pinvou-agent is an agent framework - Open-source desktop AI agent for tools, files, knowledge, workflows, and real deliverables.

OverviewLink to this section

An open-source desktop AI agent workspace for work, design, and coding.

Pinvou Agent is more than a chat window. It brings everyday work, visual design, and software development into one desktop workspace — designed for tasks that should end with a result, not just another chat response. Use tools, work with files, and build personal knowledge; bring a dedicated coding agent into a real project over ACP; or turn a prompt into a visual artifact you can continue editing.

Use a local model for a fully private loop, connect any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, and extend the agent with MCP servers, CLI connectors, Skills, and workflows.

Combine attachments, personal knowledge, specialist personas, Skills, MCP tools, and workflows to research, analyze, write, and deliver reusable files — not just another block of chat text.

Create posters and data visualizations in natural language. Open the result in design mode, select elements directly, and adjust copy, fonts, colors, dimensions, and layout — or keep describing changes and let the agent iterate on the current design.

pinvou-agent is open-source, written primarily in Rust, with 3,010 GitHub stars under the MIT license. It was last updated on 2026-11-13.

Key capabilitiesLink to this section

From the project's documentation:

• Multi-session workspace with title search — messages, tool calls, and artifacts persist with each session
• Attachments for PDF, Office documents, images, and text — drag, drop, or paste them in
• Editable Markdown artifacts — edit directly, or select a passage and ask the agent to revise it
• Plan / YOLO modes — review the plan first for complex work, or execute directly when the task is clear
• Memory center captures long-term preferences and context, with explicit candidate review and confirmation
• Persona card pool — create, save, and apply specialist roles for different domains

How it fits a local-AI stackLink to this section

pinvou-agent runs on your own hardware, so pair it with a model and a GPU sized to your needs. Use the VRAM calculator to pick a model that fits your card, and see what you can run for hardware guidance. Related agent frameworks in the directory:
