Keep the workspace with you.
Run on your Mac, Linux computer or a prepared Linux VM. Choose the host, storage, network access and backups. BotHearth does not require its own hosted agent account.
Meet BotHearth
An agent with its own computer.
The computer is yours.
Give BotHearth a task. It opens its own browser, works through the steps, and saves the result on your machine — while you watch. When a site needs a real person, you take the keyboard.
- No vendor quota, no vendor VM. BotHearth runs on your Mac or Linux machine. It signs in to the Codex or Claude Code account on your plan. No BotHearth account to create, and no BotHearth quota to hit. Your own plan is the only ceiling. Codex is verified live. Claude Code is listed, not yet verified live.
- It stops for you, not at you. It pauses when a site needs a password, one-time code, passkey, CAPTCHA, or card entry. BotHearth then hands you control. The model is frozen while you type and cannot see the screen. Turn on Settings → Ask before sensitive actions for extra checks before sending, uploading, deleting, paying, or new sites. Those checks stay off until you enable them.
- Long work survives. Our recorded inbox test ran 51 minutes across two runs. It paused partway and picked the work back up. It created 18 filters, archived 21 conversations, and saved one report. Observed result, not a guarantee. See the recorded run and its timings.
Build from source on Mac or Linux with Docker. About 15–40 minutes. Source-available under PolyForm Noncommercial — not open source. Alpha, single operator. One business bot free, permanently. Model access and hosting are separate. The agent browses in its own containerised Chromium; it never touches your browser or your logins.

You control
The computer stays with you.
The model still sees the task.
Remote models still receive the task context you send.
| You control | In this alpha |
|---|---|
| Machine | Daemon on your Mac, Linux host, or a VM you operate. Browser, shell, and proxy containers. No BotHearth-hosted agent account. Laptop sleep stops local work. |
| Model account | Native: Codex (verified live) or Claude Code (listed; not yet verified live). API adapters and local endpoints are configured in YAML. BotHearth does not sell tokens. |
| Data location | Workspace, task records, audit chain, and browser profile on this computer’s volume. A fresh computer starts clean. |
| Review prompts | Off by default. Optional Settings toggle Ask before sensitive actions reviews detected sends, uploads, deletes, checkout steps, and new-site form submits taken through BotHearth’s browser tools. Expand Sensitive actions to choose which gates fire and to set API-adapter max tool calls and spend cap (0 = no limit); native Codex and Claude Code tasks have no BotHearth cap. Native CLI shell and network tools bypass those checks. Detection is incomplete. |
| Credentials / takeover | Password, OTP, passkey, CAPTCHA and payment-card fields pause for Take control. Checkout steps without a card field are optional review prompts. You type; the model is frozen and capture is blocked. Take control requests full screen; Esc leaves full screen without returning control. Passkeys generally fail inside the container browser. |
| Stopping | Stop ends the task. bothearth stop stops the daemon. There is no BotHearth quota. A task runs until it’s done, until you stop it, or until your own model plan hits its limit. Then it pauses and can resume. Closing the window is not Stop. |
| Network | Default: public web via the egress proxy. Strict mode restricts destinations. Policy is best-effort, not a firewall. |

Choose where it runs.
Stay involved in what it does.
Your host stores the primary workspace, task records and browser profiles. Remote models still receive the context you submit. Know the boundary before handing over a task. The agent browses in its own Chromium inside a container. It never touches your browser or your saved logins.
Connect Codex or Claude Code.
Codex is verified live. Claude Code is listed, not yet verified live. API adapters and local endpoints are a separate YAML path. Provider terms, processing and charges still apply; self-hosting is not a promise of zero data egress.
Watch, take over, optionally review.
See the browser. Take control when a site needs you. Enable optional review prompts in Settings for detected BotHearth-tool actions. Pause or stop work.

BOTHEARTH AT WORK Actual product capture
What will you ask it to do?
Live websites.
A computer for the work.
A topic to research, current options to compare, or a website to improve. Give it the pages and say what you want back.
RESEARCH A TOPIC
Get up to speed.
“Read these pages about a topic I’m learning. Make me a brief with the key points and sources.”
A brief you can come back to COMPARE YOUR OPTIONSSee them side by side.
“Compare the options on these pages. Pull out the differences and anything I should check.”
A comparison to help you choose AUDIT YOUR WEBSITESee what visitors miss.
“Browse my website. Find the questions it leaves unanswered and suggest the five best fixes.”
An audit with page links and concrete changesA task, from start to finish
You give it the task.
It works through the steps.
BotHearth puts the request, the agent’s actions, and its saved files in one place. Here is a small task you can try yourself.

Review the saved audit against your live pages and product before publishing any change.
See its computer.
Follow the live browser beside a feed of what the agent opens, reads, and saves. Check where it is headed as the task unfolds.
Take the controls.
Enable optional review prompts in Settings. When a site needs your sign-in, take control yourself (full screen; Esc leaves it), then give it back to continue.
Open what it made.
When a task saves a file, open it from the result view. Read the summary, inspect the source, or check the numbers before using them.
