Opensteer

Opensteer tackles a real gap: specialized AI agents that do one job well and run on a schedule. Instead of another chatbot, you get agents that prospect LinkedIn each morning or watch eBay for deals — and they actually connect to those services. The open-source angle is practical too; you can run everything locally if you want. Pricing is credit-based for hosted runs: $5 one-time credits on free tier (1 agent), then $50/month for $65 credits and unlimited agents, or $200/month for $350 credits. Browser runtime is $0.20/hour. For heavy browser automation, credits can burn fast — a long-running daily agent might cost $20-40/month in overages on top of subscription. This makes the tool best for moderate-frequency tasks rather than constant scraping. Compared to general automation platforms like Zapier or Make, Opensteer is more opinionated — it provides pre-built agent templates for specific tasks (sales, support, SRE, marketplace monitoring) rather than a generic builder. This is great if your use case fits one of their templates, less so for custom multi-step workflows. Where it falls short: no no-code chatbot builder, no one-off automations (agents are designed to run recurrently), and enterprise features like observability and SLAs are custom-only. Also, while integrations are documented for LinkedIn, Gmail, etc., there's no public API for custom connectors — you rely on their existing set. For teams already comfortable with open-source tooling and needing reliable recurring agent workflows, Opensteer is worth a trial. For one-off automation or heavy browser tasks, the credit model might feel limiting.
