Behalf.bot Is Now Open Source
Behalf.bot - the autonomous Claude Code harness I've been building since February - is now publicly-available at github.com/scrollinondubs/behalfbot.
Excited to announce that the entire codebase for Behalf.bot is now freely-available under the OSaasy.dev license here.
What is Behalf.bot?
It’s basically a more capable Open Claw that can legally run under a Claude Max subscription so you have it for a monthly fixed cost with an incredibly capable model powering it.
The story behind it
Back in early February I setup Open Claw and tinkered for about a month but it was like the main character from Memento - incapable of performing any kind of ongoing work that involved multi-step tasks. Anytime I could get it do something useful it would wake up the next day like an amnesiac oblivious to what we had done. I’d spec out a skill to compose a morning briefing and one day it’d be in HTML format with all the desired sections and the following day it was in markdown format with completely different sections and content… even the simplest templated jobs couldn’t be replicated reliably - very frustrating.
Rather than give up though on the vision of having a capable virtual assistant agent I played a hunch that Claude Code itself could become a capable harness for an assistant. Anthropic had just announced their new channels feature which made it possible to use chat apps like Discord, Telegram and WhatsApp to interface with it.
Fast forward three months and Behalf.bot has evolved to become an essential employee for me. Just some of the things my agent Jax does for me daily:
Content marketing (research, revisions, social promotion)
Morning briefings (aggregate info from multiple sources)
Quantified-self tracking & advisement (workouts, macros, sleep, runs)
Dating profile automation (concierge full-serve handles chatting up people and setting coffees)
Customer service and billing for Vibecode Lisboa
Multi-modal interaction (voice in/out & collab via the reMarkable tablet)
Claude Pulse self-improvement (auto finds ways to make itself better)
Autonomous software engineering (builds apps and landing pages end-to-end with just voice direction)
Midnight Oil (autonomously ships PRs overnight)
You can see demonstrations of these in the video below where I unveiled this at our last user group meeting:
Why this all matters
The world of work is rapidly evolving. Some activities and roles are being commoditized while other new opportunities are blossoming from agentic AI. We are still incredibly early in the game but now is the time to roll your sleeves up and get dirty with this suff to learn how it works.
Pick a fun idea as a side project and see if you can accomplish what you’re imagining using an agent like Behalf.bot. This is all just practice and gives you early first-hand exposure to agentic engineering which is the only way to learn. You don’t learn to surf by reading a book about it - you learn by getting in the water and trying to ride waves. It’s no different with this stuff.
What’s next
You can download the entire codebase here. I’ve also created a fully-managed whiteglove install option that’s available for purchase on Behalf.bot for €250.
We’re just finishing Cohort 4 for Build School. Cohort 5 will be completely restructured around using Behalf.bot to do fully-agentic software development as well as marketing, sales, customer service and other functions of whatever side hustle you’re intending to start. If you want to be part of that next group join the Vibecode Lisboa community and stay tuned for the announcement once dates are locked down for Cohort 5.
There has never been a better time to start tinkering with agentic AI. Watch the video above to see what it can do and star the repo on Github to follow along as this project evolves.


Could this be hosted somewhere vs running on a local machine? I know this thing is amazing. I am not sure if I can benefit from it. Sean knows I lead a simple life. Hosting it in the cloud first would be the best route for me.
Amazing! Thank you for sharing it with us 😎
