A single agent can generate images, analyze data, and edit videos — each task seems doable, but to produce a complete result, you often have to switch back and forth between ChatGPT, Midjourney, Seedance, and Excel five times. Let me share an open-source project I’ve been using recently: VRSEN/OpenSwarm. It coordinates 8 specialized agents to deliver complete outputs from a single prompt, all running in the terminal with no GUI needed.

GitHub:https://github.com/VRSEN/OpenSwarm

  • Orchestrator: Unifies incoming requests and automatically distributes them to the appropriate specialist.
  • Deep Research: Researches competitors and includes citations.
  • Slides Agent: Directly generates HTML slide decks and exports to PPTX.
  • Data Analyst: Runs in an isolated IPython kernel to produce visualizations.
  • Image and Video Agents: Integrate multiple models like Gemini, Sora, and Veo.
  • Virtual Assistant: Also connects to over 10,000 external services via Composio, including Gmail, Slack, and GitHub.

Main features: Orchestrator as central dispatcher — routes all requests to the corresponding specialized agent, never guessing on its own. Deep Research — web research with citations, outputting balanced analysis with references. Slides Agent — generates an HTML slide deck from a single prompt, automatically exporting to PPTX. Data Analyst — runs statistical models and produces visualizations in an isolated IPython kernel. Image + Video multi-model support — Gemini / http://fal.ai / Sora / Veo optional, with video stitching and editing.

Deployment is also simple: npm install -g @vrsen/openswarm installs in one line, then openswarm launches a setup wizard that auto-configures the environment.

Perfect for anyone tired of constantly switching between multiple tools.

💡 What Makes This Different?

Instead of one agent trying to do everything poorly, you get specialists coordinated by an orchestrator.

🎯 Real Examples

Paste these into your terminal and watch magic happen:

  • “Create a complete investor pitch for OpenSwarm” → Full deck + executive summary + market research
  • “Research my top 5 competitors and write 3 SEO-optimized blog posts” → Competitive analysis + keyword research + publish-ready content
  • “Analyze this data and create a quarterly report with charts” → Data insights + visualizations + formatted document
  • “Generate a product launch video with animations” → Professional video with graphics and transitions
  • “Build me a marketing campaign for Q2” → Strategy doc + creative assets + implementation timeline

Connect to 10,000+ external services (Gmail, Slack, GitHub, HubSpot) via Composio for even more power.

Deep ResearchConducts comprehensive, evidence-based web research with citations and balanced analysis.
Data AnalystAnalyses structured data, builds charts, runs statistical models — all inside an isolated IPython kernel.
Slides AgentGenerates complete, visually polished HTML slide decks, then exports them to PPTX.
Docs AgentCreates formatted Word documents and PDFs from outlines or raw content.
Image Generation AgentGenerates and edits images using Gemini 2.5 Flash Image / Gemini 3 Pro Image and fal.ai.
Video Generation AgentProduces videos via Sora (OpenAI), Veo (Google), and Seedance (fal.ai); also edits and combines clips.

📦 Get Started in 30 Seconds

For most users (recommended): bash npm install -g @vrsen/openswarm openswarm

That’s it! The setup wizard handles everything: authentication, dependencies, and configuration.

Requirements: Node.js 20+ (Python 3.10+ auto-installed)

🔧 Build Your Own Swarm

Fork this repo and create your own specialized AI team in minutes:

bash git clone https://github.com/VRSEN/openswarm.git cd openswarm

Then tell Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex:

“Turn this into an SEO optimization swarm”

They’ll automatically customize all agents for your use case.

Popular custom swarms:

  • SEO Swarm: Keyword research + competitor analysis + blog writing
  • Sales Swarm: Lead research + outreach + proposal generation
  • Marketing Swarm: Campaign planning + creative assets + analytics
  • Product Swarm: Market research + feature specs + launch materials

⚙️ API Keys & Setup

The setup wizard walks you through everything, but you’ll need at least one of these:

Required (choose one):

  • OPENAI_API_KEY - For GPT 5.5 and Sora video generation
  • ANTHROPIC_API_KEY - For Claude models

Optional superpowers:

  • COMPOSIO_API_KEY - Unlock 10,000+ integrations (Gmail, Slack, GitHub, etc.)
  • GOOGLE_API_KEY - Gemini image generation + Veo video
  • FAL_KEY - Advanced video editing and effects
  • SEARCH_API_KEY - Web search for research agent

Tools gracefully degrade when keys are missing — you’ll get clear instructions on what to add.

🚀 Coming Soon

  • Agent Builder Agent - Create custom swarms from a single prompt
  • OpenClaw + Claude Code integration - All agents in one place
