Eigent

Eigent (Open Source Cowork Desktop) is presented as a desktop application where agents work side by side with the user. The page says it is powered by the model of the user's choice, turns context into finished work while keeping the user in control, and is open source, model agnostic and fully customisable. The page describes Spaces that package agents, Skills, Connectors and instructions for reuse; memory scoped to user, Space or Session; automations that run on a schedule, event or condition; remote control via browser or channels such as WhatsApp; chat and trajectory views of agent actions; scoped approvals; and an agent browser that restricts access to approved targets. For enterprises it describes self-hosted or local deployment, support for cloud, enterprise gateway, local or BYOK models, traceability with sources and file history, and team management and governance, while stating that SOC 2 readiness and GDPR compliance work remain in progress. A free open source Cowork Desktop option is listed, using the user's own API keys or local models. Downloads are listed for Mac (M chip and Intel), Windows and Linux.
