Want a few “persona + files + reachable from WeChat / Feishu (Lark)” AI bots on your own PC — without locking into one vendor subscription? AnyModelBot is an open-source, local-first desktop AI assistant (MIT): one Modelflare key claims access to 70+ models, with background research / scheduled rules and three file/command permission tiers. Repo modelflare-ai/AnyModelBot (~425★ when checked), site anymodel.bot, latest v0.1.15 (2026-11-01) ships Win x64/arm64 exe, macOS dmg, Linux AppImage. Researched November 2, 2026.

What it can do — and the edges

Each bot gets a persona, default model, workspace and memory. It can read/write files, run commands in a sandbox, and shows an approval card before leaving the workspace. Three permission tiers: read-only / workspace (default — ask before leaving) / full access (no sandbox; recursive deletes still prompt). Background jobs and scheduled rules can research, tidy, and fire reminders; a “needs you” sidebar collects approvals. Desktop control uses a built-in Cua Driver — Beta on macOS.

Models: sign in or paste a Modelflare key; one picker covers many vendors and can switch mid-conversation; pick international or China mainland routes as needed. Chats, memory, files and keys stay on the machine by default; prompts / tool results sent to a model still transit Modelflare to the provider (the privacy note is blunt about that). Still early (v0.1.x) — features move fast with each Release.

How it sits next to tools on this site

Product Stronger when you care about…
PawWork (EN pending) Pick a folder + plain-language office-file work (DSH pack) — finish sheets / receipts in one workspace
Dashou / 搭手 (EN pending) Alt+Space launcher + visual action chains (closed source) — hotkey search and RPA pipelines
Abu Open-source desktop office AI: read files / run commands / emit Office docs — Cowork-style one-shot tasks
Cindy Ready harness for Claude Code / Codex across devices — already live in a Claude Code workflow
AnyModelBot One-session multi-model switching + WeChat/Feishu IM entry + Super-Agent-style background / schedules — always-on bots, IM reach, tight permissions

This is not another “also chats about files” rewrite: the gap is multi-model one-click switching + chat apps as the front door + background tasks / rules. For a browser-sidebar agent see Youxiaohou (closed-source credits).

Who it is for (and caveats)

Good fit: want always-on local agents; need a WeChat / Feishu ping; prefer swappable pay-as-you-go models over locking a monthly vendor first.

Caveats: “full access” or desktop control hands the keyboard to the model — practise on workspace tier first; macOS desktop control is still Beta; model calls leave the machine; do not expose Docker admin ports to the public internet; verify installers with SHA256SUMS on the Release. Version and package names follow the November 2, 2026 GitHub Releases / site check.
