## Description

gawkbot is a desktop application for macOS and Windows that detects and adopts AI coding agents already running on your machine — including Claude Code, Codex, Opencode, and many others — and organizes them into a team led by an AI Chief of Staff. Each agent becomes a managed bot with its own screen, scheduled routines, self-authored tools, a knowledge wiki with citations, typed data tables, and access to 1200+ integrations via Composio. The Chief of Staff breaks down workflows, assigns tasks, and routes every external action through an approval gate that waits for your click in the Mac notch or on the iPhone companion app. The Mac app lives in the camera notch (or a pill on notch-less Macs) with keyboard shortcuts, voice input, and per-event sounds. The iPhone app mirrors the inbox with hold-to-talk replies. All workspace data stays in local files under ~/.wuphf/ with no required database. The web UI runs on port 7891 by default. Licensed under the Sustainable Use License (source-available, free for self-hosting and non-commercial use).
