What it does

A desktop agent that takes natural-language requests and carries them out on your machine — organising files, producing documents, slides, data tables or a small website — with your choice of model provider behind it. File-manipulation rights are the thing to test carefully: point it at a folder you can afford to lose before pointing it at anything else. The licence text describes a dual arrangement where commercial use is paid.

Summary based on the project's own description. The Japanese page has a fuller beginner guide: setup difficulty, what to prepare, and a step-by-step start.

workany FAQ

Is workany free?: workany itself is free, but it needs an API key for an external AI service. That service charges separately, though some have a free tier.
Do I need to install anything or write code to use workany?: It needs the command line. If you are not comfortable typing commands, expect to get stuck during setup.
Does workany work on a phone?: No. It needs a computer.
Can I use workany commercially?: The project does not state a clear licence, so commercial use cannot be confirmed here. Check the official page or ask the author before using it at work.
