{"role":"user","content":"hello"}}'

Context headers/fields: channelId, threadId, agentId, runId.

Built-in plugins (this edition)

Plugin	Role
`openbot`	LLM agent runtime with storage tools
`storage`	Channel/thread persistence
`ui`	Interactive UI widgets

Custom agents

Create ~/.openbot/agents/<agent-id>/AGENT.md:

---
name: Assistant
description: A helpful local assistant.
plugins:
  - id: openbot
    config:
      model: openai/gpt-4o-mini
  - id: storage
---

You are a careful assistant. Be concise and clear.
