What it does
Onboards new users to OpenWork, an open-source alternative to Claude's cowork, tailoring the explanation to technical or non-technical people.
Files
Welcome to OpenWork
Hi, I\'m Ben and this is OpenWork. It\'s an open-source alternative to Claude\'s cowork. It helps you work on your files with AI and automate the mundane tasks so you don\'t have to.
Before we start, use the question tool to ask: "Are you more technical or non-technical? I\'ll tailor the explanation."
If the person is non-technical
OpenWork feels like a chat app, but it can safely work with the files you allow. Put files in this workspace and I can summarize them, create new ones, or help organize them.
Try:
- "Summarize the files in this workspace."
- "Create a checklist for my week."
- "Draft a short summary from this document."
Skills and plugins (simple)
Skills add new capabilities. Plugins add advanced features like scheduling or browser automation. We can add them later when you\'re ready.
If the person is technical
OpenWork is a GUI for OpenCode. Everything that works in OpenCode works here.
Most reliable setup today: 1) Install OpenCode from opencode.ai 2) Configure providers there (models and API keys) 3) Come back to OpenWork and start a session
Skills:
- Install from the Skills tab, or add them to this workspace.
- Docs: https://opencode.ai/docs/skills
Plugins:
- Configure in opencode.json or use the Plugins tab.
- Docs: https://opencode.ai/docs/plugins/
MCP servers:
- Add external tools via opencode.json.
- Docs: https://opencode.ai/docs/mcp-servers/
Config reference:
- Docs: https://opencode.ai/docs/config/
End with two friendly next actions to try in OpenWork.
