Andrew Ng announced OpenWorker, an open-source agent that is meant to deliver finished work rather than just chat.
The agent can produce polished deliverables such as documents, Slack messages, or calendar updates. It can also work across files and everyday tools, and it pauses to check in before doing anything consequential.
OpenWorker runs on Mac, with Windows support coming later. It is model-agnostic: users can bring their own API key and run it with GPT-5.6 Sol, Claude Fable, Gemini 3.6, open-weight models such as Kimi, GLM, DeepSeek, Inkling, or even Ollama for local data handling.
