Stardock has announced Clairvoyance, a new AI workspace application — now in alpha — that runs on a user’s PC or Mac. The app treats AI agents as persistent “staff” assigned to local workspaces, with controls for which AI provider each staff member uses and what restrictions apply.
Clairvoyance frames its assistants as ongoing entities rather than isolated chat threads. Users add staff members by naming them and assigning them to a workspace, then choosing an AI provider such as Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, or GitHub Copilot. The feature set available to a staff member depends on the provider selected, with Clairvoyance exposing provider specific capabilities through its interface.
The app bundles tools that staff can use while working, with Notes, Reports, Canvases, and Exhibits among the built in options. Staff can take notes and store them locally for later reference, so a staff member can carry context across sessions and improve its output over time based on what it has saved.
Clairvoyance offers support for the Agent Communication Protocol, or ACP, which is a way to treat installed AI command line tools as platforms that are communicated with through an API. This structure can support richer text and graphic output and tighter UI integration while keeping data on the user’s machine.

Brad Wardell, CEO of Stardock Software, said the product is meant to give users something closer to an AI team. “The idea is to give every person their own AI team to work with,” he said. “While power users have already seen dramatic gains of working with AI via terminals, most users struggle to become more productive with AI tools, rarely moving beyond treating AI as a glorified chatbot.”
Clairvoyance also supports interactive “Exhibits” that can be created from the chat interface or from an Exhibit panel and then assigned to a workspace. These are interactive creations that can include presentations, mockups, dashboards, tools, or games, and says they can be viewed in the app, full screen, or in a web browser with responsive design elements.
One example Stardock provided involves turning a GitHub repository into an interactive exhibit. It cited X.com’s open sourced algorithm as a possible exhibit source, describing it as a way to explore improvements to social media engagement.
The app also includes visibility features for tracking work done by staff. Users can review files that staff have revised, offering a way to monitor changes over time and understand what actions were taken inside a workspace.
Although staff are connected to workspaces on a user’s own machine, users can communicate with them remotely from a web browser or mobile device.
Clairvoyance includes scheduled tasks that let users run staff work at set times, such as a daily sentiment report, reviewing code check ins from the previous day, or producing a suggested list of Jira tasks for the day.
Clairvoyance Alpha 1 is available to Object Desktop subscribers. You can find out more and join the Beta waitlist here.
