Autonomous Execution
QoderWork doesn't just suggest actions - it performs them. Describe your task in natural language, and QoderWork handles everything from planning to execution on your local machine.
Privacy-First Design
Your files stay on your computer. QoderWork processes documents locally with granular permission controls, ensuring sensitive data never leaves your machine without consent.
Extensible Platform
Extend QoderWork capabilities with custom Skills and MCP integrations. Connect to third-party services, automate complex workflows, and tailor QoderWork to your specific needs.
