Important licensing warning

The repository is available under a dual-license model.

Its README states that the AGPL version is available for personal use, learning, academic research, and open-source contribution. It also states that business use, consulting deliverables, SaaS products, internal company use, white-labeling, and reselling require a commercial license.  

Do not sell services built directly on Fincept Terminal before reviewing its latest commercial licensing terms.

What you can use it for

  • Equity research

  • Portfolio analysis

  • Risk calculations

  • Financial news monitoring

  • Economic research

  • Investment dashboards

  • Quantitative analysis

  • Paper trading

  • Market-data exploration

  • AI-assisted research

The easiest option is to download the current installer from the repository’s Releases section.

Available builds include:

  • Windows x64 installer

  • Linux x64 installer

  • macOS Apple Silicon DMG

The current repository instructions recommend the installer for most users.  

Build it from source on macOS or Linux

cd FinceptTerminal

chmod +x setup.sh

./setup.sh

The setup script checks and installs the required build dependencies, including CMake, Qt6, Python, and the compiler toolchain.  

First-use setup

After launching the application:

  1. Open the data-source settings.

  2. Connect the market-data providers you need.

  3. Add an LLM provider or configure Ollama for local models.

  4. Create a sample watchlist.

  5. Test the equity-research section.

  6. Create a sample portfolio.

  7. Explore the AI-agent and node-workflow sections.

3. OPEN GENERATIVE AI

Launch your own AI image, video, audio, and creative studio

GitHub:

Open Generative AI is an MIT-licensed creative studio that brings image, video, audio, lip-sync, workflow, and design tools into one interface.

The project lists more than 200 model options across image generation, image editing, video generation, lip sync, and other creative categories. Many hosted models use Muapi, so API usage may still create costs even though the application itself is open source.

  • AI product photography

  • Social-media content

  • Video generation

  • Image editing

  • Lip-sync videos

  • Creative advertising

  • AI influencer content

Requirements

For the development setup:

  • Node.js 18 or later

  • npm

  • Git

  • A Muapi access key for hosted models

  • Optional local model infrastructure

Users who only want to run the application can also use a prebuilt desktop release instead of building from source.  

Setup from source

Clone the repository with its submodules:

cd Open-Generative-AI

Install dependencies and build the workspace packages:

npm run setup

Launch the desktop version:

npm run electron:dev

Or launch the web version:

npm run dev

Then open:

You will be asked to add your Muapi API key when using hosted models. According to the repository, the key can be skipped when you only plan to use supported local models.  

Build a production version

For the hosted web application:

npm run build

npm run start

For a macOS desktop build:

npm run electron:build

For Windows:

npm run electron:build:win

For Linux:

5. CAMOFOX BROWSER

Give AI agents a browser they can control through an API

GitHub:

Camofox Browser is a browser server designed for agents and automation systems. It can create browser tabs, navigate pages, capture structured snapshots, click elements, type into forms, take screenshots, manage sessions, download files, and expose these capabilities through an API.  

The project describes itself as a stealth browser designed to reduce bot detection. Use it only on websites you are legally and contractually permitted to access. Do not use it to bypass authentication, paywalls, rate limits, or platform rules.

Requirements

  • Node.js

  • npm

  • Git

  • Approximately 300 MB for the browser download

  • Optional Docker

Fastest setup

Run directly with npx:

npx @askjo/camofox-browser

The server starts on port 9377 by default.

Open the API documentation:

Install from source

cd camofox-browser

npm install

npm start

The first run downloads the required Camoufox browser binary.  

OpenClaw setup

openclaw plugins install @askjo/camofox-browser

This adds browser actions such as creating tabs, navigating, clicking, typing, scrolling, capturing screenshots, and importing cookies.  

Test the API

Create a browser tab:

curl -X POST http://localhost:9377/tabs
-H “Content-Type: application/json”
-d ‘{“userId”:“agent1”,“sessionKey”:“task1”,“url”:“https://example.com”}’

The response returns a tab ID.

Request a structured snapshot:

curl “http://localhost:9377/tabs/TAB_ID/snapshot?userId=agent1”

The snapshot provides references that an agent can use to interact with visible elements.

6. HYPERFRAMES

Generate videos from HTML instead of editing timelines manually

GitHub:

HyperFrames is an open-source framework that converts HTML, CSS, media, and seekable animations into deterministic MP4 videos.

It can be used locally through a CLI or controlled by coding agents through dedicated skills. The project supports workflows for product-launch videos, website videos, social content, motion graphics, and other programmable compositions.  

Requirements

  • Node.js

  • npm or npx

  • A supported AI coding agent for the agent-driven workflow

  • HTML and CSS knowledge is useful but not mandatory

Install the agent skills

npx skills add heygen-com/hyperframes –full-depth –yes

The repository recommends using full-depth so the installer retrieves the current version from the main branch.  

Example prompt

The skills guide the agent through:

  • Planning

THE 30-DAY MONETIZATION ROADMAP

Week 1: Pick one repository and one customer

Do not try to sell all six immediately.

Choose one clear combination:

Claude Ads + ecommerce brands

Open Generative AI + content creators

HyperFrames + SaaS companies

Camofox + research teams

Vibe-Trading + finance educators

Fincept + personal learning and licensed research environments

Your offer should solve one measurable problem.

Bad offer:

“I build AI automations.”

Better offer:

“I turn your product page into 20 ready-to-test video ads every month.”

Week 2: Build a demonstration

Create one complete sample.

Your sample should include:

  • The original problem

  • Your process

  • Final deliverable

  • Time saved

  • Business value

  • Clear limitations

Do not merely record the repository running. Show the result a customer would receive.

Week 3: Package the offer

Create three packages.

Starter

A small one-time deliverable.

Growth

A larger implementation with customization.

Retainer

Ongoing monitoring, creation, reporting, or maintenance.

Use fixed pricing whenever the scope is predictable.

Week 4: Find the first customer

Contact people already experiencing the problem.

Use:

  • LinkedIn

  • Instagram

  • X

  • Founder communities

  • Local businesses

  • Your existing network

  • Cold email

  • Personalized video outreach

Outreach message:

Hey [Name], I noticed [specific observation].

I built a small system that helps [type of company] achieve [specific outcome] without [current pain].

I created a quick example for your business here: [link].

Would it be useful if I showed you how it works?

Best rule for monetizing open source

Do not sell access to code you found.

Sell:

  • Implementation

  • Configuration

  • Expertise

  • Templates

  • Customization

  • Hosting

  • Maintenance

  • Training

  • Support

  • A completed business outcome

Always check the license before charging for hosted access, reselling, white-labeling, or incorporating a repository into a commercial product.
