A clear view of the work
From “can you…”
to something you can check.
Start a task in plain language. Follow the activity feed beside its live browser. Inspect the result before you rely on it.
THE TASK WORKSPACE Actual development build
Step in when it matters.
Review new destinations and detected sensitive actions. During human control, model capture is blocked. Approval detection has limits; stay present for sensitive work.
Keep the work in view.
Follow task steps, review requests, and open saved outputs. Task allowances can pause work. Your provider's own limits and charges still apply.
Bring a little curiosity
A small task.
A good place to start.
Start with a public page, no credentials, and a result you can verify. These recipes explain what to ask and how to check the work.

BotHearth is free for the noncommercial purposes permitted by the PolyForm Noncommercial 1.0.0 licence. Read the code, build it, and adapt it within those terms.
You provide the computer and an eligible model account. Provider usage, a container runtime, electricity, or a rented server may cost money. This release includes no commercial-use grant.
It is an alpha: source installation, one operator, macOS and Linux. Model errors, prompt injection, and website automation restrictions remain real limitations.
