What it is
Kun is a local-first AI agent workspace that combines coding, writing, design, research, and automation in one platform. It provides a shared runtime for both GUI desktop and terminal TUI, enabling end-to-end task workflows from clarification to delivery.
How it works
Kun offers a unified runtime that connects desktop GUI and TUI interfaces. It supports modes such as Direct for simple tasks and Agent Graph for complex, cross-file workflows with task graphs, supervision, and acceptance criteria. It includes features for plans, todos, memory, sub-agents, and tool integration, managed under a common provider framework for models and providers.
