About this workspace

What is OpenWork?

OpenWork is an open-source AI work management platform built by Different AI. It combines task management, project organisation and knowledge capture with AI assistance — giving individuals and teams an intelligent workspace that can be self-hosted and controlled.

Unlike cloud-first productivity tools that lock data into proprietary platforms, OpenWork is designed with data control in mind. It can be deployed locally or on your own infrastructure and connects to any OpenAI-compatible API, making Adorbis a natural fit for AI routing without committing to a single model provider.

MIT licensed and maintained by Different AI, OpenWork is aimed at professionals and teams who want AI-enhanced productivity without sacrificing control over where their work data lives.
