The platform

Everything in one open-source platform

A visual canvas that's genuinely agentic — agents call their own tools while the engine orchestrates branching, recovery, state, and human approvals around them.

The engine

A workflow engine that does the hard parts

OpenBook's executor walks a graph and actually branches, recovers, pauses, and carries state — the things most AI-workflow tools only pretend to do.

Conditional branching

Run only the matching branch; prune the rest.

Error paths

Route a failed node to recovery, not a dead run.

Variables

set_variable writes ${vars.x} for everything downstream.

Triggers

Manual, schedule, webhook, channel, and events.

AI builder

Describe it; the AI builds the graph

The builder inventories your actions, creates the agents the workflow needs, wires the nodes with correct data-piping, self-verifies, and returns a readiness checklist.

Plan → provision → verify

A pipeline, not a one-shot prompt.

Creates agents

Provisions the agents a workflow needs, with tools.

Tunable

Pick the builder's model and system prompt in settings.

Self-verifying

Static checks + up to two repair rounds.

Agents & memory

Agents that remember, on the models you choose

Multi-model agents run their own plan→act→observe loop and remember across runs by default — long-term memory is core, no plugin to install.

Core memory

memory_* tools on every agent by default.

Actions & Skills

One shared pool of capabilities to draw from.

Human-in-the-loop

Pause for approval/input/choice; resume on decision.

Multi-model

Anthropic, OpenAI, or local — per agent.

Plugins & actions

An open ecosystem, plus any API

Install plugins for email, channels, images, and RAG — or call any REST API with the generic HTTP action's auth, retries, pagination, secret store, and SSRF guard.

Plugin model

Actions, providers, channels, and UI.

HTTP action

http.request for any REST API, safely.

Self-hosted

Your infra, your data, your keys. MIT.

Extensible

Write a plugin: manifest + handlers.
