Excited to share our new project OWL - an open-source alternative to Manus AI with 11K+ GitHub stars and climbing…

OWL: https://github.com/camel-ai/owl

Everyone’s talking about Manus AI (an agent that can research, browse, code, and automate tasks.)

But there’s a catch: → All the above agents cost $20 to $200 a month → Manus AI is available via an invite code only

OWL by CAMEL-AI is an opensource project that’s breaking records:

  11K+ GitHub stars in 5 days
  Ranks #1 on the GAIA Benchmark among open-source projects with a 58.18 avg score!


  Specialized Multi-Agent Collaboration
 ↳ AI user agents break down complex tasks
 ↳ Assistants agents create detailed execution strategies and interact with tools and tool agents
 ↳ Tools / Tool agents interface with external services and APIs

 Real-World Capabilities
 ↳ Autonomous research, coding, and web browsing
 ↳ Runs locally on your machine for privacy
 ↳ Supports top LLMs (easily integrated with GPT-4O, Claude 3.7, Gemini, Mistral, DeepSeek , Qwen, Ollama, Groq more)
 ↳ Automates complex workflows, from research to execution
I Simple Setup ↳ Fast installs via conda or uv ↳ Docker support for easy deployment ↳ Straightforward config with TOML files

No restrictions. No invites. No paywalls. Just powerful multi-agent collaboration.

AI autonomy shouldn’t be locked behind paywalls.
