CopilotKit has released OpenBot 1.0, an MIT-licensed AI coworker workspace that can be self-hosted. The product lets companies bring their own agents, models and infrastructure.

CopilotKit describes OpenBot 1.0 as a self-hostable AI coworker workspace released under the MIT license. Companies can bring their own agents, models and infrastructure to the workspace.

According to the announcement, every action taken by a Bot passes a policy check before it runs. Each of those actions is also recorded in an audit trail.

## Why it matters if you build agents

Teams that want to run their own agents and models in a shared workspace can self-host OpenBot under an MIT license. Developers should check how its policy checks are configured before relying on them for agent actions.

Because each Bot action is logged to an audit trail, agents built on the platform leave a record that teams can review.
