Cowork – Self-hosted task queue and dashboard for Claude, Codex, and AI agents

Cowork is an open-source control plane that connects coding agents such as Claude Code, Hermes, Gemini and Ollama into one task inbox, with fallback chains that hand work to the next agent when an API hits its rate limit. It offers a dark single-pane dashboard with host telemetry, a zero-database design storing state as plain JSON and Markdown, one-command remote worker deployment, and 285+ built-in specialist personas across 19 departments. It runs on Node.js ≥ 20 and ships as a server install script, a skill installer for agent clients, or a Docker image exposing an MCP endpoint at /mcp.
