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.
- Deskworth’s 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.
