AI product Open source

Deft

Deft is a self-hostable, open-source workspace where people and AI agents share chat, tasks, knowledge, calendar context, approvals, and action history. Its core workflow captures discussions as durable knowledge, lets the Defty agent use workspace context to propose task details, and routes proposed agent actions through configurable approval and trust policies before recording the approved work and its receipts. It also provides real-time conversations, task views, notes, knowledge graphs, calendar features, personal MCP connections, agent employees, native workspace tools, scoped access, revocation, and provider-neutral support for hosted or local AI providers.
