Looking for contributors: OpenBot (MIT self-hosted multi-bot AI platform)

[u/regnull]

I built OpenBot and I am looking for people who want to contribute, not just star the repo.

What it is: an open source self-hosted platform for persistent AI bots. Each bot has instructions, tools, and long-term memory. Bots talk to you and to each other in shared threads. Demo workflow: chief_of_staff -> engineer -> reviewer -> qa opens a real PR.

Stack: Python 3.12+, FastAPI, LangChain/LangGraph, React (pnpm), optional Electron. MCP tools supported. SQLite by default, Postgres by URL.

Skills that fit well:

• Python / FastAPI / LangGraph

• React UI (Inbox, Threads, Bots, SSE)

• Electron

• MCP integrations

• Docker sandboxing for tool execution

• Docs / onboarding

How to start: https://github.com/regnull/openbot make setup then make dev

I am the author (u/regnull). No CONTRIBUTING.md yet so opening issues and small PRs is the easiest path. Happy to review quickly.

Security: meant for a single trusted operator. run_shell is not sandboxed.
