Wabby

Waku is a native desktop app for working with local coding agents. Built in Rust with GPUI, it keeps projects, sessions, transcripts, and application state on the user's machine, while detecting supported agent CLIs and using each provider's native structured protocol and session continuity. Its interface supports independent project sessions, model and reasoning settings, queued or directed follow-up messages, and Git-backed task rewind with conversation-aware checkpoints. The desktop app communicates with a standalone waku-daemon over an authenticated, versioned WebSocket protocol. The daemon manages task data in SQLite, attachments, provider-native session forks, workspace files, and Git operations; a browser client uses the same generated protocol. Waku is distributed for macOS, Linux, and Windows, with no Waku account or remote service required.

Waku Agent is an open-source, local-first personal assistant and AI-agent harness built by seanchen.io. It runs on a laptop through a terminal, local browser dashboard, voice input, or Telegram gateway, and is organized around four components: a harness for tool execution, an approximately 95-line plain-Python agent loop, memory, and evaluation/LLM operations. Its memory uses semantic, episodic, and procedural stores in a local SQLite database, with a gate that decides whether to retrieve or save memory and a pass that determines what to retain. The project includes deterministic tests alongside LLM-as-judge evaluation with a release gate. The dashboard displays message flow through the harness, including gate decisions, tool calls, loop iterations, memory updates, traces, costs, and latency; it also includes views for workflows, tools and MCP connectors, memory, and the SQLite state database. It can be installed with pip and exposes the `waku` command. The dashboard runs a local web server at `127.0.0.1:7777`, and the Telegram gateway starts when `TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN` is configured. Model providers are selected through a provider setting and API key, with support stated for Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, DeepSeek, MiniMax, Kimi, GLM, OpenRouter, OpenCode Zen, and OpenCode Go.

CowAgent is an open-source AI assistant and agent harness developed by LinkAI. It plans complex tasks step by step, runs tools and skills, controls computers and external services, maintains long-term memory and a personal knowledge base, and supports multi-agent teams with separate roles, models, skills, knowledge, and workspaces. Its architecture routes messages from web and messaging channels through an agent core that reasons over available models, tools, skills, memory, and knowledge before returning a response. Memory uses a three-tier structure of conversation context, daily memory, and long-term MEMORY.md, with a nightly Deep Dream process that distills memories; the knowledge base is an automatically curated Markdown wiki with cross-references and a browsable knowledge graph. Built-in tools include file and terminal operations, web fetching and search, scheduling, memory retrieval, vision, and browser automation, while MCP servers can be added through configuration. Skills can be installed from the Skill Hub, GitHub, ClawHub, or URLs, or authored through conversation. CowAgent supports multiple LLM providers and routes chat, vision, image generation, speech, and embedding workloads separately. It can run locally, in Docker, on a server, or through its macOS and Windows desktop client, with a web console for configuration and a command-line interface for service and skill management. The project is licensed under the MIT License and was formerly named chatgpt-on-wechat.

waggle is an open-source reference layer for handing off artifacts between AI agents. It replaces pasted files with compact, approximately 30-byte tokens that resolve into an agent-specific view while preserving attribution and recording which parts were read. The token travels without automatically expanding the underlying artifact. Resolve, read, and search operations return only the requested projection or slice within byte budgets, and corrections can propagate to token holders. waggle is MCP-native and runs as an MCP server for agent tools.

Multi-Agent Workbench is a local-first browser control room for orchestrating coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex CLI, and generic PTY-based command-line agents. Agents work in task rooms under editable YAML role cards that define permissions, speaking style, and decision boundaries; a rule-driven orchestrator pauses execution and risky commands for human approval, while persistent sessions expose terminal activity and status. The system uses a local event-driven architecture with a React interface, Fastify backend, REST API, server-sent events, agent adapters, an approval service, and a SQLite event store. Every action passes through the API and is recorded in an append-only event log, whose events are projected into timelines, decisions, terminal views, artifacts, and diff views. It also provides task templates, Markdown reports and decision logs, real-time room updates, and configurable risk resolutions. Code-writing agents are intended to use isolated Git worktrees, with diff and patch review before changes reach the main workspace; the repository marks this worktree and merge flow as in progress.
