Prerequisites: Node.js 20+ and pnpm 9+.

git clone https://github.com/accomplish-ai/coworker.git
cd coworker
pnpm install
pnpm dev

That is the full development setup. The Electron desktop app starts immediately after pnpm dev.

Initial setup after install

1. Launch Coworker.
2. Connect an AI provider: paste your API key (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, etc.) or configure Ollama for local models.
3. Grant folder access: choose which directories Coworker may read and write.
4. Start prompting. Every action displays a preview and waits for your approval.

No subscription required

API calls are billed directly to your provider account. Coworker itself is free.

Template / boilerplate

No starter template is distributed. The open-source repo at https://github.com/accomplish-ai/coworker is MIT licensed; fork it and customize freely.

Architecture overview

apps/
  desktop/    # Electron app (main + preload + renderer via React + Vite)
packages/
  shared/     # Shared TypeScript types

The desktop app spawns a long-lived daemon that manages task execution via OpenCode children. API keys are stored in the OS keychain, never on Accomplish servers.
