What it does How it works Widgets Pixel City Get in touch

Small characters that live on your desktop.

Add a companion to your desktop, and it works alongside you. It can open a conversation bubble, carry out tasks with Claude, Codex, or a plain shell, and let you know when it's done.

“It is part toy, part operator console: cute characters on top, real work underneath.”

What it does

Part toy, part operator console.

Desktop Agents lets small characters live on your desktop as working companions.

  • Desktop companions

    Small characters that walk around your desktop, with their own idle, walking and working animations.

  • Real work underneath

    Click a companion to open its conversation bubble and run a session with Claude, Codex, or a plain shell, in a project folder you choose.

  • One place to manage them

    See every companion, start or stop them, and adjust each one's settings from a single control window.

  • Check in from elsewhere

    Reach your companions from your phone or another computer, through a private link you turn on and protect with your own access code.

Small interfaces, real purpose

A little space for what matters.

Ask your agent to create a widget: a stock-market dashboard, a reminder list, or a quiet focus card. A small desktop interface built around what you need.

How it works

Four steps to a working companion.

Setting one up takes a minute, and it starts walking right away.

  • What it runs — Claude, Codex, or a plain shell
  • Which model it uses
  • Which project folder it works in
  • How big it appears on your screen
  1. 01

    Add a companion

    Give it a name and pick how it looks.

  2. 02

    Set it up

    Choose what it runs and point it at the project folder you want it working in.

  3. 03

    Send it to your desktop

    It's saved, and it starts walking right away.

  4. 04

    Open its bubble anytime

    Click the character to see what it's doing, or give it something new to do.

Check in from elsewhere

Your companions aren't stuck on one screen.

Turn on a private link from the app and protect it with your own access code. After that, your phone or another computer on your network can reach the same companions.

  • Open a companion's conversation bubble from another device
  • Check what a companion is doing with a simple screen view
  • Hear a companion's spoken updates
  • A simple companion app for Android, for quick access on the go

Good to know

Before you bring one onto your desktop.

  • Your project stays put

    Each companion works in a project folder on your own computer.

  • You're in control

    You choose what each companion runs, and where it works.

  • Access is protected

    Checking in from another device needs an access code you set yourself, first.
