GoDesk AI · built into v0.15.27

AI runs the fleet.
You hold the keys.

Hand Claude or Cursor your machines — or use the agent built into GoDesk with your own API key. It reads every screen, moves the mouse, types, and runs the commands you approve, over the same encrypted relay that powers GoDesk remote desktop.

godesk ai — approval session
Read-only by defaultEvery write needs your ✓
See it work

From one prompt to three patched machines.

Claude asks, GoDesk plans, you approve — and the fleet updates while you watch. 26 seconds, no narration needed.

How it works

Three steps. Your keys, your approval.

Pick the model that fits how you work. Every action still passes through your approval and the same encrypted tunnel.

STEP 01
Enable AI Control

Turn on AI Control in Settings. GoDesk starts a local agent on each machine, locked to loopback (127.0.0.1) and gated by your fleet key. Nothing is exposed to the internet.

$ settings → ai control → ON
STEP 02
Connect an agent

Use the built-in agent with your own key — OpenRouter, OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, DeepSeek, GigaChat, Yandex and more. Or point Claude and Cursor at GoDesk over MCP.

$ claude mcp add godesk
STEP 03
Approve and watch

The agent proposes each action. It stays read-only by default, and every write step waits for your explicit yes. Every action lands in the audit log.

Why it matters

Hands-off operations, on your terms.

The agent handles the repetitive clicking across your fleet while you keep the keys, the approval, and the record.

Bring your own model

Use the API key you already pay for. GoDesk never marks up tokens and never sees your prompts.

Whole-fleet reach

One agent operates every PC in your address book, not only the machine in front of you.

Approval by default

It runs read-only until you allow more. Each write action needs an explicit yes before it fires.

Full audit trail

Every command, approval, and result is recorded in the audit log, so you can replay exactly what happened.

01 / Encrypted relay
Same tunnel as remote desktop

Agent traffic rides the existing encrypted GoDesk port-forward tunnel. The agent daemon only listens on 127.0.0.1.

02 / MCP + built-in
Two control models

External agents like Claude and Cursor connect through godesk-mcp. The built-in agent runs with your provider key. Both dispatch through the same approval broker.

03 / Fleet key
Per-fleet authentication

Each agent daemon is locked to a deterministic fleet key issued by your account, so only your client can drive your machines.

Side by side

The big guys charge more. For less.

Verified list prices, June 2026. TeamViewer's median real spend is $10,424/year once add-ons land — GoDesk Pro is $96/year, flat.

The honest part

We're a small team.
That's the feature.

No investor deck telling us to raise prices. No enterprise sales floor to feed. We ship the AI feature the incumbents are still running focus groups about — and charge less than they ask for screen sharing alone.
