Row-Bot 5.0 ships with React interface, persistent goals, and per-conversation workspaces in a local-first rebuild
The developer of Row-Bot, a local-first AI assistant, released version 5.0 as a major rebuild. The NiceGUI interface was replaced by a React app running across desktop, browsers, phones and tablets, with conversation-scoped workspaces holding designs, code, goals, delegated agents, approvals and a terminal. The release adds user-chosen models, goals that persist across turns, durable approvals, and a FastAPI/uvicorn backend after removing roughly 65,000 lines of legacy code.

AI Overview
- Row-Bot 5.0 replaces NiceGUI with one React app across desktop, browsers, phones and tablets, removing about 65,000 lines of code and 16 locked dependencies
- Fresh profiles have no preset models; setup supports Ollama, ChatGPT/Claude/Grok subscriptions, API keys and custom endpoints, and removing a provider marks its models unavailable
- Goals continue across turns with no default limit, pause on stalled progress, respect approvals, and recover after restarts; delegated agents show progress with Message and Stop controls
- Approvals persist across restarts and no longer expire after 30 minutes; requests can be answered from the conversation, Home, attention list or Buddy
- The backend runs directly on FastAPI and uvicorn using HTTP and server-sent events; local-first defaults, approval gates and single-owner access remain

IRIS v0.2.0 launches as spatial desktop operating environment for autonomous AI agents
A developer released IRIS v0.2.0, a graphical desktop environment for collaborating with autonomous AI agents, positioned as an alternative to single-stream chat-based coding tools. Built in Rust with Tauri 2 and React 19, it treats agents, workspaces, tools, memory graphs, and release pipelines as first-class spatial objects. The release matters to practitioners building agent workflows who want more than copy-paste chat interfaces.

Row-Bot v4.8.0 adds provider-aware reasoning controls
Row-Bot v4.8.0 is released, introducing provider-aware reasoning controls that let each chat select a valid reasoning mode for the exact model in use. The update also improves context handling with safer custom endpoint assumptions and stronger rolling compaction safeguards.

OpenDots - open-source local AI agent that acts on events toward an ongoing goal
OpenDots is an open-source, self-hosted AI agent that you give an ongoing goal and an event source; the LLM evaluates incoming events against the goal and proposes work. It solves the problem of restarting agent conversations for every new event, with human approval before execution. It is positioned as a local, open alternative to OpenAI Dots, useful for developers automating workflows like GitHub issue handling.

Dotbot: open-source desktop workspace for coding-agent sessions
Dotbot is an open-source desktop app that puts coding-agent sessions, project files, and Git state in a single window, so developers don't juggle terminal, editor, and git panes to follow an agent. It streams live agent transcripts with thinking and tool cards showing diffs and file previews, and sessions persist with their transcripts. It targets developers who run coding agents daily and want one place to observe and steer them.
