OpenFrame v0.7.8 is live. Here's what shipped, what it means for your stack, and where we're headed.
For those catching up: OpenFrame is an AI-native MSP platform that replaces the patchwork of vendor tools most MSPs run – RMM, ticketing, monitoring, remote access, MDM – with one unified system. Self-host it for free or run it managed. v0.7.8 builds on that foundation with a tighter API layer, smarter AI agents, more deployment flexibility, and the developer experience that's attracting over 1,800 MSPs to the platform platform.
One API Instead of Eight
The biggest architectural win in v0.7.8 is the unified API. Instead of juggling separate interfaces for every tool in your stack, you get one consistent API across RMM, ticketing, monitoring, and remote access.
For MSPs migrating off ConnectWise or Kaseya, this changes the math on integration work. You're not swapping five vendor APIs for five open-source APIs – you're replacing them with one. OpenFrame handles the orchestration underneath, translating your requests into the right calls to osquery for endpoint visibility, Zabbix for monitoring, and MeshCentral for remote access.
The API follows OpenAPI 3.0 specs, so generating client libraries in whatever language your team uses is straightforward. Build custom workflows, pull device inventory into your own dashboards, or automate ticket routing – all through the same endpoints with consistent auth and error handling.
AI Agents: Fae and Mingo
v0.7.8 includes two AI agents that split the work between client-facing and backend operations.
Fae handles intake. When an end user reports an issue, Fae processes the natural language input, pulls context from the system – logs, screenshots, device info – and creates a structured ticket. That cuts the back-and-forth your techs normally spend on triage.
Mingo handles execution. It generates scripts in PowerShell, Bash, or Python based on the task, using retrieval-augmented generation trained on common MSP remediation patterns. Every generated script gets logged and can be reviewed before it runs. No black boxes.
Honest assessment: the AI agents are strong on L1 and L2 tasks – password resets, disk cleanup, basic troubleshooting, patch management. Complex scenarios still need a human in the loop. We're building Fae and Mingo as force multipliers for your techs, not replacements. The agents can run locally or connect to external LLM providers, depending on your security requirements and budget.
Deployment: Your Call
Three options, same platform:
Self-hosted (free): Deploy the full platform on your infrastructure using Kubernetes or Docker Compose. Helm charts and infrastructure-as-code templates are in the GitHub repo. You get complete control over data residency, customization, and scaling – which matters if you're dealing with compliance requirements.
Managed: Flamingo runs it for you with per-device pricing. Automatic updates, monitoring, and support included. You still get full API access and the ability to extend functionality.
Hybrid: Run sensitive data and core services on-prem while offloading components like AI agents to Flamingo's managed environment. Useful for organizations navigating regulatory gray areas.
The platform uses a microservices architecture, so each component – RMM, ticketing, monitoring, AI agents – runs independently. Scale what you need, leave the rest alone.
What Ships in the Core
OpenFrame v0.7.8 includes modules that would normally require separate vendor subscriptions:
RMM – Built on osquery for cross-platform endpoint visibility. Real-time device inventory, patch management, and remote command execution across Windows, macOS, and Linux. The query interface lets you write SQL-like queries against your entire fleet.
Ticketing and PSA – Purpose-built for multi-tenant MSP environments with SLA tracking, time tracking, client portal, and billing integration hooks. Not a generic ticketing system bolted onto an MSP workflow.
Monitoring and alerting – Prometheus and Grafana integration with pre-built dashboards for common MSP scenarios. The alerting engine ties into the ticketing system for automatic ticket creation.
Remote access – Browser-based connections through Apache Guacamole with session recording and audit logging. No client software needed.
MDM – iOS and Android device management, including app deployment and configuration profiles.
SIEM – Security event correlation pulling data from endpoints, network devices, and cloud services into one view.
Each module plugs into the unified API, so you get both granular control per tool and system-wide consistency.
What's Next
Here's where OpenFrame is headed:
Multi-platform integration – The adapter architecture we built for FleetDM integration extends to other device management backends. Same declarative policy interface, more platforms underneath.
Policy composition – We're expanding the policy language to support inheritance, composition, and templating. Reusable components that can be composed into complex configurations without duplication.
Community extensions – We're opening extension points for community-contributed policy libraries, custom reconciliation logic, and integration adapters. The architecture supports this without compromising core stability.
These aren't vague roadmap slides. They're direct extensions of the infrastructure decisions already made in v0.7.8.
OpenFrame is free to self-host. Spin it up from GitHub, break it, deploy it. If you want the managed version or have questions, the OpenMSP Slack community has 200+ MSPs sharing implementation patterns and troubleshooting in real time.
