Autopilot is the primary product in this repo: a local-first desktop agent that plans → executes → verifies → produces replayable artifacts. It runs on your machine, works in your repo, and keeps the full trace of what happened.
OpenAgents also contains the broader runtime/compiler/market stack used by Autopilot. If you're looking for the philosophy / "why open", start with MANIFESTO.md.
git clone https://github.com/OpenAgentsInc/openagents.git
cd openagents
cargo run -p autopilot-desktopFor release builds, see apps/autopilot-desktop/docs/migration/EFFUSE_TO_WGPUI_PLAN.md.
Autopilot is designed to be:
- Local-first: runs against your repo on your machine by default
- Verifiable: uses deterministic checks (tests/builds) as the ground-truth loop
- Inspectable: emits structured session logs and artifacts for replay/debug/audit
- Optimizable: uses DSPy-style signatures/modules/optimizers to improve policies over time
- Immediate-mode UI: WGPUI render tree with Zed-inspired layout patterns
Autopilot is built to sell predictable autonomy — not “AI,” not “tokens,” but a contracted outcome over time:
- Scope: “Do X”
- Horizon: “over the next 24–48 hours”
- Constraints: budget, privacy, repo boundaries, allowed tools
- Verification: objective checks (tests pass, PR merged, receipts emitted)
- Reliability: known failure modes + escalation (“pause + ask human”)
Composability makes this sellable: signatures/modules have stable I/O contracts, emit receipts and utility labels, and can be optimized and A/B tested. That is how Autopilot turns vibes into predictability.
