I’m building OpenWeavr, an open-source platform that lets you run AI agents on your own machines (Mac minis, laptops, or spare computers) to automate real-world tasks.

The idea is simple: many workflows still require manual steps across apps, browsers, and tools. Instead of relying only on cloud SaaS automation, OpenWeavr lets you run agents locally so they can:

• Automate workflows across apps and websites • Run long-lived agents on always-on machines • Orchestrate tasks across multiple devices • Keep data local and private via self-hosting

A lot of people have idle Macs or spare computers at home or work — OpenWeavr turns them into automation workers.

Current focus: • Simple self-host setup • Agent workflows & task automation • Developer-friendly APIs • Privacy-first architecture

The project is still early, and I’d love feedback from the HN community on:

• What tasks would you automate first? • What’s missing from current automation tools? • What would make you run something like this at home or work?

Happy to answer questions and would love contributors or feedback!
