A configurable AI coworker workspace
Bring your own setup and approval rules
Open Duet is built for people who want control over the application workspace and the engine connected to it.
Connect a supported engine
Use Claude Code, Codex, an Agent Client Protocol CLI, or an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, following each engine's own access and usage terms.
Keep oversight in the workflow
Choose approval modes and review risky actions. Open Duet can be run locally or self-hosted; the server setup is experimental.

An open project, not a Meta Muse clone
Open Duet is a separate AI coworker workspace that you can inspect and run in an environment you control.
Open Duet is in active development and is not a feature-for-feature replacement for Meta Muse. Its software does not include model access or compute; connected engines and providers set their own usage limits and costs.
