OpenBot: free desktop AI-agent workspace for non-commercial use

The offer

Adults in India can download OpenBot free for macOS 13+, Windows 10+ or 64-bit Linux to run persistent AI teammates using their own model or provider plan. The current v0.49.0 release uses PolyForm Noncommercial 1.0.0, not an open-source licence: commercial use requires a separate licence, and your hardware, model subscriptions, API usage and optional hosting cost extra. This development preview lets agents change files and run commands without per-action approval; cloud providers receive task data, and usage analytics are on by default but can be disabled in Settings → General → Permissions → Share product analytics.

Who can claim it

• Age 18 or older; the official privacy policy states worldwide availability, including India.
• Free licence covers non-commercial purposes; commercial use requires a separate licence.
• Use macOS 13+ on Apple silicon or Intel, Windows 10+ on x64, or 64-bit Linux on x64 or arm64.
• Supply compatible hardware and a supported AI provider plan, API key or local model.

How to claim it

1. Open the official download page and choose the installer for your operating system and processor.
2. Install and open OpenBot; Linux users should follow the linked AppImage and sandbox setup instructions.
3. Connect a supported AI provider or a local model.
4. Describe the agent you want, review its instructions and save it before sending tasks.
5. To disable desktop usage analytics, open Settings → General → Permissions and turn off Share product analytics.

Good to know

This is ongoing free non-commercial software, not a timed paid-plan trial. AI provider charges, hardware and optional hosted services remain separate; commercial use needs a separate licence.

Source-available under PolyForm Noncommercial 1.0.0, not OSI open source. Agents can read/change files, run commands and use the browser without asking each time; keep backups. Task data can reach chosen AI providers. Default analytics includes usage metadata and visited website domains; account-service events are independent of the desktop opt-out. No paid AI subscription or hosted inference credits are included.
