 "what": "OpenDots is an open-source template from CopilotKit for persistent AI coworkers, each with its own computer, that move between web chat, mobile, Slack and calls. Agents can browse in an isolated browser, ask for human approval in chat, and keep working in the background. You host it yourself; conversations need CopilotKit Intelligence, either hosted, a local Docker evaluation, or a licensed self-hosted deployment.",
 "why": "6k stars, launched 26 days ago, talked about in 2 AI sources we track",
 "language": "TypeScript",
 "requirements": [
  "Node.js 24 and npm",
  "An OpenAI-compatible model key",
