What is Abu?

Abu is a desktop application that acts as an AI office copilot, running entirely on your machine. You describe tasks in natural language, and Abu autonomously plans and executes them—reading files, running commands, writing documents, and building reports. The project describes itself as an open-source alternative to Claude Cowork.

Key capabilities include autonomous task planning, a self-evolving skill system that learns from your workflows, multi-agent collaboration, scheduled automation, browser and computer control, and integration with external services via connectors. Abu prioritizes privacy with local-first processing and includes a plan confirmation mode for high-risk operations. It supports multiple AI models and offers both macOS and Windows versions.
