AiServa Desktop is the AiServa AI Agent as an app for macOS, Windows and Linux. It signs in to your organisation, uses the models and tools your admins have set up, and works on files in a folder you open. No API keys ever sit on the laptop.
AiServa Desktop is built on OpenCode, an open-source AI agent released under the MIT licence. AiServa keeps every rule on the server: who may use which model, tool and knowledge base is checked on each call, so the app on the laptop never becomes a way around your policies.
The app talks to an OpenAI-compatible gateway on AiServa, which serves only the models your organisation allows: a local AI server, or a cloud provider your organisation added its own key for. Retry and the Backup Model work the same as on the web.
Tasks sync both ways with the AI Workspace and your phone. Start a task at your desk and carry on from anywhere, with the same history.
Open a folder as a Workspace and the agent can read and work on the files in it. Nothing outside that folder is reachable by its local tools.
The Summary, Knowledge Bases, To-Do Lists, Calendar, Approvals and Notifications panels open in a side column of the app, in a sealed view that opens the AI Workspace with a one-time code, so you are never asked to sign in twice and no password is typed into it.
A reminder, an approval waiting for you or a shared file shows as a normal desktop notification, and clicking it opens the right panel.
When your administrator turns Voice Dictation on and the Speech Reader is installed on your AI server, a microphone button in the prompt box types what you say. On the desktop it works with the Your AI Server engine only.
Besides the files in your Workspace folder, the AI Agent can work in a browser window and, when you allow it, on your whole screen. They are two separate tools with separate rights, so an organisation can switch on one without the other.
Opens a browser window of its own, in Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge, with a separate AiServa profile, so your logins, history and extensions are never used. You can watch it and take over at any moment.
Sees your screen and uses the mouse and keyboard for a task you gave it: open an app, click, type, read what is on screen. It needs a model that can read images, and the Computer Controller window shows which of your organisation's models can.
Default
For everyone. A clean agent window centred on documents, knowledge bases and files, without terminals or code views. Ask a question, hand it a folder of files, get a cited answer or a finished document back.
Optional
For technical staff. Shows the coding interface from OpenCode, such as the terminal and file changes, so developers can work on a code folder with the same organisation models and tools.
Your organisation's admins choose which modes are allowed. Each person then switches between the allowed modes in Settings.
AiServa hands the app its tools over MCP, the open Model Context Protocol. Each one is checked against your own rights every time it is used, so you only get the tools your role allows. See Skills, Apps and Connectors for how organisations add their own.
Searches the web with your organisation's search tool and reads the linked pages.
Reads a web page or a long PDF from a link.
Searches the knowledge bases you are allowed to use and cites the sources.
Creates PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, CSV, Markdown and other files.
Reads the text of a document you hand it.
Merges, splits and extracts pages from PDFs.
Sends email through your organisation's mail settings.
Drives a browser for multi-step web tasks: on your AI server, or in its own window on this computer.
Sees the screen and uses the mouse and keyboard of this computer, only when you allow it.
Lists, saves and forgets your personal memories.
Any MCP servers your organisation has added.
Each MCP server is set to either No Need to Ask or Ask Before Every Use. On the desktop, an MCP server set to Ask Before Every Use shows you a prompt before each call, so you approve it or skip it. MCP server keys stay on the AiServa server and never reach the laptop.
The app shows an 8-character one-time code, valid for 10 minutes.
You sign in to the AI Workspace with your password and two-step code, and approve this device.
The app receives a revocable device token. It lasts 400 days while in use and can be revoked at any time.
Every call goes to your organisation's gateway, which checks your rights and keeps all keys server-side.
Cloud API keys, email passwords and MCP server keys stay sealed on the AiServa server. A lost laptop means revoking one device token, not rotating every key.
Local tools are limited to the Workspace folder you opened. The rest of the computer is out of reach.
The app's local server listens only on 127.0.0.1, so other machines on your network cannot connect to it.
AiServa Desktop is downloaded from your AI Workspace, not an app store. Sign in, open Profile > Download, and copy the command for your system. The commands below show the pattern only: copy the real command from your AI Workspace.
The one-line installer checks the download's SHA-256 fingerprint before installing. If it does not match, nothing is installed. The fingerprint of each download is also shown in the AI Workspace, so your IT team can compare it.
The download appears for people whose role is allowed to use the desktop app. Admins control this in the Client Console, alongside the other apps and tools.
Updates install by themselves while the app is idle or when you quit, after a signature check. A What's New window then lists what changed, with every earlier update below it, and stays under the AiServa menu.

AiServa Desktop is the AiServa AI Agent as an app on your own computer. It is built on the open-source OpenCode project (MIT licence), signs in to your AiServa organisation, and uses your organisation's models, knowledge bases, memory and tools, plus files in a folder you open on your computer.
No. The app never holds provider keys, email passwords or MCP server keys. It holds only a device token that you or an admin can revoke. Every model call goes through your organisation's AiServa gateway, which keeps the keys on the server.
The app shows a short one-time code. You open the AI Workspace, sign in with your password and two-step code as usual, and approve that device. The code is valid for 10 minutes. After approval the device stays signed in for up to 400 days while it is used, and can be revoked at any time.
No. Local tools only work inside the Workspace folder you open in the app, and the local app server listens only on 127.0.0.1, so nothing on your network can reach it.
Simple Mode is the default and centres on documents, knowledge bases and files. Developer Mode adds the coding interface, such as a terminal and file changes. Your organisation's admins decide which modes are allowed, and each person switches in Settings.
macOS on Apple silicon and Intel, Windows (64-bit) and Linux (AppImage or .deb). Downloads for each system are listed in the AI Workspace as releases become available.
Sign in to the AI Workspace and open Profile > Download. Copy the one-line command for your system into Terminal (macOS) or PowerShell (Windows), or download the installer file. The installer checks the file's SHA-256 fingerprint and installs nothing if it does not match.
Yes, if your organisation allows it, through two separate tools. The Browser Controller opens its own browser window. The Computer Controller sees your screen and uses the mouse and keyboard for a task you gave it. Each has its own permission, a banner while it works and a Stop button, and your organisation can switch either one off.
The Browser Controller works only inside a browser window of its own (Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge, in a separate AiServa profile) and only on public websites. The Computer Controller works on the whole screen of your computer, in any app, so it also needs a model that can read images and, on a Mac, your permission for Screen Recording and Accessibility. Roles, Rules and audit are set for each separately.
Press Stop in the banner that shows while it works, press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+K (Ctrl+Option+Shift+K on a Mac), or choose Stop Computer and Browser Controllers in the AiServa menu. Every task that used them is stopped, and new actions are refused for 45 seconds.
macOS asks you to allow AiServa Desktop under Privacy and Security, in Screen Recording and in Accessibility. The Computer Controller window in the AiServa menu shows what is still missing and opens each page for you. The Browser Controller needs only Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge.
Updates install by themselves while the app is idle, or when you quit. After one, a What's New window opens and lists what changed, with the earlier updates below it. You can open it again from the AiServa menu. Each update is checked against a signature before it is installed.
Yes. Tasks sync both ways, so a task started on the desktop can be continued in the AI Workspace or on your phone, and the other way round.
Create a workspace, allow AiServa Desktop for the roles that need it, and each person installs it from Profile > Download. Free for 14 days.
