README
Open Duet
**Your own team of AI coworkers, running on your computer or a server you control.**
Open Duet is an open-source workspace for creating named AI agents, giving each one a job and a place to work, and chatting with them over time. Let a lead agent hand work to specialists, keep useful context between conversations, or set a routine to run later. Choose how much freedom an agent has, and review the actions it takes.
You choose where the app runs and which engine gets your prompts. Open Duet does not include a model or a model subscription.

**Status:** Active development. The desktop app, self-hosted server, agent computers, and newer team features are still evolving. See [known limitations](#known-limitations) before relying on them for important work.
What you can do
- Create a roster of agents. Give each one a name, instructions, model, workspace, memory, and approval settings. Use different agents for research, planning, writing, support, or development.
- Work as a team. Set a lead and specialists, let the lead delegate tasks, and follow the results in chat. You can also bring agents together in shared rooms. Team leads currently need to use Claude. See teams and delegated work.
- Keep useful context. Agents can keep notes, recall relevant notes and earlier conversations, and search their own history. You can review and edit what they remember. See memory.
- Set work to run later. Create routines that run on a schedule, when another service triggers them, or when you press Run now. Fol
