AI WorkDeck: professional document workspace. Open-source workspace for professional document AI.

In simple English

This program helps professionals review and edit documents using artificial intelligence. It shows changes like track changes in Word so you can accept or reject them one by one. It also lets you click a citation to view the original source document. You can download and run it on your own computer for free. The licence requires you to share your changes if you modify and host the code online.

What it is

An open-source desktop workspace that combines an editor, project files, and artificial intelligence agents for professional document work. It uses Java and an embedded document editor to handle tracked changes, three-way document merges, and source citations.

What it is good for

Solo builders and legal professionals who want to review AI-generated contract edits with strict source verification and a clear audit trail.
