Short description:

ManyPilot is a personal AI cowork assistant for Windows and macOS with one-click installation, local-first security, multi-model support, built-in Skills for PowerPoint and Excel, MCP integration, GUI automation, and remote control.

## What ManyPilot Does

- Provides one-click installers for Windows and macOS.
- Lets users select a local workspace where the AI can operate.
- Supports Claude (Anthropic / OpenRouter), OpenAI / ChatGPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, Ollama, and any OpenAI-compatible API.
- Includes built-in Skills for generating and processing PPTX, DOCX, XLSX, and PDF files.
- Integrates external tools through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), including browser and Notion-style tool connectors when configured.
- Supports GUI automation through computer use.
- Supports remote control through Feishu (Lark) and Slack integration.
- Shows reasoning and tool execution traces in the app UI.

## Security And Privacy

ManyPilot is a local desktop application with a local-first privacy posture:

- User files stay in the selected workspace folder.
- API keys are stored only on the user's device and are never transmitted to ManyPilot servers.
- No telemetry or usage data is sent to ManyPilot.
- The only external network communication is with the AI model API configured by the user.
- The codebase is proprietary — controlled development prevents risks from malicious open-source forks.

Optional security layers:
- Workspace path restrictions on all platforms.
- WSL2 VM isolation on Windows when available.
- Lima VM isolation on macOS when available.
- Commands can run inside an isolated Linux environment when VM isolation is configured.
