Berd

Berd is a desktop app that lets you build, customize, and collaborate with AI agents. Instead of chatting with a single chatbot, you create a crew of agents — each with its own role, personality, and skill set — and put them to work on projects. The app runs locally on your machine and gives you full control over your data and the AI models you use.

The app feels more like a creative workspace than a chat interface. You can pin agents to the canvas, link projects to folders and repos, and switch between AI providers depending on the task — no need to pay for a big model when a smaller one gets the job done. Berd comes with a set of built-in agents like Berdy (a friendly assistant), Pushback (a critical reviewer), and Copycat (a style-learning writer), or you can build your own. It's also fully open-source, so you can inspect, modify, or extend it as you like.

Berd is ideal for developers, designers, and anyone who wants to experiment with AI agents beyond a simple chat window. Use it to automate repetitive tasks, brainstorm ideas with a team of agents, or build interactive prototypes — all without leaving a single application. Because it runs locally and supports multiple providers, it's especially useful for people who want flexibility and ownership over their AI tools.
