Opensteer - Specialized agents that learn and run your business
See original launch post

Opensteer creates specialized AI agents that learn and use your tools, workflows, rules, and custom processes to become experts at one specific job.

Each agent runs in a secure cloud workspace with its own browser, tools, memory, schedules, rules, and approval gates. Instead of one generic assistant trying to do everything, Opensteer agents are trained around one job and the way your company actually gets it done.

With a team of specialized agents, you essentially have a suite of AI employees that help run and accelerate your business 24/7.

The Problem

Agents today are too generic. They get a long prompt, a huge context window, and every tool loaded at once.

But real company workflows are specific and messy. Sales follow-up happens across a CRM, Gmail, LinkedIn, and Slack. Support triage may require tickets, docs, dashboards, and manager approvals. Ops work often lives inside browser-only portals with no API.

Each job needs its own rules, context, workflows, and guardrails. With one generic agent, those rules get blended together, important context gets lost, and the quality of the work drops.

The Solution

Opensteer turns a generic agent into a specialized worker by giving it a custom harness for one job.

A harness is a filesystem that teaches an agent how to do a workflow well. It contains the agent's operating playbook, memory, tools, schedules, browser access, deterministic code, approval rules, and integrations for that specific job.

Skills tell the agent how to think, make tradeoffs, and follow your company's rules. Actions and scripts handle the parts that should run the same way every time: API calls, browser automation, parsing, validation, database updates, notifications, and scheduled routines.

You decide where each workflow sits on the autonomy spectrum: deterministic code, agent judgment, human approval, or a mix of all three.

Because harnesses can use APIs, first-party MCPs, CLIs, custom code, and browser automation, Opensteer agents can integrate with anything your team already uses.

How It Works

1. Describe the job you want the agent to own.

2. Opensteer creates a specialized harness for that workflow.

3. Connect the apps, browser profiles, tools, APIs, and data it needs.

4. Add rules, approvals, schedules, and deterministic actions.

5. Run it in the cloud, then check in or steer it from Opensteer, Claude Code, or Codex.
