01What can it help you accomplish?
Turn one goal into editable code, documents, presentations, websites, designs and video in a local-first AI workbench
Editable artifacts — code, documents, decks, websites, visual designs and videos — that stay editable after generation instead of a finished file or a chat transcript
Individuals and teams who want agent-generated deliverables they can keep inspecting and editing in one workspace
Run supervised agent execution: planning, tool use, file edits and commands with human approval
Completed work you inspect in place, with approved actions and state the agent continues from
Users who want hands-on control over a coding agent workflow — approving permissions and reviewing each step
Delegate bounded subtasks from an iPolloWork task to DeepSeek Harness subagents once the in-development integration ships
Structured results from DSH subagents returned into the same iPolloWork task, with both Skills and plugin ecosystems retained
DeepSeek Harness users who want to combine DSH's specialized subagents with iPolloWork's editable workbench in one workflow
02How to install into DeepSeek Harness
Prerequisites
- Desktop install: an installer matching your OS and CPU from GitHub Releases (.dmg for macOS, .exe for Windows, .AppImage for Linux)
- Source development: Git, Node.js 22 or newer, pnpm 11 (enabled via `corepack enable`), Bun 1.3.10 or newer, plus platform build tools (Xcode Command Line Tools on macOS, VS 2022 Build Tools with C++ on Windows, an Electron C/C++ build environment on Linux)
Installation steps
- 01
Download the installer that matches your operating system and CPU from GitHub Releases (macOS arm64/x64 .dmg, Windows x64/arm64 .exe, Linux x64/arm64 .AppImage)
- 02
macOS: open the .dmg, then drag iPolloWork into Applications; Windows: run the .exe installer; Linux: make the AppImage executable with `chmod +x ipollowork-*.AppImage`, then run it
- 03
Or run from source: `git clone https://github.com/Devin-AXIS/iPolloWork.git`, `cd iPolloWork`, `corepack enable`, `./ipollowork setup`, `./ipollowork dev` (use `.\ipollowork.cmd` on Windows)
$ git clone https://github.com/Devin-AXIS/iPolloWork.git

03DSH integration and capability boundaries
Optional DeepSeek Harness subagent runtime: iPolloWork delegates bounded task work to DSH subagents and brings structured results back into the same task; the integration is in active development and not yet included in the latest stable release
Agent-first execution
a described outcome / task→planned work executed with tools — files read and modified, commands run, continuing from the current state
modifies local filesruns commands on your machine (actions are presented for approval)Editable multi-format results
generated code, documents, decks, websites, designs and video→text, images, layout and scenes remain editable after generation
Local control & extensibility (BYOM)
your own model or provider; Skills, plugins, MCP servers and browser automation→an extended local workspace; optional iPolloCloud connection for identity and hosted services
network access to your model provideroptional iPolloCloud account when Cloud features are usedDeepSeek Harness subagent delegation (in development)
bounded work delegated from an iPolloWork task to DSH subagents→structured results brought back into the same task, with both ecosystems' Skills and plugins retained
integration is in active development and not included in the latest stable release yet
04Who is it for? When not to use it?
Good for
- Individuals and teams who want agent-generated deliverables they can keep inspecting and editing in one workspace
- Users who want hands-on control over a coding agent workflow — approving permissions and reviewing each step
- DeepSeek Harness users who want to combine DSH's specialized subagents with iPolloWork's editable workbench in one workflow
Not for
- The DeepSeek Harness subagent integration is in active development and is not included in the latest stable release yet — DSH delegation is not available in current released builds.
- iPolloWork uses the source-available iPolloWork Source Available License 1.0 (not OSI-approved open source): free only for individual personal self-use and internal use by fewer than three users; any broader, commercial or customer-facing use requires prior written authorization.

06Frequently asked questions
How does iPolloWork integrate with DeepSeek Harness?
DeepSeek Harness (DSH) is being integrated as an optional subagent runtime: iPolloWork stays the primary workspace, and a task can delegate bounded work to DSH subagents when useful, then bring structured results back into the same task. Both sides keep their own Skills and plugin ecosystems.
Is the DeepSeek Harness integration available in the current release?
Not yet. The README states the integration is in active development and is not included in the latest stable release yet.
What do I need to install iPolloWork?
Download the installer matching your OS and CPU from GitHub Releases (.dmg / .exe / .AppImage), or run from source with Git, Node.js 22 or newer, pnpm 11 via `corepack enable`, and Bun 1.3.10 or newer, then `./ipollowork setup` and `./ipollowork dev`.
Do I need an iPolloCloud account?
No. The Cloud connection is optional — local iPolloWork works without an account or commercial service, and you can bring your own model or provider.
What are the license terms?
iPolloWork uses the iPolloWork Source Available License 1.0: free only for individual personal self-use and small internal use by fewer than three users; any broader, commercial or customer-facing use requires prior written authorization.
