Introduction

Silicon Worker is an AI worker (desktop app) that runs on your own computer. Instead of just giving advice, it gets things done: reading and writing files, operating web pages and apps, organizing data, and producing reports.

What it can do

• Files & commands: read, edit, and find files, run shell commands, write results locally.
• Browser automation: open pages, click, fill forms, paginate, and extract content.
• Desktop control: recognize UI elements and perform clicks and typing — even in apps without an API.
• Apple apps (macOS): read and write Calendar, Reminders, and Notes.
• Skills & extensions: extend capabilities via Skills and plugins.
• Memory: remember your preferences and project context across sessions.

Three design principles

• Low cost first: less deployment, less configuration, fewer external dependencies.
• Local first: your data stays on your machine.
• Safe and in control: it asks for consent before sensitive actions.

This documentation only describes capabilities that already ship — no overstating planned features.
