An extendable launcher that puts your tools, AI, and automations one keystroke away
Open apps, run commands, and search files from a single hotkey, with thousands of community extensions connecting the services you already use.
Chat with leading AI models, call Quick AI from any app, and let AI Extensions act on your connected tools to finish multi-step tasks.
Browse everything you have copied and insert frequently used text or addresses by simply typing a keyword.
Create shortcuts that launch URLs, run scripts, or trigger commands, and assign hotkeys or aliases to the actions you repeat most.

Run and scale durable AI agents on your own infrastructure
Every Actor gets a SQLite database and a filesystem, so an agent's memory and progress survive restarts and idle periods without a separate database.
Run untrusted or AI-generated code on your own infrastructure with fine-grained control over network access, filesystem permissions, and resource limits.
A node failure reschedules its Actors elsewhere with state intact, and multi-step work replays after a crash — with no checkpointing harness to build yourself.
Address an Actor directly over HTTP or hold a live WebSocket, and use the React SDK to subscribe components to an Actor's state in real time.

Free / Open-sourceOffers a powerful self-hosted chat interface for local models, but lacks desktop command-palette integration and system window management.
#3SpecialistDelivers a polished productivity workspace with built-in AI writing tools, but operates as a note-taker rather than a launcher.

SpecialistIntegrates AI assistance directly into a modern terminal environment, but is restricted to command-line workflows rather than general OS launching.

Free / Open-sourceThe TypeScript framework for building, deploying, and observing AI agents

Free / Open-sourceRuns open-weight models locally on consumer hardware with an open-source client, but does not serve as a system launcher.
The low-cost cloud sandbox where AI agents actually live

Self-hosted cloud development environments and AI coding agents for enterprise teams

SpecialistCaptures background workflow history across apps for AI context, but is strictly tailored for developer code snippet management.

SpecialistTracks daily work context automatically to assist with tasks, but lacks Raycast's lightning-fast command palette and script extensions.
