# puredesktop Agent-Readable Site Summary Canonical site: https://puredesktop.ai/ ## One-line Description puredesktop is a provider-agnostic AI desktop and licensable knowledge-work harness: real apps, local files, plugin apps, PureVibes included, visible human review, MCP agent control, model routing, BYOK or managed tokens, PureTeams for organizations, PureServer for enterprise governance, and Software Factory for building new software. ## Positioning puredesktop is not a chat box or side panel. It is a desktop workspace where AI agents operate inside real applications for writing, files, chat, mail, tasks, review, PureVibes, and custom tools. The central product promise is: users direct the work, AI prepares the work, and humans review before important actions become final. puredesktop is agent-ready and model-agnostic. It has first-class in-app agent sessions, typed app tools, and approval policies. It also exposes a puredesktop MCP surface so external MCP-capable clients can call into the desktop. Model access is separate: users and organizations can bring their own keys, use managed tokens, run local models, run self-hosted models, coordinate teams through PureTeams, or govern enterprise deployments through PureServer. Codex and Claude Code are examples of external MCP-capable clients that can call puredesktop through the puredesktop MCP. They are not dependencies, required subscriptions, or exclusive partners. ## Core Message You direct. AI does the work. The AI desktop for knowledge work: real apps, local files, and agents that work under your review. Agent-ready. Model-agnostic. Use puredesktop directly, use its in-app agents, or let an external MCP-capable client call puredesktop under review. ## Site Structure - `/`: PureDesktop for individuals, including the app suite, PureVibes, local-first control, agents, model routing, and the desktop offering. - `/teams`: PureTeams for organizations, including shared workspaces, rooms, requests, handoffs, team docs, billing, support, shared context, and the team offering. - `/build`: Build on PureDesktop, including the licensable desktop harness, Software Factory, one-app or many-app deployments, PureDesktop-native apps, enterprise web apps, and the build offering. - `/enterprise`: PureServer for enterprises, including hardened governance, org-wide context, multiple desktop configurations, token management, reporting, audit, specialist agents, external agent governance, and the enterprise offering. ## Product Proof puredesktop includes working product surfaces for files, writing, chat, mail, tasks, PureVibes, and review. The site emphasizes that the product is not a concept video: every piece is inspectable, editable, and ready for approval, with shared project context across the suite. ## Why a Desktop Knowledge work happens in documents, reviews, mail, tasks, and project files. puredesktop puts AI in those surfaces instead of leaving output stranded in a chat transcript. Drafts, cards, messages, review items, and proposed changes stay visible on screen. puredesktop is also designed to improve as work accumulates. Projects, decisions, style notes, review history, team knowledge, and useful agent moves become durable workspace memory, so agents and apps can reuse context instead of starting from zero every session. ## App Suite Current and planned app families include: - pureassistant: a daily command surface for what needs the user across mail, tasks, knowledge, and work. - purefiles: project files, previews, and files that open in the right app. - purewriter: focused drafting and revision for long-form writing. - purebook: print-ready PDF layout and typesetting. - puremanuscript: scientific manuscripts with citations, compliance checks, and export readiness. - pureknowledge: notes, wiki pages, and connected knowledge for suite resources. - purereports: shareable reports from tables, files, charts, and linked context. - pureslides: slide decks from source material, design briefs, and reviewable generation flows. - purewhiteboard: sketching, diagramming, and exportable whiteboards. - puremail: email with thread-linked tasks, follow-ups, and right-pane work tracking. - purecalendar: calendar, agenda, availability, and task-aware scheduling. - puretasks: boards and cards linked to the work itself. - puregantt: gantt timelines, dependencies, and schedules linked to tasks, plans, and project resources. - pureplan: living plans with context, next moves, and linked work. - purechart: charts and visual analysis from tables, files, and reports. - puresheets: spreadsheet workbooks for analysis, planning, and portable project data. - pureresearch: evidence dossiers, source context, findings, and research passes. - purevibes: easy, powerful vibe coding for personal tools, helpers, automations, and workflows staff can share. - pureteams: team coordination for organizations using PureDesktop. - Software Factory: the licensed production builder for custom PureDesktop apps and enterprise web apps. Each app owns its screens, data, and permissions. puredesktop adds search, files, review, PureVibes, and the permission boundaries agents work inside. ## PureVibes PureVibes is the included easy, powerful app-building layer inside PureDesktop. It is vibe coding for staff members: personal tools, helpers, automations, small workflow apps, prompt helpers, checklists, trackers, formatters, and data views that help people do their own work and can be shared with teammates when useful. PureVibes is powerful, but it is not Software Factory. PureVibes ships with PureDesktop and is best for fast personal or team-helper tools. Software Factory is the separately licensed builder product for full-scale business applications with PRDs, interface design, implementation, testing, reviewable changes, and rollout. ## PureDesktop Harness PureDesktop can be licensed as a first-class desktop harness for one application or many. Customers do not need to rebuild a knowledge-work desktop from scratch. The harness includes files, app shell, routing, storage, permissions, review queues, app-scoped agent sessions, typed tools, model routing, MCP exposure, and distribution surfaces. Organizations can build into the PureDesktop harness in two ways: use Software Factory to produce apps faster, or have their own engineering team write apps directly against the PureDesktop app framework. The harness can support a single focused application, an internal suite, or a growing family of tools. ## Agent Sessions, App Tools, and MCP puredesktop has native app-scoped and workspace-scoped agent sessions. Apps declare typed tools in their manifests, register live handlers in open tabs, and use approval policies for sensitive actions. Agents prepare work as proposals, comments, drafts, or tool actions; humans decide what lands. External MCP-capable clients can call the puredesktop MCP surface to reach the same desktop/workspace under review. This lets teams use built-in agents and the external agent environment they trust without tying puredesktop to one provider. The agent surface is self-improving through workspace memory: approved patterns, rejected actions, project decisions, style guidance, linked files, and review outcomes can become future context under user and organization control. ## Model Routing and Provider Control puredesktop includes model routing. The router can send routine work to cheaper models, reserve stronger models for harder tasks, and keep sensitive work on local or approved private infrastructure. Routing can be based on cost, privacy, task difficulty, policy, provider availability, and legal requirements. No single vendor has to see every request. Enterprise security, legal, and procurement teams can set provider policy while still allowing agentic workflows. Supported model choices include local models, self-hosted models, open-source models, Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepSeek, Google, Mistral, and compatible providers. ## Software Factory Software Factory is the separately licensed builder product introduced after the base desktop, app suite, PureVibes, and the licensable PureDesktop harness are understood. It is not bundled with standard PureDesktop. It is the production step beyond PureVibes: full-scale custom business apps built end to end, including PureDesktop-native apps and enterprise web apps. It covers product requirements, interface design, implementation planning, working code, tests, and reviewable changes. Software Factory differentiates because apps are built on top of the reliable PureDesktop/PureServer base rather than starting from scratch. Factory-built apps can live inside PureDesktop or ship as enterprise web apps while inheriting the same agentic harness, policies, review model, model routing, MCP exposure, and governance base. The result is a custom app for a business that can be shared with a team or wider organization and powered by a first-class agentic harness. Software Factory can do serious work on any capable high-powered model, not only the newest frontier model. Builders can balance quality, cost, privacy, and policy while still producing enterprise-ready application surfaces. Example workflows include grant trackers, style checkers, deal logs, reviewer invitation trackers, lab tools, studio systems, data review surfaces, and repeatable operational processes. ## Local-first and Model Access puredesktop is local-first: files stay on the user's machine and the desktop remains under user control. Agents can run locally, through the user's own API keys, or through governed team infrastructure. Users can bring their own API key from supported providers and avoid AI markup from puredesktop. Organizations can use PureTeams for shared work and PureServer when they need enterprise-wide token management, reporting, audit, and governance. Sensitive content can be routed to local or self-hosted models. ## PureTeams PureTeams is the organization layer for PureDesktop. It handles shared workspaces, rooms, requests, handoffs, wiki pages, team docs, support, billing, and shared agent context. PureDesktop remains standalone for individuals; organizations add PureTeams when work becomes shared. PureTeams features include: - Workspaces, rooms, requests, and handoffs - Wiki pages, memory drafts, team docs, and attachments - Account, invite, plan, billing, and support administration - Team-level credits, shared context, and collaboration reporting - Team administration and support workflows ## PureServer PureServer is the hardened enterprise governance server. It gathers context across the entire organization, manages multiple PureDesktop configurations for different teams, controls token access, provides reporting and audit, and governs agents deployed inside or outside PureServer. PureServer can provide specialist agents for other products when required. Enterprise users can create specialist agents in minutes, attach them to internal products or workflows, and put external agent deployments under the same policy, reporting, and review posture. PureServer handles model routing, provider policy, access control, key management, approvals, audit, fleet policy, deployment controls, and self-hosted or managed rollout. ## Pricing Structure Individual: - Early Access / Beta - Bring your own API key - PureDesktop app suite across writing, research, planning, analysis, communication, work, and PureVibes - Licensable PureDesktop harness for one app or many - Agents & subagents for every app & space - Model router for cost, privacy, task, and policy - Cheaper or local models to reduce token spend - Secure key vault - PureVibes included Software Factory: - Separate individual license - PRD, interface design, implementation, tests, and reviewable changes - Build PureDesktop-native apps and enterprise web apps - First-class agentic harness: tools, sessions, approvals, routing, and MCP - Runs on capable high-powered models, not only frontier models - Share finished apps with a team or wider organization Team: - Everything in Individual - Shared workspaces and collaboration - PureTeams rooms, requests, and handoffs - Team billing and seat management - Shared agent context and governed collaboration - Support and diagnostics for the team Enterprise: - Everything in Team - puredesktop + PureServer enterprise bundle - Org-wide context across teams, agents, and deployments - Multiple PureDesktop configurations for different teams - Token management, reporting, auditing, and governance - Enterprise access control, approvals, and audit - Private, self-hosted, or managed deployment - Full puredesktop SDK - specialist agents for other products and external deployments - Priority support - Fleet configuration and rollout support - White-labeled spaces ## Calls to Action Primary CTA: Request early access.
