What OpenBook does
OpenBook is a web-native AI agent runtime. It handles the conversation loop, tool use, context management, and UI — so you can focus on what the agent does, not how to run it.
- Multi-turn conversation with memory across sessions
- Tool use — connect to APIs, file systems, databases
- Web search and document reading built in
- Streamed responses — no waiting for full output
- Built-in support for multiple AI providers
- Extensible via plugins — add your own tools
Add governance when you're ready
OpenBook and the Bookbag governance platform are designed to work together. Run OpenBook alone for development and prototyping. Add the SDK when you ship to production and need guardrails, audit trails, and compliance evidence.
- Web-native agent runtime
- Self-hostable with Docker
- Tool use + multi-turn memory
- MIT licensed
- Everything in OpenBook
