JarvisX-Cowork transforms terminal-based AI assistants into visual, collaborative desktop companions, aiming to be a personal AI creative assistant for everyone. It bridges the gap between simple office task automation and comprehensive creative workflows, enabling users to move from initial ideas to polished outputs with a single application.

How It Works

JarvisX-Cowork leverages Electron and React to provide a desktop interface for AI models, specifically designed to be Anthropic API compatible. It facilitates a creative workflow encompassing web searching for references, generating images and videos, and refining visual assets, integrating professional editing tool capabilities. The architecture emphasizes user control, with a permission panel for authorizing tool operations, ensuring a controllable and auditable experience.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Installation: Clone the repository, then use bun install to install dependencies.
• Prerequisites: Bun or Node.js 22+ is required. Python 3.11+ is necessary for utilizing creative skills.
• Running: Use bun run dev for development or bun run dist:* to build a production version for macOS, Linux, or Windows.
• Configuration: API keys for services like Anthropic, Tavily (web search), and Nanobanana (image generation) can be imported via a JSON file or entered manually in the application's settings.
• Links: Releases page, Bun Install/Build Troubleshooting Guide.
