Eigent Open Source Cowork Desktop

Eigent Open Source Cowork is presented as a desktop application for running a multi-agent workforce. Per the page, it turns any context into finished work while keeping the user in control, and it is described as open source, model agnostic, and fully customisable. The page shows a workspace with sessions, a multi-agent progress view, execution context with skills and MCP tools, and files produced during sessions. It also describes Spaces for packaging reusable agents, Skills, and Connectors; memory scoped to user, Space, or Session; automations that run on a schedule, event, or condition; remote control from the browser or channels such as WhatsApp; chat and trajectory views; approvals; and an agent browser that restricts access to approved targets. For enterprise use, the page mentions local or self-hosted deployment, bring-your-own API keys, traceability with sources and file history, team roles and governance, and states that SOC 2 readiness and GDPR compliance work remain in progress. The page also lists downloads for Mac, Windows, and Linux.
