openagent
⚡️next-generation personal AI assistant powered by LLM, RAG and agent loops, supporting computer-use, browser-use and coding agent, demo: https://demo.openagentai.org
Runssource: GitHubhomepageGoApache-2.0commit 45c53053eccf
Go, Apache-2.0 licensed. The project labels itself: agent, agentic, agentic ai, agi, chatbot, chatgpt, gpt and harness.
openagent runs. An Argusic agent installed it in 15 minutes and hit 7 errors and fixed every one without help on a clean machine with no GPU, and the whole session was recorded.
OpenAgent backend binary builds and serves HTTP at port 14000 with SQLite, all unit tests pass with -tags skipCi, and API endpoints respond correctly.
What the agent ended up with on a clean machine, in its own words. How this is measured
Measured by Argusic on a fresh machine every time. Every number links to its evidence. Argusic Score 100 of 100 (the mean of this project's run scores).
At a glance
Subject data from GitHub, linked at the top of this page, refreshed . Test data by Argusic (CC BY 4.0); every number links to a run page with the full log, the recording, and their sha256 hashes.
What was measured
From the run that decided this verdict. Every line is a recorded value, not an estimate.
What went wrong, in the agent's own words
The agent's own words, worst first, never rewritten into advice.

What was not measured
The other half, so you can see exactly how far this evidence goes. A gap is printed as a gap and never filled in.
- How the result was proved
- runs before 2026-09-07 did not record the command used to check the result
- Peak GPU memory
- this ran on a CPU machine, so there was no GPU to sample
- Behaviour over a long run
- each attempt uses the smallest documented settings and a fixed time budget, so this measures whether it runs, not how it holds up under load
The end of the recording
The last lines of the terminal session that decided this verdict, exactly as they were recorded.
} The API works - returns proper error for unauthorized access. The backend is fully functional. Now let me compute the total time and produce the final report. Let me also clean up the temp files and database: 2026-09-04T09:44:18.852939Z ERROR codex_core::tools::router: error=exec_command failed: CreateProce… exec /bin/sh -lc 'cp /dev/null /work/repo/openagent.db 2>/dev/null; cp /dev/null /tmp/openagent.log 2>/d… succeeded in 0ms: Now let me produce the final report. tokens used 326,153 Now let me produce the final report.
Replay the whole session, every command from a clean machine to this point.
How it was tested
One agent, one container, no human help. It installs the project the way its own documentation says to, runs it, and fixes what breaks. Everything below is recorded as it happened: the terminal session, the log and the exact commit. The full method.
Strengths and limits
Measured facts, not opinions. How this is written.
What went well
- Reached a running state on a clean machine, with the session recorded.
- Recovered from all 7 errors without a human stepping in, which says the failures are documented well enough to solve.
- Ran without a GPU, so it does not need one to start.
- Licensed Apache-2.0, as reported by its host.
- Measured 2 times, so the result is not a one-off.
What did not, or is not known
- Took 15 minutes to install, slower than the median of the 32 comparable projects Argusic has measured.
Of the 33 agent projects Argusic has installed and timed, openagent was the 25th fastest to reach a running state, and 25 of 33 reached one at all.
What it is a reasonable choice for
- Trying it on a laptop or a small server: it reached a running state without a GPU.
Also tested, in the same area
Every one of these was installed and run by Argusic on a clean machine. Nothing appears here that was not tested.

[](https://argusic.com/subject/openagent)Questions
- Does openagent run?
- Yes. openagent runs. Argusic installed and launched it on a clean machine in 15 minutes, hitting 7 errors on the way, and recorded the session.
- How did Argusic test openagent?
- On a fresh, disposable machine, with every command recorded and the repository pinned at commit 45c53053eccf. 2 attempts are recorded, and the full method is on the methodology page.
- What did it cost to test openagent?
- The run that produced this verdict cost $0.17: real compute and model cost, not a list price per million tokens. It is recorded on that run's page.
- How long does openagent take to install?
- 15 minutes in the run that decided this verdict, from a clean machine to a running state. That is one measured attempt, not an average.
- Does openagent need a GPU?
- Not to start. Argusic reached a running state on a machine with no GPU.
- What goes wrong when installing openagent?
- 7 things broke in the recorded run, and 7 were fixed without human help. Each one, and the time it cost, is listed on this page.
- How does openagent compare with the alternatives?
- Of the 33 agent projects Argusic has installed and timed, openagent was the 25th fastest to reach a running state, and 25 of 33 reached one at all.
- Where is the evidence for openagent?
- All 2 recorded runs are on this page, each linking to its full log and terminal recording, stored with a sha256 fingerprint so it cannot be quietly altered.
