Open Dots: Open-Source Alternative to Paid AI Agents

**Open Dots is an open-source, self-hosted alternative for people exploring paid AI agent products such as OpenAI Dots, Meta Muse, Grok Bot, Instinct, Manus Cue, Claude Cowork, and ChatGPT agent.** The current prototype focuses on coding-agent workflows: run Claude Code tasks from Telegram or the web, review risky actions, connect GitHub, and schedule recurring prompts. Its features differ from those services; it is not a feature-for-feature replacement.

Both interfaces use the same API, sandbox, and credentials for each user.
