Switching from OpenClaw, Hermes Agent, or ChatGPT? Skales has a built-in migration importer. Settings > Import from Another Tool.

"From every tool I've tested in this space, I haven't found one that delivers intelligence without complexity, a companion instead of a tool, visualization without needing to write code, or value without hype. Skales has the foundation to tell that story. No one else in this landscape is close." — @v33-kind, Community Contributor

⚡ Why Skales?

Skales is an AI agent that lives on your desktop. Not in a browser tab, not behind a restrictive API, not in a complex Docker container. It sits on your machine, has access to your files, your browser, your calendar, your email, and it does real work.

A 6-year-old built a game with it. A grandmother approved the setup.

🚀 What Skales Can Do

🧩 Agent Skills (Open Standard)

Import skills from the Agent Skills format used by Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot, and Cursor. Paste a GitHub URL, select a local folder, or paste SKILL.md content. Imported skills work across Chat, Codework, Browser, Spotlight, and Lio AI. Browse 1000+ community skills.

🛠️ Skales Codework

Select any project folder. Describe the task. Pick your model. Watch the agent read your files, plan an approach, write code, run tests, and show you live diffs in a 3-panel GUI. Session history, follow-up conversations, undo support. Like Cursor or Claude Code, but built into your desktop agent.
