Carmen Desktop: OpenCode for non-developer users.

Carmen Desktop is a local-first workspace for turning documents, folders, and operational data into useful actions, views, and repeatable workflows.

Carmen Desktop

agent workspace

Turn this messy folder into something I can work with.

Carmen reads the files, proposes a view, and keeps the result connected to the source.

Desktop app

A desktop workspace for real work, not another prompt box.

Ask Carmen to work with the files you already have. It reads local context, proposes useful outputs, and keeps results connected to their source.

Open specification

A Mutated View stores a manifest, a parser, and a React component next to a source file. Change the source, rerun the view, keep the work alive.

mview.json

parser.ts

View.tsx

{ "runtime": "react" }

source → data

data → interface

What the lab is building

Interfaces for invoices, spreadsheets, folders, logs, reports, and the documents teams already use.

Artifacts should be inspectable, repeatable, and portable instead of disappearing inside a chat transcript.

AI proposes, transforms, and explains. People keep the source files and the final decisions.
