Local Agent Studio

Local Agent Studio is a Windows desktop app for building AI agents and connecting them in visual workflows. It suits first-time agent builders and developers prototyping private automation. Local and cloud agents can work together in the same workflow, with progress visible for each step.

The app runs on Windows 10 22H2 or Windows 11 x64 and is open source under Apache 2.0. It packages the desktop interface and backend together, so ordinary use doesn't require separate Python, Node.js or Docker installations. Built-in llama.cpp runs GGUF models locally; Ollama and LM Studio are also supported. Hardware guidance and model downloads help users choose models for their computer.

Workflows can run agents in sequence or parallel, route tasks, review results and pause for human approval. Agents have local memory and reusable skill attachments. Document tools read, search and create Word and Excel files, while email connections support Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo and custom SMTP. Optional Python functions and local MCP tools require Developer Mode, explicit permissions and approval.

Local inference stays on the computer by default. Gemini is optional and requires a Google AI Studio API key; prompts for Gemini agents go to Google's cloud. Offline mode blocks cloud execution. Email and HTTP tools can also send data outside the machine, subject to permissions. File writes require approval, and email asks by default.

The app encrypts sensitive credentials and skill files locally. Exported .agentpack workflows exclude secrets, local paths, model files and run history.

The current alpha installer is unsigned, and automatic updates are not implemented.
