It handles everything from file management and data analysis to PPT creation, video generation, web research, email sending, and custom dashboards — delivering ready-to-use results without coding.

Built as an Electron desktop app with React frontend, it emphasizes local-first execution, persistent memory via SQLite, and user-controlled permissions.
