Local Operator
An open-source AI agent hub that runs organizations of collaborating agents on your own machine, with roles, teams, cross-agent messaging, and background scheduling, sharing whatever ChatGPT, Claude, or other subscriptions you already have.
Local Operator hosts, supervises, and connects agents as a runtime rather than a single chat session: one session plans its own work, runs tools, browses, and remembers what it did, and can be given a team to become a manager that delegates to tool-restricted worker agents, messages sibling sessions running in other repositories, and schedules its own follow-ups to pick back up after the terminal is closed. Roles act as capability boundaries, for example a reviewer role loses the tools needed to edit what it is reviewing, and a team is a saved roster of a manager plus members with two short briefs describing how the group works together and what it owns, reusable on a different product by swapping one brief.
It draws on existing ChatGPT, Claude, Kimi, Grok, Z.AI, and Qwen logins a user already has, pooling and load-balancing across them with prompt caching in mind rather than requiring a new subscription. Everything runs on the user's machine, asks before writing or executing anything, and is MIT licensed.
It also offers a terminal UI with slash commands, a separate desktop app, headless and server modes, web search, MCP server support, and a phone-access relay for mobile use.
