Akeru Bot hands busywork to open-source AI teammates
Akeru Bot is a free, MIT-licensed desktop app that lets users assign plain-language tasks to AI teammates and keep the data on their own machine.
Field notes
Akeru presents a local desktop workflow in which users assign projects to multiple AI teammates through plain-language messages, then approve work when the agents return. The examples range from product-feedback triage and CRM maintenance to expense filing and candidate scheduling. The app is described as MIT licensed, forkable, and compatible with subscriptions users already pay for; a separate cloud layer is marked as coming soon.
