What’s Inside the Best Open-Source General AI Agent?
Last week felt like a wild for AI agents. If you’ve been following the space, you probably saw the buzz around MANUS. Manus AI grabbed everyone’s attention. A general AI agent system (impressive, no doubt). But there was a catch: it wasn’t open-source, and you needed an invite just to try it out. Cool tech, but limited access. We wanted to change that. So we did. We rolled out OWL, an autonomous, open-source general AI agent built on top of the CAMEL-AI framework. No paywalls. 100% open and ready to use. And in just 5 days? → 11.2K+ GitHub stars → Ranked #1 on GAIA among open source general agents → A community that’s already building, testing, and scaling with it This is more than a project. OWL is** our answer to the need for accessible, scalable, and autonomous agent frameworks**. We’ve made some real advancements in pushing the boundaries of what autonomous AI agents can do, without the barriers of closed systems. Let’s take a closer look at why OWL is making waves and why it might be exactly what you’ve been looking for. A Modern, Modular Tech Stack At CAMEL-AI, we’re all about making life easier for developers, AI researchers, and anyone exploring multi-agent systems. With OWL, you get: ✅ Seamless multi-agent orchestration, thanks to the CAMEL-AI framework ✅ Built-in Docker support for easy deployment—whether you’re on cloud or local ✅ A clean, modular Python setup for flexibility and fast prototyping
