Agent Cowork is an open-source alternative to Claude Cowork — a desktop AI assistant that helps with programming, file management, and any task you can describe.
Not just a GUI.
A real AI collaboration partner.
No need to learn the Claude Agent SDK — just create tasks and choose execution paths.
Claude Code is powerful — but it only runs in the terminal.
That means:
- ❌ No visual feedback for complex tasks
- ❌ Hard to track multiple sessions
- ❌ Tool outputs are inconvenient to inspect
Agent Cowork solves these problems:
- 🖥️ Runs as a native desktop application
- 🤖 Acts as your AI collaboration partner for any task
- 🔁 Reuses your existing
~/.claude/settings.json - No development environment or Claude Code installation required.
- Bun or Node.js 22+
- Claude Code installed and authenticated
