What it does
LobsterAI is a desktop app with an AI agent that works in your real computer setup. It can handle files, run commands, use a browser, and create documents, spreadsheets, slides and videos. It asks for approval before sensitive actions.
You can create specialized agents, schedule recurring jobs like daily news digests, and send it commands from chat apps such as WeChat, Feishu, DingTalk or Telegram. It is built on OpenClaw, another open-source agent project.
Sessions and data are stored locally on your computer.
