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.
The agent is delivered as downloadable applications for Mac and Windows, with a Linux version listed as coming soon. It operates as a local-first and privacy-preserving system that supports bringing your own model and API keys. OpenWorker is 100 percent open source.
It is presented as free software. The interface shows example interactions such as preparing for a sales renewal call, generating a brief from customer data, and seeking approval before sending follow-up email. Progress tracking and artifact management appear in the workflow, with the agent accessing folders and producing files like HTML reports.
OpenWorker sits in PulseGate's Autonomous agents & workflows category. It focuses on delegating complex, multi-step everyday work tasks to an AI that can act directly in your existing desktop tools while keeping you in control. It is built as an open-source project for knowledge workers and professionals. OpenWorker costs nothing to use. The product ships for the web, macOS, and Windows, and it can be self-hosted.
