From a request to an editable deliverable

Provide source material, explain the task, and specify what you want to receive. OpenWorkBuddy plans the work, uses tools, checks the output files and delivers editable presentations, documents, spreadsheets, web pages and media.

Use the creative canvas to organize images, videos, characters, scenes and storyboards. Extend recurring workflows through Markdown Skills and MCP connectors.

Download and connect your model

Download the official application from GitHub Releases. Choose a macOS or Windows package, or use the source and Docker deployment paths for Linux.

Connect a model provider such as DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, Zhipu, OpenRouter or Ollama. An existing, working local Claude Code or Codex installation can also serve as an engine. Provider accounts and usage charges follow your selected services.
