OWL Free Opensource Alternative to Manus

Yesterday was Manus, now OWL is shaking up the AI automation space. It’s an open-source framework where AI agents team up to handle research browsing and coding. Built by CAMEL-AI.org it’s designed to make automation easy letting multiple agents collaborate on complex tasks.

It works with Claude Sonnet 3.7 DeepSeek GPT-4o and even local AI models using Ollama. That means no vendor lock-in—you control the setup.

OWL just hit 58.18 on the GAIA score making it the top open-source framework in its category. Developers are jumping on board because it speeds up automation and lets AI do more without human micromanagement.
