OpenWorker is an AI agent that runs locally on a user's computer and completes everyday tasks by working directly inside tools such as files, Slack, calendar, and email. Users request high-level outcomes rather than single commands, and the agent plans and executes steps to produce finished deliverables like a polished document, a sent Slack message, or an updated calendar entry. It checks in for approval before important actions, keeping the user in control.
