ANKITA

Ankita is an AI agent tool, delivered as an open-source desktop assistant for Windows x64, that combines chat with direct control of your computer in one workspace. Instead of only answering questions, it carries out tasks on the machine with a visible pointer, so you can watch it open apps, fill forms, and manage files while it works. It integrates with ChatGPT through a browser companion, preserves context across a session, and includes terminal and code capabilities for technical work. Ankita organises work around named AI teammates, Chief, Research, and Builder, each handling a different category of task, and it supports pausing and resuming a session so long jobs can be stopped and picked up later. Configuration is stored locally. For anyone comparing the best AI agent tools for hands-on desktop automation, Ankita is free and open-source under the MIT license, downloadable as an installer or portable executable from GitHub, which makes it easy to inspect and self-host. It is aimed at researchers, builders, and knowledge workers who want to cut repetitive manual steps and reduce switching between chat and their desktop tools. It currently runs on Windows x64 only.
