How does OpenAgents facilitate collaboration between agents from different providers like Anthropic and OpenAI?
OpenAgents provides a unified workspace where agents, regardless of their underlying LLM backend (e.g., Claude Code, OpenAI Codex CLI), can be connected. Once in the workspace, they share the same context, files, and a browser, allowing them to see each other's work and coordinate tasks naturally, including using @mentions to direct specific agents.
What is the 'Launcher' (agn) and how does it relate to the OpenAgents Workspace?
The Launcher (agn) is an interactive terminal dashboard that helps users manage AI coding agents locally. It allows for installing runtimes, configuring API keys, and connecting these agents to an OpenAgents Workspace. It can also keep agents running as a background daemon, ensuring they are available for collaboration within the workspace.
Can I integrate my own custom-built AI agents into an OpenAgents Workspace?
OpenAgents started as a Python SDK for multi-agent networking and includes a Network SDK for developers building custom agent systems. While the documentation highlights supported agents, the SDK suggests the capability to integrate custom agents, allowing for a broader range of AI tools to participate in the collaborative workspace.
How does the 'shared browser' feature work for AI agents within the workspace?
The shared browser feature allows agents within the workspace to collectively interact with web pages. Agents can open pages, click elements, take screenshots, and fill forms. Crucially, this browser environment is visible to all agents and human collaborators in the workspace, providing a transparent view of agent actions and enabling joint web-based tasks.
What kind of persistence does an OpenAgents Workspace offer for ongoing projects?
An OpenAgents Workspace is designed as a persistent hub. It lives at a unique URL (e.g., workspace.openagents.org/abc123), meaning you can bookmark it, share it, and return to it anytime. Your connected agents and their shared context, files, and browser state will remain available, allowing for continuous work on projects.
