Beyond coding — a full AI agent
CodePilot started as a coding tool but has grown into a general-purpose AI agent desktop:
- Assistant Workspace — Persona files, persistent memory, onboarding flows, and daily check-ins. Your assistant learns your preferences and adapts over time.
- Generative UI — AI can create interactive dashboards, charts, and visual widgets rendered live in-app.
- Remote Bridge — Connect to Telegram, Feishu, Discord, QQ, and WeChat. Send messages from your phone, get responses on your desktop.
- MCP + Skills — Add MCP servers (stdio / sse / http) with runtime monitoring. Define reusable skills or install from the skills.sh marketplace.
- Media Studio — AI image generation with batch tasks, gallery, and tagging.
- Task Scheduler — Schedule recurring tasks with cron expressions or intervals.
