agent-zero

What it does

Runs a Dockerised Linux desktop the agent can actually use — real GUI applications, terminals, files — alongside a browser with DOM annotation so page elements become instructions, plus live document cowork, projects, skills and plugins. A bridge back to the host exists, and enabling it is precisely where the isolation stops being isolation, so start without it. Long autonomous runs bill continuously. MIT.

agent-zero FAQ

Is agent-zero free?

agent-zero itself is free, but it needs an API key for an external AI service. That service charges separately, though some have a free tier.

Do I need to install anything or write code to use agent-zero?

It needs the command line. If you are not comfortable typing commands, expect to get stuck during setup.

Does agent-zero work on a phone?

No. It needs a computer.

Can I use agent-zero commercially?

The project does not state a clear licence, so commercial use cannot be confirmed here. Check the official page or ask the author before using it at work.
