What it is
A local-first visual AI workbench that turns one goal into editable code, documents, presentations, websites, designs, and videos—an open alternative to Codex and Claude Code. It provides agents one workspace for repositories, local files, browser tasks, documents, presentations, websites, design, and video. Output remains editable rather than final files or transcripts.
How it works
Agent-first execution plans work, uses tools, reads and modifies files, runs commands, and continues from the current state. Results are editable across formats (code, documents, web pages, designs, and video). You inspect the work, approve actions, and keep editing in the same place. Local control allows you to bring your own model/provider and extend the workspace with Skills, plugins, MCP servers, and browser automation.

Caveats
License: iPolloWork Source Available License 1.0; terms restrict use by larger groups and require authorization for many commercial uses. The README notes a source-available license rather than OSI-approved open source. Documentation specifies requirements for development and packaging, including Node.js 22+, pnpm, Bun, and platform-specific tooling. Installation instructions reference official GitHub Releases for installers. The repository lists various three build paths and platform-specific packaging details.
