OwnPilot v0.8.3 · Source-verified guide

Start with a focused agent

Configure an agent with a system prompt, model preference, assigned tools and execution limits. Give it a narrow role and a clear completion condition. The AI Agent Creator can help turn a natural-language description into an agent configuration for review.

Claw agents: a workspace for the job

A Claw combines model reasoning, a dedicated file workspace, tools, CLI access, browser automation and coding-agent integrations. Four execution modes cover single tasks, continuous work, intervals and event-driven reactions.

Persistent .claw/ files — INSTRUCTIONS.md, TASKS.md, MEMORY.md and LOG.md — guide work across cycles. The management interface includes files, history, audit, output and chat views.

Soul agents: identity that persists

Soul agents have a configurable role, mission, personality, voice and boundaries. Scheduled heartbeats run checklists, while evolution tracking records learnings and feedback.

Crews assign different roles to multiple agents and support delegation and inter-agent messages. Prebuilt templates provide starting points for briefings, monitoring and code review.

Put boundaries around autonomy

Set allowed and blocked actions, approval requirements and cost limits. Start with assisted or supervised operation and inspect activity before expanding autonomy. Models and external APIs can incur usage charges.

Claw escalation asks for human input when environment changes are needed. OwnPilot’s controls help govern tool use; review each integration’s own access and permissions as well.

Coding agents

OwnPilot can orchestrate installed Claude Code, Codex and Gemini CLI tools. Sessions support streamed terminal output, headless or interactive execution and stored results. Install and authenticate the chosen CLI separately; OwnPilot does not provide those subscriptions or credentials.
