## What it is
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
