craft-agents-oss
Craft Agents is an open-source desktop AI agent application built for intuitive multitasking and document-centric workflows. It provides a beautiful GUI alternative to CLI-based agent tools, enabling users to manage multiple sessions, connect to any API or MCP server through natural language, and work with Claude, OpenAI, Google, and other LLM providers simultaneously. The platform features automatic API discovery and configuration, permission controls, background task execution, and event-driven automations—all built using the Claude Agent SDK and Pi SDK with agent-native software principles.
