Writes and executes code, browses the web, and controls desktop apps through screenshot-based OS mode.
Open Interpreter is a developer-oriented agent. It writes and executes code, browses the web, and controls desktop applications through a screenshot-based OS mode that has been in development since 2023.
The tool is model-agnostic: it works with OpenAI, Anthropic, and local models. The same task can be tried against the same agent loop with a different brain, which makes Open Interpreter a useful baseline for comparing how different models behave at the same workload.
It ships on macOS, Windows, and Linux. The codebase is open source and well-documented, which makes it the closest thing in this space to a transparent reference implementation. Use is more programmer-oriented than the polished consumer products.
