Give each bot a computer, a memory, and real work. They use your tools, work in parallel, and come back when something needs you.
Free local app. Hosted computers when you need them.
Research can keep digging while Builder changes the site and Ops watches the morning queue. You decide what each coworker owns. Deskfolk keeps their files, messages, and memory out of each other's way.
Compare the five vendors and flag the contract traps.
The onboarding fix is ready. I opened the app and checked the full flow.
Weekdays at 8:30, prepare the overnight brief.
Turn on Teach, complete the job the way you already do it, and let a bot follow along. Deskfolk turns the demonstration into a reusable skill, so the next run starts with your process instead of a blank prompt.
Put bots in a group or mention the right coworker. They can hand work over, ask for missing context, and answer when they are free. You see the useful result in your conversation, not a transcript of their private chatter.
Research sent the finished comparison.

SyncedSend the next instruction without opening the app.
DeliveredStart on your Mac, continue from iPhone, or message a bot through Telegram. The conversation stays with the same coworker, including context, attachments, and the work it already completed.
Local bots need your Mac running. Hosted bots stay reachable when it is closed.
No shared desktop to trip over. Every bot gets a dedicated seat, while you choose where that seat lives.
Sign in with your existing ChatGPT subscription or choose a model through OpenRouter. Deskfolk keeps the orchestration, tools, routines, and computers consistent. Your selected provider handles the turn. There is no silent fallback.
Local by default means local. Turn on sync or hosting only for the coworkers that need it.
Local transcripts, skills, settings, and computer profiles remain on your Mac unless you enable a cloud feature.
Paired devices use authenticated workspace access. Hosted configuration and sleep state are encrypted before storage.
Each account has its own authenticated workspace, devices, connectors, limits, storage, and billing state.
What stays local, what stays awake, and how the computers work.
Use the Deskfolk app on Mac, continue the same conversations in the iPhone app, or connect Telegram to a bot. Local bots need your Mac running. Hosted bots remain reachable when your Mac is closed.
No. Every bot has a dedicated computer, so one coworker cannot move another coworker’s windows or interrupt its desktop. You can deliberately share context in a group, copy workspace files or skills, and configure connector access without merging their live computer sessions.
Local transcripts, skills, settings, and computer profiles stay on your Mac unless you enable sync or hosting. Paired-device traffic is authenticated and encrypted in transit. Hosted configuration and saved computer state are encrypted before storage, and every account is routed to its own authenticated workspace.
A Deskfolk bot has an ongoing role, memory, files, routines, and its own computer. Several bots can work in parallel, use real websites and tools, collaborate in groups, and keep hosted work moving around the clock instead of waiting inside one chat window.
The fair-use safety limit is 16 concurrent hosted bots per account. You can create more coworkers and wake them as capacity becomes available. If your workload needs more than 16 active computers at once, contact us for a larger deployment.
Yes for local bots: the Mac must be on and Deskfolk must be running. A hosted bot wakes on an on-demand computer for messages and routines, saves its encrypted state when the work is quiet, and remains reachable without your Mac.
Sign in with ChatGPT OAuth or choose a model through OpenRouter. The provider you select handles the turn, including tool use. Deskfolk does not silently switch providers when the selected one fails.
Yes. Start Teach, complete the workflow once, then review the reusable skill Deskfolk creates from the demonstration. That skill can guide future chat work and recurring routines without making you explain every click from scratch.
Start with a local coworker on your Mac. Add hosted computers only when the work needs to stay awake.
