Stack-Cairn/LiveAgent

A fully functional AI Agent desktop client that supports Webui access and can be creatively customized and expanded!

What it solves

LiveAgent provides a local-first AI agent desktop client that bridges the gap between LLM reasoning and actual system operation. It allows users to move beyond simple chat interfaces by giving an AI agent the ability to interact directly with the local file system, execute shell commands, and manage background tasks while maintaining privacy and local control.

How it works

The system consists of a desktop application (built with Tauri, Rust, and React) and an optional remote gateway (built with Go). The desktop app handles the core logic, including model routing for providers like Claude, OpenAI, and Gemini, and manages local tool execution. It uses the MCP (Model Context Protocol) to bridge external tools and supports "Skills" packages for extended functionality. For users who want remote access, the Go-based Gateway acts as a protocol relay using WebSockets and Protobuf, allowing the local agent to be controlled via a web browser without the API keys ever leaving the local machine.

Who it’s for

It is designed for developers and power users who want an AI agent that can perform real work on their local machine—such as editing files, running dev servers, and automating tasks—either locally or via a secure remote connection.

Highlights

  • Local Tool Execution: Full file system access (read/write/edit/delete) and Bash command execution with supervision of long-running processes.
  • MCP & Skills Ecosystem: Native bridging for MCP servers and on-demand loading of Skills packages.
  • Remote Gateway: Optional Go-based relay for browser-based remote control of the local agent.
  • Sub-agent Delegation: Ability to spawn independent sub-agents that work in parallel with isolated worktrees and automatic merging.
  • Persistent Memory: Integrated Markdown and SQLite FTS for cross-session knowledge management.
  • Multi-Model Support: Compatible with Claude, Codex, and Gemini, including support for custom Base URLs.

    AIDotNet/OpenCowork

    OpenCowork is an open‑source desktop (Electron + .NET) platform that lets LLM‑based agents work directly on your local files, shell, and repositories. It supports multi‑agent teams, integrates with many chat services, offers five interaction modes (chat, clarify, cowork, code, acp), and provides a rich toolbox (file/shell access, browser automation, task/cron management, CodeGraph indexing, skill extensions). The same native .NET worker powers both the GUI and a terminal‑based CLI, keeping a single authoritative agent loop. Quick start requires Node ≥ 18 and .NET 11 SDK; builds are available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Use cases include autonomous coding, scheduled ops, research/report generation, remote SSH tasks, and media‑pipeline design. Licensed under Apache 2.0.
