A closer look at OpenMuse
OpenMuse is a personal-agent application with an agent computer, visible work and rich results: it runs its own server, task worker and browser worker, browses public pages, runs commands in its own container, works with files, and moves PDFs between the computer and the app. It is alpha for self-hosting and building on, under an MIT licence, with a persistent Chromium browser, an optional Linux workspace, and streamed chat, plans, approvals and receipts.

When to choose OpenMuse
- builders who want a personal agent with a browser and terminal, since OpenMuse combines a persistent browser, an optional Linux workspace, files and PDF transfer.
- users who want visible, interruptible work, since the agent shows plans, progress, input requests, pause, resume, cancel and retry, with saved receipts.
- developers building on CopilotKit, since the app is built with CopilotKit headless chat and streamed events, and the template is meant to be cloned and customised.
When to choose something else
- users who need autonomous checkout, since the README lists autonomous checkout as future work.
- users who need graphical desktops, since graphical desktops are also listed as future work rather than available.
A practical starting workflow
- Clone the template and customise it for the intended use, following the docs and contributing guides.
- Configure the model setup and any live accounts, since open-ended reasoning, live Google accounts and Rich Threads need their own configuration.
- Run tasks through the agent computer, inspect the browser or terminal as it works, and pause, resume or stop tasks with drafts kept intact.
Check before committing
- The README frames the product as alpha for self-hosting and building on, so behaviour and setup may change.
- Open-ended reasoning, live Google accounts and CopilotKit Rich Threads require their own configuration, according to the README.
- The demo recordings are framed as current-interface samples with scripted decisions in one case, not measured user results.
