pinvou-agent

Active·★ 2.7k·MIT·Updated 2026-10-27

Pinvou Agent is an open-source desktop app built with Tauri for Windows, macOS and Linux. It aims at tasks that end with a result rather than a chat reply, and splits the workspace into three modes: Work, Design and Code.

Work mode combines attachments such as PDFs and Office files, a local knowledge base with full-text and vector retrieval, a memory center with explicit confirmation, persona cards, Skills, MCP tools and workflows, and gathers every file the agent creates in an artifact panel. Design mode turns a prompt into a poster or data visualization you can edit element by element. Code mode runs Codex, Claude Code or Kimi over ACP against a real project, surfacing plans, permission requests and file changes.

Models come from local vLLM or any OpenAI-compatible API, with templates for DeepSeek, Kimi, Qwen, OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini and others. A unified tool store covers local and remote MCP servers, CLI tools and API connectors, including Feishu, DingTalk, WeCom, Tencent Meeting and Obsidian. Data lives under ~/.pinvou3; in-app update checks are not enabled yet. MIT licensed.

This write-up is based on the project's README and public repository data. We have not hand-tested the tool. Data as of 2026-10-25.

02

Why choose it

+An artifact panel collects every file the agent produces, so work ends in deliverables.
+Runs Codex, Claude Code or Kimi over ACP inside the same desktop app.
+Works fully locally with vLLM, and has ready connectors for Feishu, DingTalk and WeCom.

Trade-offs

!Releases are previews and in-app update checks are not enabled yet.
!Building from source needs Rust, Node.js and Tauri system dependencies.
!Many connectors target Chinese workplace tools, which matters less elsewhere.
