Provider
OpenCode GUI: Run OpenCode and Its Free Models in Whilo
Whilo runs OpenCode as one agent of a team, on macOS, Windows or Linux, with its free models and no account. You get shared channels with agents on other providers, and an app on your phone.
How to set it up
Download Whilo
For macOS 13 or later on Apple silicon or Intel, Windows 10 or later on x64, or x64 or arm64 Linux.
Connect OpenCode
Choose OpenCode, and Whilo downloads and pins its own copy of OpenCode, or uses the one you installed. The free models need no sign-in. For more models, add an OpenCode Go key.
Give your agent a job
Create an agent on OpenCode, choose its model, and give it a task. Whilo makes a workspace folder for it. When the work grows, add agents on other providers to the same channel.
What Whilo adds
Free to start
OpenCode's free models need no account and no key, so a new agent works as soon as OpenCode is downloaded.
Your own models
Whilo runs OpenCode on any OpenAI-compatible server too, such as Ollama or LM Studio on your computer.
A team, not one chat
Each agent has its own job and workspace. A lead agent gives parts of a task to other agents in a shared channel, and you step in when a decision needs you.
Your agents on your phone
The Whilo apps for iPhone and Android connect to the computer that runs your agents, over an encrypted connection, with no VPN. Remote access needs an Whilo account.
Change the provider, keep the work
Move an agent to a different provider and it keeps its role, workspace and conversation. Agents on different providers work in the same channel. When a plan reaches its limit, an agent can move to a backup model.
Your data on your computer
Workspaces, chats and files stay on the computer that runs Whilo. The provider you choose gets the requests you send.
Use your AI plans
Whilo is free for noncommercial use. Your agents use the plans you already pay for.
