Orbit: Open Source AI Desktop Agent

A self-hosted tool for building computer use workflows on a real desktop inside Docker.

▶ Watch the demo

What it does

• Scrape structured data from websites
• Fill and submit forms using credentials from a secrets vault
• Run Python inline with access to all previous step outputs
• Monitor pages on a schedule and branch based on what's on screen
• Chain any of the above into a single workflow
• Apply to Jobs

Runs in a Docker container with a full browser and desktop. You can watch it work over VNC, pause and take control, then hand back.

Example workflows

Built-in templates you can load in one click:

Template	What it does
Web Scrape	Navigate to a page, extract structured fields
Login & Fill	Log in with saved credentials, fill and submit a form
Retry Loop	Run an action, check if it succeeded, retry if not
Competitor Analysis	Scrape pricing, models, and API costs across a list of competitors, analyse in terminal, output CSV + charts
CSV Batch	Load a CSV, loop over every row, perform an action per row

Quick start

git clone https://github.com/aadya940/orbit-ui
cd orbit-ui
cp .env.example .env
# Set GEMINI_API_KEY (or any supported LLM key)
docker compose up

Open http://127.0.0.1:3000

Windows: use 127.0.0.1 not localhost — on Windows, localhost resolves to IPv6 and the connection will fail.
