What it does

OpenPilot is an open-source AI agent for your desktop. Bring your own OpenAI-compatible LLM, create files, run terminals, search the web, and ship projects—no vendor lock-in. Download for Windows.

No vendor login. No locked-in models. Point OpenPilot at any OpenAI-compatible API, then let the agent create files, run terminals, search the live web, and ship full projects. OpenPilot is a local AI harness: filesystem tools, a live shell, web research, MCP, skills, and memory—wired to the model you choose. New here? Read the guide or skim the FAQ . The agent reads, writes, edits, greps, and globs across your workspace. Ask for a full project and watch the file tree fill in—then refine with follow-ups. Install deps, start servers, run tests, and stream stdout back into the chat. The shell is a first-class tool—not a pretend snippet. When docs, APIs, or errors live outside the repo,…from openpilot.in
