Give each bot a job and work with it in a familiar chat interface. MausBot brings your supported AI agents together on your computer, with tools and routines for getting work done. Free and open source under Apache 2.0. Bring your own provider account or API key; provider fees and limits apply.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I’m Omkar, building MausBot with Milind and our open-source contributors.
MausBot is a free, open-source Grokbot alternative: your own team of AI bots, in a chat app.
We open-sourced MausBot about two hours after Grokbot officially launched. We were already building something similar, and seeing the launch gave us the push to share our work, make it open source, and keep building with the community.
The idea behind MausBot is simple: your own team of AI bots, in a chat app. Give each bot a job, choose its model, and keep its conversations and work together.
With MausBot, you can:
- Run bots in parallel for research, writing, and coding. - Use Claude, Codex, and other supported engines in one app. - Connect tools like GitHub, Gmail, and Slack. - Let bots work on your Mac or a connected cloud desktop, with permissions and approval settings you control.
For example, ask one bot to turn customer feedback into a prioritized engineering brief, then ask another to investigate a reported bug in your repository. Review their work and decide what happens next.
We’re continuing to build toward that experience, with the code open for anyone to inspect, modify, and contribute to.
The app is free and open source under Apache 2.0. Bring a supported AI account or API key; provider fees and limits apply. Paid cloud hosting is optional.
What’s the first job you’d give your bots? We’d especially love feedback on setup, your first useful task, and what you think we should build next.

Who hunted MausBot?
MausBot was hunted by Omkar Satpute. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
