Desktop Bridge
The Desktop Bridge runs quietly on your home computer. From your phone, your office, or anywhere — Zoe can read your local files, run scripts, organize folders, and execute local automations as if you were sitting right there.
Every other AI tool
Lives in the cloud. Can't touch your local files. Can't run your scripts. Can't access the apps installed on your machine. The moment you close the browser, it stops.
Zoe + Desktop Bridge
Your home machine is always available to your agents — local files, local scripts, local apps. Encrypted end-to-end. Sandboxed to the paths you approve. Controlled by your policy settings.
What the bridge enables
Read, write, and organize files on your home machine — even when you're away. Agents access exactly the directories you approve, nothing more.
Run local scripts, automations, and processes via agents. Whether it's a data pipeline, a build script, or a local app — Zoe can trigger it remotely.
Access your iCloud Drive and local folders as first-class storage destinations. No OAuth required — the bridge handles it securely from your machine.
All bridge communication is encrypted end-to-end. Only you hold the keys. Zoe's servers never see your local file contents.
The bridge maintains a persistent connection via Server-Sent Events. Agents dispatch work to your machine and receive results in real time.
All file and script operations are sandboxed to your configured workspace path. Agents cannot access paths outside what you've explicitly approved.
