OWL (Optimized Workforce Learning) is an open-source multi-agent collaboration framework from CAMEL-AI for automating real-world tasks via coordinated LLM agents and toolkits (web browsing, code execution, document/image/video processing). It is a Python library/CLI with an optional Gradio web UI (English, Chinese, Japanese) for model selection, API key management, interactive chat, and task history. The end user brings their own provider API keys, set via environment variables, a .env file (copied from .env_template), or directly in the web UI. It ranked #1 among open-source submissions on the GAIA benchmark (~58.18 avg) and was accepted to NeurIPS 2025. Runs locally and via Docker; no data leaves the machine beyond the configured model API calls.

How your API key is handled

Your API key is supplied via an environment variable or local config file. Requests are sent directly to the AI provider. Because it can be self-hosted, your key never has to touch a third-party backend.

Setup

Install the tool, set your provider API key as an environment variable (or in its config file), and pick a model.
