Orkas
by Orkas-AI
Orkas is a free desktop app for macOS and Windows that runs a team of AI agents, led by a "Commander" that turns your goals into to-dos and hands them to specialist agents. It is meant for ongoing work such as research, content, design, office documents and e-commerce tasks, with projects and scheduled automations.

What you can do with it
- Give the Commander a goal and let it split the work into to-dos handled by specialist agents
- Produce posts, slide decks, images, videos, voice-overs and Word, Excel or PDF files
- Schedule routine tasks to run hourly, daily, weekly or monthly, and run e-commerce research, listings and sales analysis
Make money with it
A freelancer could offer content packages, such as articles, slide decks and short promo videos, using the agents to speed up production.

Ways a business could use it

Getting it running
Download the installer for macOS or Windows from the Orkas website; it includes 500 free credits for the built-in model, or you can add your own API keys.
Follow the official instructions in the project README.
Things to check
- The built-in model uses a limited credit allowance (500 credits), so heavy use needs your own paid API keys
- Scheduled automations only run while the computer is on and Orkas is open
- Some features depend on connecting third-party accounts, so check what access you grant
- Video recreation results are not guaranteed to match the reference exactly
