Most AI tools today follow the same pattern: you type into a chat box, get a response, copy-paste it somewhere, and repeat. The AI never touches your actual work environment. It cannot open your browser, run your tests, or send a message on Slack.
Foxl is different. It is a desktop application that runs an AI agent with full access to your machine. It controls your real Chrome browser (with your logged-in sessions), executes shell commands, reads and writes files, manages git repos, and connects to 40+ messaging channels. All locally, on your hardware.
The problem we are solving
Developers and knowledge workers juggle dozens of tools every day. Checking email, posting standups, running CI, reviewing PRs, researching competitors, updating spreadsheets. Each task is simple. The overhead is context-switching between them.
An AI agent that can actually use your tools - not just talk about them - eliminates that overhead. You describe what you want done, and the agent handles the mechanics: opening the right tabs, running the right commands, posting to the right channels.
How it works
Foxl runs a local Express server with 20 tools. The agent (powered by Claude, GPT, Gemini, or local models) decides which tools to call based on your prompt. Every tool invocation requires your approval unless you explicitly allow it.
The architecture is intentionally simple: one SQLite database stores all conversations, memory, and agent state. Markdown files in a workspace directory hold persistent memory. There is no cloud dependency for core functionality.
What you can do today
- Browser automation - "Check my Gmail and summarize what is urgent"
- Multi-step tasks - "Fix the auth bug, run tests, deploy to staging, tell the team on Slack"
- Parallel research - "Compare the top 5 cloud GPU providers and make a spreadsheet"
- Scheduled tasks - "Every morning at 7am, brief me on weather, calendar, and Slack"
- Cross-device access - Control your desktop agent from your phone via app.foxl.ai
