Traditional LLM interfaces are often "environment-isolated islands." Developers spend 50% of their time copy-pasting code, terminal logs, and file contents between the chat and their IDE. OpenCowork solves this by providing: - Local Agency: Agents can directly read/write files and execute shell commands with your permission. - Context Awareness: No more manual context feeding. Agents explore your codebase and logs autonomously. - Task Orchestration: Complex tasks (like "Refactor this module and update tests") are b...
