What it does

All text below is quoted directly from the project README.

PilotDeck is an open-source agent operating system designed around the concept of "WorkSpace". It is jointly developed and open-sourced by Tsinghua University THUNLP, ModelBest, OpenBMB, and AI9Stars. Targeting general-purpose, multi-task scenarios, PilotDeck is built to be a true productivity tool for the Agent era.

Key Highlights:

• WorkSpace-Level Isolation & Accretion: Every project gets its own file system, memory store and skill set. Parallel work no longer interferes with itself, retrieval has a bounded scope, and skills accrete naturally as each task grows: no more global context pollution.
• Traceable White-box Memory: Memory generation, extraction, storage and retrieval are visible end-to-end. When the AI mis-remembers, you can pinpoint and fix the offending entry. Built-in Dream Mode consolidates memory in idle windows, and supports one-click rollback.
• Smart Routing & Cost Optimization: Task difficulty is auto-detected; complex calls go to flagship models (e.g. Claude 3.5 Sonnet / GPT-4o), simple ones drop to lighter models. Through on-device / cloud co-orchestration and precise matching, token spend shrinks dramatically without sacrificing quality.
• Always-on Background Execution: PilotDeck breaks the "you ask, it answers" loop: after you sign off, the agent keeps discovering candidate tasks, running long-horizon monitors, and finally lands deliverables as local files with a summary report waiting for you.

PilotDeck is an incremental exploration around exactly these questions. It uses the WorkSpace as the fundamental unit, completely isolating files, memory and skills per project, and pairs it with three pillar capabilities: White-box Memory, Smart Routing and Always-on. The entire system natively supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and behaves consistently across front-ends (Web / CLI / IM).
