What is OpenGUI?
OpenGUI is a desktop and web coding agent built on its own Host and Harness. The Host owns projects, model connections, sessions and transcript history, and the Harness exposes read, write, edit and shell tools. It needs no external coding-agent CLI.
Pros
- Works with any OpenAI-compatible model endpoint
- Durable sessions and transcript history
- MIT licensed
Cons
- You supply a model endpoint and API key
- Requires a Node.js and pnpm setup to run from source
