# OpenManus > An open-source framework for building and running general-purpose AI agents capable of executing complex, multi-step tasks autonomously. OpenManus is an open-source AI agent framework developed by FoundationAgents that enables developers to build, customize, and deploy general-purpose autonomous agents. It provides a flexible architecture for creating agents that can plan, reason, and execute multi-step tasks using a variety of tools and integrations. The project is community-driven and designed to be extensible, making it suitable for research, prototyping, and production use cases alike. - **General-Purpose Agent Framework**: *Build agents capable of handling diverse tasks including web browsing, code execution, file management, and more out of the box.* - **Multi-Step Task Planning**: *Agents autonomously decompose complex goals into sub-tasks and execute them sequentially or in parallel.* - **Tool Integration**: *Easily plug in custom tools or use built-in integrations for web search, code interpreters, and file systems.* - **Multi-Agent Support**: *Orchestrate multiple specialized agents working together to solve complex problems.* - **Open-Source & Extensible**: *Clone the repository, install dependencies, and start building custom agents with a clean Python API.* - **LLM Agnostic**: *Supports multiple large language model backends, allowing developers to swap models based on task requirements or cost.* - **Community-Driven Development**: *Active GitHub community with contributions, issues, and discussions to accelerate development.* - **Easy Setup**: *Get started by cloning the repo and following the quickstart guide to run your first agent in minutes.* ## Features - General-purpose AI agent framework - Multi-step task planning and execution - Built-in tool integrations (web search, code execution, file management) - Multi-agent orchestration - LLM-agnostic backend support - Extensible plugin/tool architecture - Python API - Open-source community contributions ## Integrations OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Web search APIs, Code interpreters, File systems ## Platforms API, DEVELOPER_SDK ## Pricing Open Source ## Links - Website: https://github.com/FoundationAgents/OpenManus - Documentation: https://github.com/FoundationAgents/OpenManus/blob/main/README.md - Repository: https://github.com/FoundationAgents/OpenManus - EveryDev.ai: https://www.everydev.ai/tools/openmanus
