OpenRoom provides a browser-based desktop environment where an AI agent operates applications using natural language commands. It targets users seeking an intuitive, AI-driven interface and developers looking for a novel way to generate applications. The primary benefit is seamless, natural language control over a suite of integrated applications, all running locally within the browser without backend dependencies.

How It Works

VibeApps presents a macOS-inspired desktop within the browser, featuring resizable windows and side-by-side app layouts. A core AI Agent interacts with these applications through a structured "Action system," enabling commands like "Play some jazz" or "Write a diary entry." Crucially, the system runs entirely locally using IndexedDB for data storage, eliminating the need for server-side infrastructure or user accounts. A unique "Vibe Workflow," executed via the Claude Code CLI, allows users to generate complete, AI-integrated applications simply by describing their desired functionality.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Prerequisites: Node.js (18+), pnpm (9+).
• Installation: Clone the repository, navigate to the directory, run pnpm install, and then pnpm dev.
• Access: Open http://localhost:3000 in your browser.
• Dependencies: An LLM API key is required for the in-app AI Agent chat functionality, configured in the Chat Panel settings.

Highlighted Details

• AI Agent operates built-in applications (Music, Chess, Email, Diary, etc.) via natural language commands.
• Vibe Workflow enables generating fully integrated applications from natural language descriptions using a CLI tool.
• Entirely local, browser-based execution with data stored in IndexedDB; no backend or accounts needed.
• Includes a suite of pre-built applications like Music, Chess, FreeCell, Diary, and CyberNews.

Maintenance & Community

Licensing & Compatibility

The project is licensed under the MIT license. This license is permissive and generally allows for commercial use and integration into closed-source projects.

Limitations & Caveats

Operation of the AI Agent chat panel requires a valid LLM API key. The Vibe Workflow for app creation is executed via the Claude Code CLI, distinct from the browser-based chat interface. In the open-source standalone version, the vibe-container SDK is a local mock utilizing IndexedDB and an event bus for Agent communication.
