Kun is a local-first AI agent workspace that lets AI plan, execute, verify, and deliver real work in coding, writing, design, research, and automation tasks. It provides a desktop GUI and a terminal TUI sharing one local runtime, with task plans, approvals, and evidence kept continuous across both interfaces.

Use cases

  • run an AI coding agent that edits files, runs tests, and reviews diffs locally
  • draft and organize documents, analyze PDFs and spreadsheets with an AI assistant
  • automate repetitive workflows with scheduled tasks, loops, hooks, and MCP tools
  • switch between desktop GUI and terminal TUI without losing session state
  • connect multiple LLM providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, and self-hosted models
  • prototype designs and hand off design context to code in one task

When to choose

  • you want a local-first agent workspace with full control over tool permissions and approvals
  • you need both a desktop GUI and a keyboard-driven TUI backed by the same runtime
  • you want one tool covering coding, writing, document analysis, and automation
  • you want to use various model providers or self-hosted models without vendor lock-in

When to avoid

  • you need a fully permissive open-source license — it uses PolyForm Noncommercial 1.0.0
  • you only need a lightweight CLI agent without a desktop app
  • you require commercial usage rights
  • you want a purely cloud-hosted agent service rather than a local runtime
