What Deskworth is for
A research desk for one person, built so that every figure keeps its trail and no agent can quietly widen its reach.
Deskworth is a desktop application that turns the model subscriptions you already pay for into a research desk with named mandates. It is local-first, it holds no key of yours, and it does not resell you a model.
#The three commitments
- Every conclusion keeps its trail. A figure without a source and a retrieval date does not ship.
- Adopt is not execute. There is no write path to a broker, and the feed trait exposes no write method — verifiable by compilation rather than by policy.
- The server never sees your work. It carries accounts, licences and updates. Cut it off and the application still runs.
#Why named roles rather than one assistant
Not because a specialist model is smarter, but because a mandate is a written limit and a limit is what makes a wrong answer visible. A role that may read filings and may not reach the open web cannot substitute a blog post for a 10-K. A role that owns the workbook format is the only one that can produce one.
LimitThere is no team page here, no customer list and no adoption figure — there is nothing to show, and inventing any of it would contradict everything above.
