Description and use

It is Apache-2.0 licensed, built on CAMEL-AI, and puts a multi-agent workforce on your own machine: parallel agents, local model inference through vLLM, Ollama or LM Studio, plus browser and terminal toolkits. For one person who wants a Cowork-style desktop app, it is a real option — and it is genuinely open source.</p> <p>The question I have been running against it is the one that arrives later: what happens when the work stops being one person's?</p> <h2> A desktop app is the right shape for one operator </h
