CopilotKit releases OpenBot 1.0, an MIT-licensed self-hostable AI coworker with built-in governance

CopilotKit released OpenBot 1.0 on November 9, an MIT-licensed, self-hostable agent workspace where teams bring their own models, agents and infrastructure. Every browser click, file write, MCP tool call and component passes through a governance gateway that evaluates a CEL policy and writes the audit row before acting, with deny rules running first and broken rules failing closed. The release adds Mac and Windows desktop apps, a Learning feature that turns a recorded task into a reusable skill, multi-account support through Composio and Arcade, and Bot-to-Bot orchestration; personal use is free and OpenBot for Business costs up to $29 per active user per month.
