OpenBot 0.42.0 Ships New Agent Workspace
OpenBot shipped versions 0.41.0 and 0.42.0, adding concurrent agent tasks alongside a redesigned page rail for Agents, Routines, Schedule, Usage, Marketplace, and Settings. The local-first workspace now makes multi-agent work easier to organize across desktop and web. [Changelog](https://openbot.run/changelog#v0-42-0)
// ANALYSIS
OpenBot’s redesign signals a shift from “chat with bots” toward managing an operational team of persistent agents.
- –Version 0.41.0 lets agents run up to four tasks concurrently, each with its own conversation, progress state, browser tabs, and result.
- –Version 0.42.0 consolidates navigation into a page rail, reducing sidebar overload as agents, routines, usage, and settings multiply.
- –The side panel’s Browser, Files, Tasks, and Agent settings tabs should make long-running developer workflows easier to monitor.
- –Support for Codex, Claude, Grok, OpenCode, Gemini, Cursor, Cline, and local model servers strengthens OpenBot’s multi-provider positioning.
- –The development-preview status and unrestricted agent execution remain important caveats for teams handling sensitive code. [GitHub](https://github.com/nightly-labs/openbot)
