7×24 Desktop AI Agent for Everyone. Visual AI assistant with remote access, file management, and built-in AI browser.

What it solves

Halo is an AI workstation designed to move beyond simple chat interfaces by providing a local, autonomous environment where AI agents can perform complex tasks without constant human supervision. It solves the problem of rigid automation (like traditional RPA) by combining AI decision-making with reliable, script-based browser actions, allowing for 24/7 autonomous operation of web-based tasks.

How it works

Halo uses a pluggable engine architecture that supports frontier models like Claude Code and Codex. It operates as a local desktop application that integrates an embedded browser (via CDP) and a system of "Browser Actions"—reusable JavaScript scripts that handle the actual execution of tasks on specific platforms. The AI decides what to do and when, while the scripts ensure the operation is performed reliably. It also includes a scheduler for "AI Digital Humans" to run these tasks on a set frequency, and provides remote access so users can manage their AI fleet via mobile devices or enterprise IMs like WeChat/WeCom.

Who it’s for

  • Individuals and Teams looking to automate repetitive web-based workflows (e.g., social media management, research, or reporting).
  • Enterprise Users who require 100% local data residency for compliance and zero-configuration deployment.
  • Developers who want to build and share autonomous AI agents using the Digital Human Protocol (DHP) and custom Browser Actions.

Highlights

  • AI Digital Humans: Autonomous agents that run scheduled tasks 24/7 without needing a user present.
  • AI Browser: An embedded browser directly controlled by the AI to automate any web-based system.
  • 100% Local: Data remains on the machine, removing cloud dependency and meeting enterprise security requirements.
  • Remote Access: Ability to control the workstation and approve AI decisions from a phone or H5 client.
  • Pluggable Engine: Compatible with Claude Code's Agent capabilities, MCP, and Skills.
  • Digital Human Store: A marketplace to install ready-made autonomous agents and browser actions.
