About us
This group organizes events around OpenMates - from meetups accessible for everyone regardless of tech experience, to workshops, hackathons and possibly more.
OpenMates gives everyone access to privacy & user interests focused AI team mates which can handle everyday tasks (like finding events, doctor appointments, train connections with prices and much more), help with building projects and learning. Making the useful aspects of AI accessible to a wide audience.
With the goal to built not just an open source alternative to big tech AI chatbots & agentic systems, but to built something better: a incredibly useful software that puts user interests first, with a better usability, privacy, safety, functionality than what you can expect from profit-at-all-costs big tech companies.
OpenMates is open to the public, around 200 people currently use the official cloud version, and you can start using it as well, or set up the Self Hosting Edition on your own server, if you have experience with setting up a server & are willing to invest some setup & maintenance time.

[ Online ] OpenMates CLI & SDK for developers - all chats & features inclusive.
Location not specified yetFrustrated with being unable to access your AI chats and projects across your devices? And that the web apps of big tech AI agents have features which aren’t available in their CLI and SDKs and vice versa?
This presentation plus Q&A will give you an introduction into how to work with the official CLI and pip & npm SDK of OpenMates.org. Unlike other AI agents software, OpenMates gives you nearly all features from the web app also in the official CLI and SDKs. Ensuring you have full access to all your chats, projects, tasks, plans, workflows, memories, teams, all app skills, settings and more - regardless of the way you interact with OpenMates.
In the Q&A part you have plenty of time to ask questions, explain & discuss ideas how you want to implement OpenMates into your software projects and workflows - and get free recommendations for how to get the most out of the OpenMates CLI & SDKs.

[ Online ] Intro to Self hosting your AI agents. Options, tips & tricks.
Location not specified yetYou want to run AI agents with the maximum level of control and privacy, by running them on your own server? Either with external AI inference APIs or fully local models via Olama and similar software?
This presentation plus Q&A will give you an introduction into how to setup the Self-Hosting Edition of OpenMates.org - which has all the features of the official cloud version. But be aware: for maximum independence of the OpenMates Cloud you need to setup various API keys (many of which require paid subscriptions with external providers), if you want to make full use of all features of OpenMates. Also: local AI inference requires access to expensive high performance servers.
In the Q&A part you have plenty of time to ask questions, explain & discuss your usecase and wishes for how OpenMates could be even better and simpler to setup. And to get free recommendations for how to get the most out of the OpenMates Self-Hosting Edition.
