The Deskfolk film 0:30

Mochi (you) hands the job to Pudding, the Producer, in one line: it lays out tickets naming who makes and who reviews each; it asks before leaving the workspace; you walk away while the app keeps watch; say stop and it stops, your next line sets it going; what it hands in must pass the checks you confirmed, and the Reviewer rules with evidence; you come back to results.

01Any model

Your subscription, any vendor, a third party or your own machine

Each Bot runs its own way: on a local agent you’re already signed in to on this computer, such as Claude Code or Codex, spending your own subscription; or on an OpenAI- or Anthropic-compatible endpoint, whether official, third-party or running on your machine.

  • Local agents: Claude Code, Codex, Grok, OpenCode, Antigravity, ZCode, or an ACP command you add; the app runs the program you signed in to and never touches its sign-in or tokens
  • Endpoints: Anthropic, DeepSeek, Qwen and Xiaomi MiMo with just a key; OpenAI, OpenRouter, Ollama, LM Studio, llama.cpp, or any compatible address
  • Each Bot has a default model you can pin, and climbs the model ladder you set when it gets stuck

02Terminal sessions

Halfway through in the terminal? Carry on here

Halfway through a Claude Code chat in the terminal? Pick that session in the app and carry on: the app branches from it, and the terminal’s own session is left exactly as it was. Or start a new Claude Code or Codex project session in any folder.

  • “Import a terminal session…” lists the Claude Code sessions on this computer, up to 120
  • Your words and Claude’s replies come along; tool calls fold into one line
  • Permission mode, model, thinking and Stop are a click in the app
  • Codex starts new sessions in a folder; it can’t be imported yet

03Files in place

What it hands in opens without leaving the app

Images, audio and video, PDFs, Word, Excel and PowerPoint, web pages, Markdown and code a Bot hands in open right beside the chat: no hunting through folders, no other app. See something off? Annotate it and send the notes to the Bot to work from.

  • The preview panel sits beside the chat and can be dragged into a pane of its own
  • Annotate text and code, Markdown, web pages, images, PDFs, and audio and video at points in time
  • Office files are view-only, not annotatable, up to 50 MB; about 80 kinds of code and text are highlighted

04Panes

Split it any way you like

Drag a tab to a pane’s edge and it splits: the chat on the left, the results on the right, a terminal or the flow below. Split across or down as often as you like; hold ⌥ while you drag and it floats.

  • Chats, flows, artifacts, the workspace, terminals, the calendar, spend, usage, roles and task maps all go in panes
  • Drag a conversation from the sidebar straight into the layout; right-click a pane to split it up, down, left or right
  • No panes on narrow windows (under 680px) or on phones

05Remote control

Out of the house, still in your hand

Pair your phone once, and from anywhere you can see how far the Bots got, reply, approve, stop them, browse the workspace, type in a terminal, even drive your Mac’s screen. You run the relay yourself, and traffic is end-to-end encrypted, so not even the relay can read it.

  • The phone app is a web page added to your Home Screen; nothing to install
  • Each device is approved on the computer with Touch ID or Windows Hello, up to 16; pairing codes last 10 minutes
  • Mac screen: direct when it can be, through the relay when it can’t
  • Off by default; available on macOS and Windows

06Usage and spend

Every call on the books

Every model call goes into a ledger on your machine: which Bot, which model, how many tokens, what it cost. Prices the provider reports are kept as reported; the rest are estimated from prices you set, and the two are totalled apart. How much of a plan you’ve used and when it resets is on the usage widget.

  • Filter by time, model, session, Bot and category; every call jumps back to the message that set it off
  • Set a daily spend cap in dollars: reach it and every Bot stops until you press Lift
  • Plan limits for Claude (5-hour and 7-day), Codex, Grok and Antigravity; API-key endpoints bill per token, with no plan limits
