## What it is
Halo is an open-source desktop AI workstation that wraps frontier coding agents like Claude Code and Codex in a visual GUI, with a pluggable engine architecture, MCP/Skills compatibility, and an embedded AI-controllable browser. It runs fully locally and adds 7x24 autonomous 'AI Digital Humans' for scheduled tasks plus remote access from phone, tablet, or WeChat/WeCom.

## Use cases
- use claude code without a terminal
- run ai agents 24/7 on scheduled tasks
- automate web forms and scraping with an ai browser
- control my desktop ai agent remotely from my phone
- visual desktop gui for ai coding agents
- generate daily reports automatically with an ai agent
- manage ai agents from wechat or wecom
- local ai workstation with no cloud dependency

## When to choose
- you want Claude Code or Codex power in a friendly visual desktop app
- you need autonomous scheduled agents that monitor, crawl, and report around the clock
- you want remote control of a local AI workstation from mobile devices
- enterprise compliance requires data to stay on your machine
- you need browser automation driven by AI decisions instead of brittle RPA scripts

## When to avoid
- you prefer lightweight terminal-first CLI agent workflows
- you need a server-side multi-tenant deployment rather than a desktop app
- you require a permissively-audited license (license is marked NOASSERTION)
- you only need a simple chat UI without agent, browser, or scheduling features
