features:
  - title: AI Super App / Everything App
    details: CoWork OS keeps coding, email, research, documents, spreadsheets, presentations, web pages, PDFs, memory, skills, providers, approvals, channels, devices, and automations in one local-first governed workspace.
  - title: GUI-First Agent Management
    details: Create reusable agents, spawn parallel work, inspect delegated runs, assign tasks, review approvals, and monitor many agents through Agents Hub, Mission Control, task timelines, and visual boards, while still having a terminal-native entrypoint for fast local runs.
  - title: First-Class CoWork CLI
    details: Type `cowork` for the interactive terminal UI or `cowork run "task"` for a local one-shot run. The default CLI path shares local desktop profile, provider, workspace, skills, and MCP settings without requiring a Control Plane token; remote mode is explicit.
  - title: One App For Daily Work
    details: Use one app instead of separate coding, mail, browser, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint workflows for everyday agentic work.
  - title: Everything Workbench
    details: Generated documents, spreadsheets, decks, web pages, PDFs, and file outputs live beside the agent. Open artifacts in the app, edit or review them, and ask for follow-up changes without defaulting to separate office apps.
  - title: Real Terminal Tabs
    details: xterm.js + node-pty terminal tabs bring native macOS shell and Windows cmd sessions into the workspace, with Tab completion, arrows, Ctrl+C, interactive prompts, resize, closeable tabs, and cwd-only prompts. Coding, direct CLI work, agent runs, artifacts, browser testing, approvals, and automations can stay in one super-app surface.
  - title: Production Runtime
    details: Local-first runtime with approvals, guardrails, and governance controls for production agent workflows.
  - title: Linux Server Package
    details: GitHub Releases can ship a Linux x64 server tarball for VPS/systemd installs, with built daemon assets, full resources, connector runtimes, checksum verification, Control Plane smoke tests, and fail-closed managed deployment posture checks. It runs `coworkd-node` without launching the desktop UI.
  - title: 35 LLM Provider Options
    details: Connect to Claude, GPT, Gemini, Ollama, OpenRouter, Grok through xAI API keys or SuperGrok OAuth, and more. Bring your own keys, use supported subscription logins, switch models per task or workflow phase, use OpenRouter Pareto Code/Nitro for coding-score-based routing, and get default-on prompt caching on supported routes.
  - title: 17 Messaging Channels
    details: WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack, iMessage, Teams, Google Chat, Feishu/Lark, WeCom, and more. Chat with your AI from anywhere, with channel/chat/thread specialization for workspace, agent role, prompt guidance, tool policy, and shared-memory opt-in.
  - title: Chat Mode
    details: Direct LLM chat with no tools by default, same-session follow-ups, chat-only streaming for supported providers, and a narrow read-only analysis exception for uploaded PDF turns that need deeper document reading.
  - title: Side Chat
    details: Ask questions about an active running session from the right side panel without steering or stopping the parent task. Side Chat uses a read-only side fork with hidden parent context, live status snapshots for progress questions, a side-only visible transcript, and Markdown-rendered answers.
  - title: Runtime Visibility
    details: Visible learning progression after each task, unified recall across tasks/messages/files, persistent shell sessions, and live provider routing/fallback status.
  - title: Structured Memory
    details: Local archive memories now have inspectable observation metadata, progressive index/timeline/detail recall tools, Memory Hub privacy controls, deterministic rebuild status, and soft-delete suppression.
  - title: Rich Artifact Previews
    details: Format-aware in-app preview popup for HTML, Markdown, code (with syntax highlighting), JSON tree view, CSV/TSV tables, XLSX, DOCX, PDF, images (fit/actual-size toggle, dimensions, alpha checkerboard), video, audio (with duration), LaTeX, and PPTX. Each format adapts the modal width, header subtitle metadata, and per-format actions; Copy path / Show in Finder / Open externally / Close are unified across every format.
  - title: Smart PDF Attachments
    details: Uploaded PDFs are copied into the workspace, summarized with page/extraction/OCR metadata and an untrusted-content boundary, then read on demand with parse_document for summaries, Q&A, extraction, comparison, and transformation. Visual PDF layout questions stay on read_pdf_visual.
  - title: Video Attachments
    details: Uploaded MP4, MOV, and WebM files are copied into the workspace, sampled into representative frames, and sent to image-capable models as visual input. CoWork stores contact sheets and representative full frames under `.cowork/video-frames/...` and shows them inline in the task timeline as image artifacts.
  - title: Spreadsheet Artifacts
    details: Task-created spreadsheet files render as compact artifact cards. Excel workbooks and CSV/TSV open into a persisted resizable right sidebar by default; Numbers, Google Sheets shortcut, ODS, and XLSB outputs keep external-app/folder actions. Editable sheets can expand into a fullscreen spreadsheet workbench with selection, copy, zoom, add row/column, save, model picker, voice input, attachments, and follow-up task context.
  - title: Document Artifacts
    details: Task-created Word-style files render as compact artifact cards. DOCX opens directly into an editable right-sidebar document surface with Google Docs-style controls, save, copy, fullscreen mode, model picker, voice input, attachments, and follow-up task context; DOC, RTF, ODT, OTT, Pages, and related formats get best-effort preview or external-app/folder actions.
  - title: Presentation Artifacts
    details: Task-created PPTX decks render as compact artifact cards and open into a persisted resizable right-sidebar viewer with thumbnails, slide navigation, zoom, fast text-first loading, cached rendered images, speaker notes, external actions, and fullscreen follow-up context; legacy PowerPoint formats keep external-app/folder actions.
  - title: Web Page Artifacts
    details: Generated HTML/HTM files and built React output entrypoints render as compact artifact cards and open into a persisted resizable right-sidebar sandboxed iframe preview with browser/folder/copy actions and fullscreen follow-up context; React-style projects without build output show a build-output-needed state instead of auto-starting a dev server.
  - title: Browser Workbench
    details: Interactive browser-use tasks open a visible right-sidebar browser by default, with shared agent/user page state, functional navigation controls, responsive viewport presets, screenshots, annotation, fullscreen follow-up context, and visible cursor movement during agent clicks, fills, reads, scrolls, and navigation.
  - title: Chronicle
    details: Opt-in desktop recent-screen context for vague on-screen references, with Memory Hub controls, local passive capture, `screen_context` recall, pause/resume, and Mission Control evidence.
  - title: Optional Supermemory
    details: Add Supermemory as an external memory lane with prompt-time profile injection, explicit external memory tools, optional mirroring of non-private local memory captures, and Memory Write Approval controls for external writes, while keeping CoWork's local memory system primary.
  - title: Runtime Orchestration
    details: SessionRuntime owns task-session state, session checklists, visible-tool render caching, prompt-cache state, resume snapshots, and task projection while the turn kernel handles each active turn; sectioned prompts, stable-prefix prompt caching, graph-backed delegation, typed worker roles, semantic batch summaries, and terminal-state-safe resume logic keep execution, verification, and follow-up work coherent.
  - title: Managed Agents
    details: Agents Hub is the dedicated UI for reusable managed agents, templates, drafts, governance, channels, tools, skills, memory, and schedules. Clicking an agent opens a single-pane configuration detail view; test, preview, and starter-prompt actions create runtime managed sessions and open the backing task in the main window so work is observed through the standard task timeline, approvals, artifacts, and outputs.
  - title: Composer Mentions
    details: Type `@` in the composer to pick Agents, configured Integrations, or Files. Integration chips render with icon and label in prompts and user message history, and selected integration metadata reaches the runtime as soft routing guidance rather than tool restrictions.
  - title: Message Box Shortcuts
    details: Type `/` in the composer to pick deterministic app commands and skill-backed workflow shortcuts from one menu, including `/side`, `/schedule`, `/schedule here`, `/clear`, `/plan`, `/cost`, `/multitask`, `/compact`, `/doctor`, `/undo`, direct skill IDs, plugin aliases, and the bundled CoWork Shortcuts pack. Skill-backed picker selections insert the command token so users can add context before sending.
  - title: Claude-for-Legal Workflows
    details: Bundled legal practice packs expose upstream-style slash commands through CoWork's plugin-pack system. Legal workflow selections are editable before launch, and matter-heavy tasks can show structured main-view intake cards such as the dedicated demand-letter intake form.
  - title: Multitask Command
    details: `/multitask [N] <task>` starts a fresh collaborative run, splits the prompt into 2-8 lane-specific child tasks, respects the global task queue, and synthesizes the lane outputs through the existing team orchestration flow.
  - title: Latest Release 0.5.49
    details: CoWork CLI, Browser Use Cloud routing, bundled Codex Security workflows, automation outcome reporting, Mission Control automation visibility, Usage Insights token heatmaps, prompt composer link chips, public adoption stats, and security/reliability hardening.
  - title: Inbox Agent
    details: Local-first email workspace with Classic and Today modes, AI triage, Ask Inbox sidebar chat with live agentic steps and hybrid evidence retrieval, `@Inbox` main-composer routing, manual reply/reply-all/forward, editable AI drafts, commitment queues, sender cleanup, attachment indexing, and resync-safe background sync.
  - title: Managed Devices
    details: Connect local and remote CoWork nodes, inspect device summaries, browse remote workspaces, and launch tasks against selected machines from one Devices tab.
  - title: Core Automation
    details: Workflow Intelligence now forms the strict always-on core: Memory is the source of truth, Heartbeat schedules reflection, Dreaming curates reviewable memory candidates, Suggestions are reviewable outputs, and Mission Control remains the cockpit.
  - title: Automations
    details: The automations surface now separates core automation from trigger ingress, device routing, schedules, webhooks, and optional twin features. Existing tasks can become task-sourced routines from the task overflow menu, continue the same thread by default, and compile schedule/API/event triggers to lower-level engines.
  - title: Heartbeat V3
    details: Default two-lane background automation with cheap Pulse checks, selective Dispatch escalation, signal compression, automation-profile ownership, and truthful Mission Control state that separates Heartbeat agents, global runtime queue pressure, and workspace board work.
  - title: 150 Built-in Skills
    details: Document creation, web research, code generation, image analysis, React/Next.js implementation guidance, and specialized bundled workflows such as `llm-wiki` for persistent research vaults, `manim-video` for technical animation, `architecture-design` for Rhino/Blender/ComfyUI concept architecture workflows, `kami` for editorial PDFs and slide decks, `react-best-practices` for React workspace changes, and `taste-skill` for high-agency frontend design. The bundled CoWork Shortcuts pack adds slash-searchable workflow aliases on top of the same skills runtime. Extensible via custom skills, ClawHub installs, external skill imports, and optional read-only external skill directories, with staged scanning and warning/quarantine handling for managed imports.
  - title: LaTeX PDF Artifacts
    details: Source-first `.tex` workflows compile with installed system TeX engines and render paired source/PDF artifact workbenches in task output surfaces.
  - title: Additive Skill Routing
    details: Skills can still be proactively shortlisted from the task, but they add context and scoped runtime directives instead of replacing the canonical user request.
  - title: Profiles & Portability
    details: Separate CoWork profiles isolate app data, credentials, channels, and sessions, with export/import flows for moving or cloning a setup safely.
  - title: Agent Teams
    details: Multi-agent collaboration with shared checklists, collaborative mode, multi-LLM synthesis, and performance reviews.
  - title: Enterprise Connectors
    details: 47 MCP connectors including Salesforce, Jira, HubSpot, Zendesk, Stripe, Tavily, Grafana, Metabase, Rhino, Blender, ComfyUI, and more, with connector notifications available to automations and configured connector mentions available from the composer.
  - title: Secure MCP Tunnels
    details: Self-hosted outbound-only relay support lets remote CoWork callers reach selected local or private MCP tools without relying on OpenAI tunnel hosting, ngrok, localtunnel, or public inbound ports on the user's machine.
  - title: Federated Agents
    details: Discover ACP agents, delegate to local or remote specialists, persist ACP task state locally, and invoke A2A-compatible endpoints under shared approvals and endpoint-validation rules.
  - title: Security First
    details: Local-first architecture, sandboxed execution, layered permission rules, workspace-local policy files, guardrails, approval workflows, encrypted storage, import scanning/quarantine for managed capability bundles, and a verified suite of 4,932 automated tests across 390 test files.
  - title: Best-Fit Operational Workflows
    details: Purpose-built packs for Support Ops, IT Ops, and Sales Ops — governed outcome delivery for the workflows where AI assistance has the clearest ROI. See the Best-Fit Workflows guide.
  - title: Zero-Human Company Ops
    details: Venture operator workspace kits, a dedicated Companies control surface, operator personas plus automation profiles, strategic planner issue generation, and Mission Control monitoring for founder-directed company loops.
