README
Wandesk
**One shell, one AI kernel that knows everything, one workerd. Everything else is an app.**
An open-source AI desktop. Describe an app and the built-in agent writes it into your workspace; the desktop grows an icon on the spot. Every app is a standard Cloudflare Worker site with its own origin and its own SQLite. Bring your own model, all local, no signup.
