- OpenKnowledge (Open source): OpenKnowledge is a free, local-first markdown editor and knowledge base built for working alongside AI agents. It looks and feels like a Notion-style WYSIWYG editor, with callouts, tabs, Mermaid diagrams and media blocks, but every page stays a plain markdown file on your disk. Coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI and dozens of others can read and write the same files through its integrations, so specs, team wikis and LLM wikis stay in one place that both people and agents keep up to date. It ships as a desktop app plus a web UI and CLI. Consider it because it also covers computer and desktop control and local and self-hosted.
- ArchiLabs (Paid): AI teammate for architects that creates and edits native models and drawings in Revit and AutoCAD from a task, PDF or screen recording. Consider it because it is a managed commercial product, if you'd rather not run it yourself; it also covers computer and desktop control.
- MindsHub (Open source + cloud): MindsDB's agent workspace for research, analysis, documents and coding, with a model router, a scoped vault for connected data and swappable open-source agent harnesses. Consider it because it also covers research and reports and agent frameworks and SDKs.
- GenOffice (Open source): Free, open-source office suite with docs, sheets and slides editors and a built-in AI agent. Consider it because it also covers IDE and editor agents.
- Craft Agents (Open source): Desktop app from the makers of Craft for working with agents in a document-first way; the agent sets up APIs and MCP servers for you and sessions can be shared. Consider it because it also covers computer and desktop control and MCP servers.
- draw.io MCP (Open source): The official draw.io MCP server, so Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other assistants can create and edit flowcharts, architecture diagrams and other draw.io diagrams right in the chat. Free and needs no sign-in. Consider it because it also covers MCP servers and images and design.
- Next AI Draw.io (Open source): Create and edit draw.io diagrams by chatting with AI, as a web app, desktop app or MCP server. Consider it because it also covers computer and desktop control and MCP servers.
- Teable (Open source + cloud): AI spreadsheet and database for business with built-in agents. Consider it because it also covers SQL and databases.
- Sourcetable (Freemium): AI spreadsheet that analyzes data, builds models and charts from prompts. Consider it because it does the same job with a different approach (freemium).
- PPTAgent (Open source): Agentic framework that generates and refines PowerPoint presentations. Consider it because it is aimed at developers who want to build on it; it also covers agent frameworks and SDKs.
