OpenBB

Today, we’re sharing a difficult update. OpenBB is winding down as a company. At the same time, we are committing to release the OpenBB product suite under a permissive open-source license.

That includes OpenBB Workspace, OpenBB Copilot, OpenBB Excel Add-in, and Open Data Platform.

OpenBB began as an open-source project built to give people and firms more control over their investment-research environments. Over the past five years, it grew into products used across financial data, research workflows, AI, and an ecosystem of applications created by our partners and community.

We were not able to build a sustainable business around that vision. But the technology the team built should not disappear.

The open-source releases will allow developers, data providers, individuals, and financial institutions to use, modify, deploy, and build on the OpenBB stack. We are still finalizing the release order, license details, repository structure, and long-term stewardship of each project. We will share more as that work is completed.

To every customer, contributor, partner, investor, and former teammate: thank you. You shaped OpenBB and helped create work that will continue beyond the company.

In 2024, we built OpenBB Workspace Pro for firms that need enterprise infrastructure.

Along the way, we kept meeting another kind of team: family offices, boutique funds, emerging managers, all with a real need to distribute analytics and AI workflows, but not looking for a massive commitment.

So today we’re introducing OpenBB Workspace Lite.

A self-hosted edition of Workspace for small teams that want to combine their data, distribute it among colleagues, and run AI agents on top, without the enterprise overhead.

No sales calls, no procurement cycle. Subscribe today, run it in your own environment, and your team is working with it this week.

Earnings calls carry signal months before analysts finish reading them.

Lexfi just launched on the OpenBB App Marketplace, turning management tone, central bank pressers, and news sentiment into daily numbers you can actually backtest.

Your team already has applications that do real work. Streamlit dashboards, internal portfolio tools, risk monitor apps. The new OpenBB iframe widget lets you bring those applications into OpenBB Workspace without rebuilding them from scratch.

In the video, a Streamlit portfolio app runs directly inside Workspace, feeling like a native part of the workspace.

The app can also:
→ Receive shared dashboard parameters, such as tickers, dates, and filters
→ Send its data into standalone Workspace widgets
→ Refresh its UI after an agent triggers a state-changing action
→ Connect MCP tools automatically, giving OpenBB Copilot or another agent access to the app’s data and actions

So your team can keep the app it knows, while adding shared dashboards and an agent that can work with the underlying workflow.
