EKKOLearnAI/ekko-studio

Ekko Studio is a local-first AI workspace for multi-agent chat, coding, and visual workflows, available on desktop and the web.

What it solves

Ekko Studio provides a unified, local-first workspace for managing multiple AI agents, coding assistants, and complex AI workflows. It eliminates the need to switch between disparate tools by integrating various agent runtimes, coding-agent CLIs, and communication platforms into a single interface.

How it works

It acts as a central control plane and runtime manager that connects to different agent backends (like Hermes Agent and Ekko Agent) and 14 different coding-agent integrations (including Claude Code and DeepSeek Harness). It uses a local SQLite database for session management and provides a visual canvas for building executable workflows with approval gates and loops. The system can be deployed as a desktop app, a self-hosted web console, or via Docker.

Who it’s for

Developers and AI power users who want to orchestrate multiple specialized agents, automate repetitive tasks via visual workflows, and maintain local control over their AI sessions and data.

Highlights

  • Multi-Agent Integration: Supports a wide array of coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, DeepSeek Harness, etc.) and general agents in one workspace.
  • Visual Workflows: A Vue Flow-based canvas to build directed agent steps with success/failure routes and human approval gates.
  • Platform Channels: Unified configuration for 10 platforms including Telegram, Discord, Slack, and WhatsApp.
  • Local-First Tooling: Includes a built-in file browser, web terminal, and a desktop-only agent browser for AI-assisted web navigation.
  • Comprehensive Analytics: Tracks token usage, estimated costs, and model distribution across sessions.
  • Multi-Profile Management: Allows creation and switching of isolated Hermes profiles for different projects or users.

    Local Studio is a desktop UI (fork of T3 Code) that lets you run and manage self‑hosted LLMs. It bundles a controller that discovers any OpenAI‑compatible inference server on your machine, re‑exports it via a unified gateway, and can link multiple machines over Tailscale so models on any host are reachable from the UI. Includes extra providers (Pi, Oh My Pi) and one‑click controller installation on Linux/macOS.

    Clay Studio is a self‑hosted web workspace that lets humans and locally‑installed AI coding agents (Claude, Codex, Copilot CLI, etc.) collaborate in shared, persistent sessions. It runs a Node daemon on your machine, serves a browser UI, stores project state on disk, and routes requests to the agents’ own CLIs, keeping code and context under your control while enabling real‑time teamwork and background automation.

    OpenHands/OpenHands

    A self-hosted developer control center for managing coding agents and automations, allowing users to run multiple AI agents across local, remote, and cloud backends.

    MindWorkAI/AI-Studio

    MindWork AI Studio is a free cross‑platform desktop app that lets users chat with many LLM providers (cloud or local), use pre‑built assistants, run tool‑enabled RAG, and manage settings centrally for enterprises. It runs on low‑cost hardware, supports voice transcription, and is released under a functional source license that becomes MIT after two years.

    hermes-hq/hermes-ide

    Hermes IDE is a cross‑platform desktop app that lets you run multiple code‑generation agents (Claude, Codex, Copilot, etc.) side‑by‑side, each in its own real terminal and Git worktree. It provides inbox notifications, per‑turn diffs, a Review Desk for merging, and optional structured Claude‑view UI, all built with Tauri, React and Rust.
