OpenBot 0.47.1 ships team controls

OpenBot is rapidly evolving from an agent playground into governed infrastructure for shared AI work. Its broad provider support is compelling, but the development-preview security model still demands careful deployment.

• –Role-based access gives teams granular control over which agents members can view, chat with, or manage.
• –Hermes imports lower migration costs by preserving agent personas, memories, skills, and scheduled jobs without copying credentials.
• –Built-in MCP setup and testing makes integrations easier while keeping approval and secret-management boundaries visible.
• –Local dictation keeps voice processing on-device, though the 685 MB Bark model is English-only and produces lightly punctuated text.
• –Developers should treat OpenBot as powerful local automation infrastructure: agents can access files, run commands, use networks, and control browsers without repeated confirmations.
