💡 What We're Building (And Why It's Different)

Many "cowork / office agents" focus on writing emails, filling spreadsheets, and running workflows.
JarvisX-Cowork goes further: building a "Personal AI Creative Assistant" for everyone — when you're out of ideas, it can search the web for references; when you need output, it can take you from copy to visuals all the way through.

Think of it as a creative workflow:

Blank canvas → WebSearch for references → generate images → refine (Lightroom integration) → create videos → build stunning demos / decks / docs

At the same time, it keeps the core strengths of "Open Claude Cowork":

• Anthropic API compatible: reuses ~/.claude/settings.json (no reinventing the wheel)
• Desktop visualization: streaming output, message cards, session management
• Controllable & auditable: key tool operations require your confirmation (permission panel)

✨ What You Can Do With It

• Creative & content: write copy, proposals, scripts, generate posters/illustrations, create presentation/PPT structures, produce project documentation
• Visual creation: text-to-image, image-to-image editing, a refinement workflow from "decent" to "polished" (with professional editing tool integration)
• Video capabilities: generate short videos from text/images for product showcases, event teasers, social media content
• Real-time information: search web/news/images and provide citable summaries with sources
• Dev collaboration: write code, edit code, run commands, organize files (the workflow you know)

The goal isn't just an assistant that "does your office work", but one that "helps you bring ideas to life". From inspiration to output, the fewer tools you switch between, the better.

✅ Creative Tools Checklist

The table above focuses on "creative capabilities". Beyond this, the project also inherits common baseline capabilities from the Claude Code/Claude Agent ecosystem (files/commands/web/tasks, etc.).

Test API Mirrors (Optional)

To make the experimental environment easier to reproduce, you can use third-party API mirror sites during testing (unofficial, not required).
We make no advertisement or endorsement; please evaluate stability, compliance, and data security risks on your own.

• OpenAI/Anthropic compatible API (test): https://www.sssaicode.com/
• Generative model API (Nanobanana / Sora, etc., test): https://api.bltcy.ai/

Tip: For production use, prefer official or self-hosted services you trust, keep your keys secure, and avoid committing keys to the repository.
