Score: 6.3/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 7, Documentation: 5, Utility: 6)

Bees is an open-source desktop application that lets users run teams of AI agents locally on their own computers, with a thread-based architecture for coordinating work, independent review stages, and human approval before external actions. It uses a peer-to-peer sync model where each thread has a single owning client backed by SQLite and content-addressed storage, and supports multi-device sharing via a relay server without a central work database.

Target audience: developers, technical users, and small teams wanting private, self-hosted AI agent automation
