From 19749b741a9055624af882dc71bb46e271b086e3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David McKay Date: Wed, 19 Aug 2026 08:41:37 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Lead with what is scarce, not with the mechanism The opening line began "Give an agent a computer of its own" and then listed parts. It read as a how-to rather than a claim, and it was weaker than both the GitHub About and the paragraph six lines below it, which is a bad trade for the first thing a stranger reads. Everyone has agents now. What is scarce is one you would give real credentials to, so the line says that first and spends the rest on why it is safe. The paragraph underneath opened with the same teammate-and-own-computer framing and repeated it almost verbatim. It now carries what the opening cannot: bring any agent, watch it, take the wheel, components, your own machine. --- README.md | 12 ++++++------ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index d48ddb55..c2005c19 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -2,7 +2,7 @@ # OpenBot -**Give an agent a computer of its own: a browser, a filesystem and the tools you grant it, with every action decided before it happens and recorded after.** +**AI teammates you can hand real work to, and actually trust with the access.** Each gets a computer of its own: a real browser with its own logins, its own files, and only the tools you grant.

-Bots are teammates you hand real work to. They sign in to apps and websites and -use them the way you do, on a computer that stays theirs between sessions. Name -one, give it a role, grant it access as it earns it, and talk to it in a -channel. Bring any AG-UI agent, run the whole thing on your own machine, and -keep the boundaries where they belong. +Bring any AG-UI agent, written on a framework or by hand, and it arrives as a +teammate with a channel of its own. Watch it work on its own screen, take the +wheel when it reaches something it should not do alone, then hand it back. It +answers with components rather than only prose, and the whole thing runs on +your own machine.
