QoderWork

Overview

QoderWork is a desktop AI agent developed by Alibaba's Qoder team, designed for both Mac and Windows. It lets users accomplish complex tasks directly on their desktop, keeping data secure and private.

The agent can directly read and write to authorized local folders, performing batch organization, information extraction, and format conversion without uploading files to the cloud. It generates professional documents on demand, including well-formatted Word files, Excel spreadsheets with formulas and charts, structurally complete PPT presentations, and editable PDFs. For web-based tasks, it automates the entire browser workflow—navigating to pages, filling out forms, and extracting data—enabling online research and repetitive operations. Through the MCP protocol, it also connects to task management, design collaboration, and other tools, streamlining cross-platform workflows.

Unlike traditional chatbots, QoderWork runs in a secure, isolated local sandbox, giving users clear control over data permissions and high-risk operations. Simply describe your goal in natural language, and the AI will autonomously plan, execute, and deliver results, with progress visible in real time. This marks a true leap from conversation to collaboration.
