OpenAcme
OpenAcme is an open-source, local-first, self-hosted multi-agent AI platform that lets you create a workforce of named agents with roles, models, tools, and memory. It solves the problem of coordinating multiple AI agents for complex tasks by allowing them to self-organize through delegation. It is for developers who want a flexible, self-hosted alternative to CrewAI or AutoGen, with support for multiple AI providers.
