PilotDeck is an open-source, task-oriented AI agent productivity platform built around the concept of a WorkSpace. Developed jointly by OpenBMB with Tsinghua University’s THUNLP lab, ModelBest and AI9Stars, it has earned more than 4,800 stars on GitHub and reached version 2.0 in 2026.
PilotDeck describes itself as an agent operating system for general-purpose, multi-task work. Each WorkSpace organises a task’s context, files and evolving memory, so long-running agent work stays coherent across very long interactions; the team highlights projects spanning thousands of interaction messages. The 2.0 release added one-click installation and visual configuration to make the platform approachable beyond developers, plus built-in skills that produce office-ready Word, Excel and PowerPoint deliverables from a single request. A live demo and tutorials are available on the official website, and the platform targets people who want agents to carry real knowledge-work tasks through to finished outputs rather than chat snippets.
PilotDeck is developed jointly by academic and industry teams, including Tsinghua University’s THUNLP group and ModelBest, and the project actively welcomes community contributions, feedback and stars through GitHub. Its website provides tutorials and quick-start guides for new users, and the team positions the WorkSpace concept as a way to redefine the operational boundaries of agents, letting memory evolve with each task instead of resetting between sessions.
PilotDeck is free and open source under the AGPL-3.0 license. You can try the live demo on the official website and install the full platform yourself at no cost.
PilotDeck is for knowledge workers, researchers and builders who want an agent platform for sustained productivity work, not just quick questions. It suits users managing many parallel tasks who need an agent system that remembers context, organises workspaces and produces finished documents and spreadsheets.
