Verify the file, not the claim.
Slides, documents, spreadsheets and web pages land in your workspace so you can open, inspect and revise them.
LOCAL-FIRST · OPEN SOURCE · BYOK
Turn your material into files you can use.
OpenWorkBuddy is a local-first AI office workbench. Give it a request and your material; it plans, works and checks the result, then hands you a real file on your machine to inspect and revise.

The local-first difference
Useful when the work has to be real.
Your machine. Your engines.
Bring cloud models, Ollama, Claude Code or Codex. Sessions, files and API keys stay under your control.
One Markdown file is a capability.
Drop in a Skill, connect MCP tools or read and change the JavaScript Agent loop. No framework maze required.
Creative infinite canvas
Start with an idea. Keep creating on the canvas.
Start an image or video, import assets, edit prompts and references on cards, compare versions and export your work. Open Agent when needed; short-drama workflows also organize scripts, characters, scenes and shots.
One workbench, several entry points
Built for making, learning and extending.
Real file delivery
PPT, Word, Excel, HTML, Markdown and media outputs with a results panel for inspection.
