OpenBot

Took @OpenBot_ for a spin today 👀 Instead of giving it a random prompt, I wanted to see how useful an AI agent could be for an everyday task. I tried a fashion-shopping task involving different clothing websites. What I liked was seeing the agent work through the request and put together a structured response rather than just giving a generic answer. Still curious how reliably it handles more complicated tasks, but I can see the potential here. Anyone else testing AI agents for everyday work?

i explored the idea behind @OpenBot_, and i like the simplicity of creating an AI agent with a single prompt and giving it a specific task. i can see it being useful for research, organizing information, and handling repetitive tasks without doing everything manually. one thing i’d improve is the onboarding experience. adding ready made agent examples would help beginners get started faster. the real test is how reliably it completes tasks and how much guidance it needs along the way. looking forward to seeing how it performs on everyday workflows. 🔗 openbot.run

I tried @OpenBot_ by asking it to create a simple daily to-do list. It kept responding with "Mock reply from Chief" but never actually completed the task. I'd love to see it properly execute requests and make the whole experience smoother and more reliable for beginners.

2 devices, 1 working @OpenBot_ agent. Honest test. Phone app: picked a name and a purple avatar, hit save. "The mobile transport is not ready." Desktop app: this is the one that works. Installed it, the agent said hi. My task: "Name 3 free AI tools for making short videos. One line each." 10 seconds later: Runway, Pika, Luma Dream Machine. All 3 real, all 3 have a free tier. No made-up tools. The plans in the app are cloud ones: Starter, Standard, Pro. I didn't need any of them. It ran on the free OpenCode model, I paid nothing. Good answer, bumpy start. If you try it, skip the phone app and go straight to the desktop one.

I tried creating an AI agent with a simple prompt and giving it a basic task. The setup idea is cool, but my test didn't go as planned: instead of actually completing the task, it returned "Mock reply from Chief" My honest take: the one-prompt approach has potential, but task execution needs to be more reliable. Clearer onboarding and working examples would also make it easier for beginners to get started. Interesting concept, but there's still work to do before it becomes a dependable everyday tool @OpenBot_.

I explored @OpenBot_ on Android, signed up with my email, and tried creating an AI agent. The setup screen appeared, but I got stuck and couldn't proceed. Could this be a bug? I'd love to see smoother onboarding and better mobile support for new users.

most ai agents are a single-player game. @OpenBot_ puts agents and coworkers in one workspace: same conversations, same files. the loop is simple: create an agent, give it a job, and it keeps working in its own workspace and context. it’s free, open-source, connects to codex, claude and grok. it runs locally, so you can leave it on a mac mini and reach your agents remotely. the idea is strong. the first mile on mobile isn’t there yet. onboarding on android and iOS was poor but far smoother on pc. fix that front door and a team of agents gets easy to start.

Tried @OpenBot_ and set up a Research agent to handle a simple Web3 research task. The frustrating part? It returned “Mock reply” twice instead of doing the actual work.Interesting concept,but I still need to get the agent executing tasks properly.

I gave @OpenBot_ an actual task instead of just chatting to see what happens Setup is straightforward: connect a model, define your agent, give it something to work on. I started with a simple research task What stood out is it doesn't just say it understands, it actually executes and returns a result you can check. No need to babysit the prompt That's the difference between sounding useful and being useful. In my test, @OpenBot_ held up on the execution part

I tried setting up a Web3 research assistant with @OpenBot_ , but ran into a limitation on mobile. The downloaded app showed “mobile transport is not ready.” I then tried the website, but instead of researching anything, the agent simply repeated the instructions I had given it. I couldn’t complete the task, so I can’t honestly judge how well the agent performs. A clearer mobile setup process and guidance on connecting the required environment would make the first experience less confusing. openbot.run

I wanted to see how @OpenBot_ handles a real task, so I put it to work on a research assignment. Getting started was pretty straightforward, connect a model, configure the agent and give it a task. What caught my attention was the ability to move from instructions to actual execution and return something I could review, rather than just generating a response that sounds convincing. For me, that's what makes the difference. An AI agent becomes more valuable when it can take work off your hands not just tell you how it would do it. OpenBot did a solid job on that front in my test.

I explored @OpenBot_ to see how easy it is to create an AI agent and put it to work. The one-prompt approach is interesting, but setup and task execution still need improvement. My take: OpenBot has potential, but smoother onboarding and more reliable results would make it a more useful everyday tool.

@OpenBot_ This demo is a bit confusing. I sent a normal prompt about creating a file and it just replied with “Mock reply from Chief: I received your message and added it to the working context.” Same thing when I said “do now.” If this is what most new people see first, they won’t really understand what the agents can do. A more realistic reply here would help a lot before someone decides to download the app.

Tried setting up an agent on @OpenBot_ today, but I hit a “mobile transport is not ready” error Still, I like the idea behind it. Being able to create different agents with their own context and have them hand tasks over to each other could be useful for more complex workflows. I wanted to see how it would handle something simple like planning a trip, so it was a bit disappointing not to get that far. I’m curious to try again once the mobile issue is sorted. https://openbot.run
