Your AI Assistant That Controls Your Desktop

Tell OpenOwl what you want done. It sees your screen, clicks, types, and completes tasks across any app or browser - like having a smart assistant sitting at your computer.

How It Works

Three simple steps. No coding required.

1. Add Your Project

   Install OpenOwl with one command and connect it to your AI assistant (Claude, Codex, or any MCP-compatible AI). Point it at what you want to automate - a browser tab, a desktop app, or your entire workflow.

   $ npm i -g openowl
   

2. Describe What You Want

   Just tell it what you need in plain language. "Find 50 leads on LinkedIn and save them to a spreadsheet" or "Update all prices in Shopify by 10%." No scripts, no code - just describe the task like you would to a human assistant.

"Find UGC creators on Instagram who post about skincare, save their profiles to a Google Sheet"

3. Watch It Work

   OpenOwl sees your screen, opens the right apps, clicks buttons, fills forms, and navigates pages - exactly like you would. It works through each step, handles errors, and delivers a summary when done.

   ✓ Opened Instagram
   ✓ Found 34 creators
   ✓ Saved to Google Sheet
   ✓ Done in 4m 12s
