SMALL BY DESIGN. OPEN BY NATURE.

Your call
01 / THE IDEAA desktop agent with a little personality.

A little less busywork.
A little more possibility.

Some tasks just need a patient pair of hands.
Deskfish opens the browser, follows the steps, and takes care of the clicking. All in a computer you can see.

01

Give it a task.

Write like you would to a colleague. Tell it where to go, what matters, and what done looks like.

YOUR WORDS → A PLAN
02

Watch it get to work.

It looks at the screen, thinks, clicks, and types. A real browser and terminal, live in your editor.

LOOK → THINK → ACT → LOOK
03

Step in. Hand back.

When it needs you, it knocks on the glass. Take the mouse, do your part, and let it carry on.

A HUMAN, WHEN IT MATTERS
02 / A PAIR OF HANDSFor all the “open the browser and…” tasks.

Hand off the little things.

And some surprisingly big ones.
Pick an errand. Imagine what you could do with the time.

A little fish. Its very own domain.

Illustrative workflows. What an agent can complete depends on your model and the sites it visits.

03 / MEET THE TANK

Its own little world.
A clear boundary.

The tank is a sandboxed Linux desktop running on your machine. Its own browser, its own files, its own space to get things done.

The computer is theirs.

Firefox, a terminal, and a home folder that keeps logins and files between restarts.

Your files stay yours.

No host folder is mounted. You choose what crosses the glass with Attach and Save.

The mouse is always within reach.

Watch every step. Take over at any time. Hand back when you’re ready.

THE THOUGHTFUL LITTLE DETAILS

More than a fresh pair of fins.

A memory you can read.

Preferences, useful facts, site quirks. Kept as plain text you can edit or erase.

Files go both ways.

Attach what it needs. Save what it makes. No shared folder required.

It reads its own manual.

Ask about Deskfish. It looks up the same documentation you use before answering.

Built to keep going.

Continue a conversation, follow along with the action log, or set your own task limits.

04 / YOUR CHOICE, ALWAYSThe desktop stays. The mind is up to you.

One tank.
Many kinds of smart.

05 / A TRUE LITTLE STORY

We needed a domain.
So we asked the fish.

Deskfish opened Namecheap, found deskfish.sh, and walked through checkout. Then it knocked on the glass for the final click.

This website’s address was its first errand.
