# Pinvou Agent (open-source AI desktop app)

> Pinvou Agent is a free, open-source AI desktop app for Windows, macOS and Linux. Open-source desktop AI agent for tools, files, knowledge, workflows, and real deliverables. It has 2,376 GitHub stars and is released under the MIT license. Its source code is on GitHub at Pinvou/pinvou-agent.

Pinvou Agent is more than a chat window. It brings everyday work, visual design, and software development into one desktop workspace — designed for tasks that should end with a result, not just another chat response. Use tools, work with files, and build personal knowledge; bring a dedicated coding agent into a real project over ACP; or turn a prompt into a visual artifact you can continue editing.
