OpenWorker launches open-source autonomous desktop agent
OpenWorker is an open-source, local-first autonomous desktop co-worker that operates across local documents, terminal commands, and over 25 third-party integrations. Built to execute end-to-end workflows such as file generation and application updates, OpenWorker supports scheduled recurring background jobs while enforcing explicit human approval for high-consequence actions.
