What it does
Asyncat is an AI-native workspace. Pick your modules, skip the bloat, and chat with your projects.
asyncat — open-source AI workspace. Self-host the full stack on your own hardware.
217 tools. 51 skills. Self-improving. Desktop automation. Fully offline. asyncat is a native desktop application powered by Electron. Unlike minimalist frameworks that give the model three tools and pray, asyncat dumps a context-heavy toolbox of 217 tools directly into the context window and expects the LLM to figure it out. Click buttons, read text from screenshots, type into any window, focus applications. asyncat is the only open-source AI agent with real desktop automation — not just a chatbot. The Basal Ganglia engine tracks repeated tool sequences across sessions. After 3 successful uses, it auto-generates a new skill — no annotation required. The agent gets better the more you use…from asyncat.com

I made a built-from scratch Wayland Compositor to display any GUI app* in the terminal! I think there is a lot of unexplored potential in custom Wayland compositors, a lot of really cool things you can embed existing applications into! So, I started with embedding apps into the terminal because that is the easiest input/output (output is just utf-8 and I use the great `chafa` library for that, and I just read from stdin for the input). If you have any other ideas for cool Wayland compositors, let me know. I purposedly wrote 80% the app in Typescript to appeal to the most developers and…

Years ago I stumbled across a basic version of this concept and it stuck with me. I knew if I was ever going to take on such a project, it would need to be flawless, but without coding experience it was just another idea that would never happen. By the end of 2024, as AI coding tools exploded everywhere, I finally had a way to make it real. I started from zero knowledge and spent months collaborating with AI agents as a learning experience. Every pixel and every function went through me. The AI translated what I asked for into code, but every decision was human. I didn't use existing OS…
