What is MausBot?
Your own team of AI bots, in a chat app.
MausBot is a free, open-source chat app where every contact is an AI bot with its own model, computer, and apps. Give each bot a job, choose its model, and keep its conversations and work together. Bots run in parallel for research, writing, and coding, using the Claude, Codex, and Grok CLIs already installed on your machine with your existing logins, or NVIDIA NIM cloud models with your own API key. A small local harness server owns every agent process, and transcripts, keys, and events stay on your own disk. Bots can connect to Gmail, Slack, GitHub, Notion, Linear, and hundreds more apps, run scheduled routines, and ask for approval before acting. The desktop app is free under Apache 2.0; optional Cloud hosting costs extra.

Common questions
MausBot FAQs
What do I pay for?
The desktop and companion apps are free and open source under Apache 2.0. You bring your own provider account or API key, so your provider's pricing and limits apply, and optional Cloud hosting costs extra.
Do I need to connect apps or a cloud computer?
No. You can start by chatting with a bot using one connected provider. Connect an app or enable computer access only when a task needs it.
Which platforms can I use?
Desktop downloads cover macOS (Apple silicon and Intel), 64-bit Windows, and x86-64 Linux, with Android and iOS companion apps. The desktop app is available in 10 languages.
When does a bot ask for approval?
Access depends on the engine, working folder, connected apps, and computer permissions you enable. Supported actions can show approval requests in chat, so review each request before allowing it.
