What is it?

Pipali is a desktop AI co-worker for macOS, Windows and Linux. You assign it tasks such as researching across local documents and the web, drafting documents, spreadsheets and email, or running recurring workflows on a schedule. It works on your files and browser directly, so it can handle work that would otherwise take manual copying, searching and formatting.

Commands run inside a local sandbox that restricts file and network access. Anything requiring broader access needs your explicit approval, and you can adjust these permissions yourself. Custom workflows can be captured as skills based on the agentskills.io format, and external tools such as Jira, Linear and Slack can be connected via MCP.

Model access goes through the Pipali Platform with single sign-on, so no API key setup is needed. The platform offers several models, including Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek and Kimi.
