FAQ

Who is OpenCow for?

OpenCow is for any team that needs to deliver work, including marketing, sales, finance, HR, support, design, and engineering. If a task can be described, an agent can deliver it.

What is Task-Driven AI?

Task-Driven AI means each unit of work, such as a campaign, report, or feature, starts as a task assigned to its own autonomous agent. This ensures full context, independent execution, and parallel delivery of multiple tasks.

How is OpenCow different from AI chat tools?

Unlike single-use AI chat tools where context is lost and outputs are buried, OpenCow provides persistent agents for each task. This allows for full context, real-time monitoring, scheduled automation, and searchable deliverables.

Can I pause and resume agents?

Yes, agents can be suspended and resumed at any time, preserving the task, conversation, files, and progress.

Does OpenCow send data to the cloud?

No, OpenCow is 100% local. All data stays on your machine, with zero telemetry, analytics, or cloud dependency.

What kind of tasks can agents handle?

Agents can handle a wide variety of tasks including web research, content writing, data analysis, code generation, report creation, competitive intelligence gathering, candidate screening, and design audits. They have built-in access to browsers, scheduling, integrations, and file systems.
