Wegent is an open-source, self-hostable AI workspace for planning, building, and delivering software with coding agents. Published on GitHub by wecode-ai with about 870 stars under the Apache-2.0 license, it is under very active development, with updates in October 2026.
Wegent spans three parts: a desktop workbench for local projects, a self-hostable web platform with browser-based agents, knowledge, and automation, and a backend that connects them to shared project spaces, models, and execution devices. In the desktop app, work is organized by project and task; the task view keeps the conversation, tool activity, tests, changed files, and diffs together, while the project-space view provides a board, shared files, automation, and execution status. Agents are reusable units that combine models, prompts, skills, and knowledge.
In day-to-day use, Wegent Desktop works directly with local projects, files, commands, and tests, so an agent can edit code, run the test suite, and present diffs for review inside one workspace rather than scattering work across tools. The web platform brings the same ideas to teams: browser-based agents, shared knowledge, automations, and administration for multi-user setups. A dedicated documentation site walks through installation and configuration for both the desktop application and the self-hosted deployment.
Wegent is free and open source under the Apache-2.0 license. You can download the desktop app or self-host the web platform on your own infrastructure without a subscription.
Wegent fits developers and small teams who want an agent-driven coding workspace they fully control, including organizations that need collaboration and automation features but prefer self-hosting over a closed SaaS product.
