## Core capabilities
- **Native desktop experience** — A PySide6 native client — not a browser wrapper — with local windows, shortcuts and system integration that keep working offline.
- **Chat & agents** — A task-oriented agent harness: multi-turn planning, tool calling and result collection that break complex work into automatable steps.
- **RAG retrieval** — An embedded WeKnora sidecar delivers retrieval-augmented, traceable answers from local and private knowledge bases.
- **MCP tool access** — Standard MCP connects enterprise systems and tools, linking digital employees to existing business with pluggable capabilities.
- **Document & PPT** — Intelligent creation from raw material to finished drafts — one click to structured documents and decks.
- **Offline licensing** — SN offline licensing (Ed25519 verification) enables fully on-prem, data-stays-in-domain deployment for compliance.

## Highlights
### Not just chat — it finishes the job
ThinkWork is an agent harness: understand the task, plan steps, call MCP tools and the knowledge base, and produce documents and PPT — automating repetitive knowledge work.

### Models from ThinkMaaS, knowledge from WeKnora
It builds no model: capabilities come from the ThinkMaaS gateway while the WeKnora sidecar gives traceable retrieval — permissions and quotas centrally governed.

## Use cases
Government/enterprise office · Knowledge-intensive roles · Research & analysis · Proposal & report authoring · Air-gapped networks
