  "why_included": "OpenBot gives coding agents persistent local workspaces, queues, browser control, and shared delegation. Its preview runs agents with full file, command, network, and browser access after first-launch consent.",
  "summary": "OpenBot supports Codex, Claude, Grok, OpenCode, Gemini, Cursor, and Cline, with independent workspaces, persistent queues, context monitoring, and agent-to-agent collaboration. Agents currently run with **danger-full-access** and **approvalPolicy: never** after explicit first-launch consent.\nFor builders coordinating multiple coding agents, it offers a desktop workspace with task ownership, delegation, shared history, and pause or reassign controls. Treat each agent as having broad access to its workspace and machine capabilities.\nOpenBot is a development preview and local-first, not offline-only: providers and visited pages use the network. Computer Use is optional, and remote desktop has platform limits, including no Wayland support on Linux.",

    "meaning": "OpenBot packages persistent, multi-agent coordination in a local-first desktop workspace, but its agents currently receive broad machine access after first-launch consent. That makes task visibility and pause or reassignment useful controls for coordination, not substitutes for per-agent isolation; network use also means local-first does not mean offline.",
