SMRTR summary
OpenWorker is a newly released MIT-licensed desktop agent that runs locally, uses your own API keys, and delivers finished artifacts — documents, Slack replies, rearranged calendars — not just chat transcripts. What sets it apart is a typed permission system that classifies every tool call by risk level, a built-in prompt-injection defense, and a genuinely local-first architecture with no vendor holding your tokens.
