WorkCraft AI 0.1.0-alpha.9

WorkCraft AI 0.1.0-alpha.9 (pre-release)

A local-first AI chat and multi-agent desktop app in Rust. Talk to Ollama or your own hosted models, let them read your files, call MCP tools and drive the Craft apps on your computer.

Alpha. Expect bugs. Windows 11 is the only verified platform; macOS and Linux are untested. The binaries are not code-signed (Windows SmartScreen may warn). Settings and data formats can change between alphas.

Download

File	What
WorkCraft.exe	the desktop app
WorkCraft-CLI.exe	terminal chat, headless engine and MCP server (workcraft-cli mcp)
SHA256SUMS.txt	checksums; compare them with Get-FileHash before you run the files

Add a key in Settings > Providers (or set DEEPSEEK_API_KEY, OPENAI_API_KEY, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY) or start Ollama for a local model.

Highlights

• Chats keep working in the background. Start a new chat while another is still working; each chat keeps its own replies, tool cards and approvals.
• More @ mentions and 19 more / commands that run when you press Enter (/stop, /retry, /team, /model, /summarize, ...).
• Shift+Enter for a new line, middle-click scroll mode, and a fix for the skills error "missing argument 'name'".
• Blip thinks, works, waits for your OK, listens, cheers and droops with the state of the chat; fewer visual glitches, cheaper to draw, and it can be made calm, smaller or switched off.
• 17 Craft apps found automatically and checked against today's versions (PhotoCraft 0.21.0 ... Craft Anything 0.5.0, MaterialCraft 0.2.0 saves .sbs).

Known limits

• Only Windows 11 has been used and tested. Please report macOS and Linux results.
• The OpenAI-compatible and Anthropic adapters follow the documented wire format but were not run against live APIs by the maintainers.
• Small local models are weak at planning and tool use.
