Frequently Asked Questions ​

What is Open Cowork? ​

Open Cowork is a free, open-source AI agent desktop application for Windows and macOS. It wraps AI models (Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, etc.) into a user-friendly GUI with one-click installation — no terminal or coding knowledge required.

What AI models are supported? ​

Claude (via Anthropic or OpenRouter), OpenAI-compatible APIs, and Chinese models including GLM (Zhipu AI), MiniMax, and Kimi. Any provider offering an OpenAI-compatible API endpoint can be configured.

Is it free? ​

Yes. Open Cowork is completely free and open-source under the MIT license. You only pay for AI model API usage from your chosen provider.

How does sandbox isolation work? ​

Open Cowork uses WSL2 (Windows) or Lima (macOS) to run all AI-executed commands inside an isolated Linux VM. Even if the AI makes a mistake, your host system files remain protected.

Is my data safe? ​

Open Cowork runs entirely on your local machine. The only external communication is with the AI model API you configure. No data is sent to Open Cowork servers.

Does it work on Linux? ​

Pre-built installers are available for Windows and macOS. Linux users can build from source — see the GitHub repository for instructions.
