About LobsterAI
LobsterAI is an open-source desktop AI assistant designed for office productivity tasks. It operates directly in the user's working environment, handling local files, terminal commands, browser workflows, and document processing. The software is built by NetEase Youdao and supports integration with various messaging platforms for remote control.
