DeskAgent¶
Turn repetitive business tasks into one-click automation
DeskAgent is an AI-powered desktop assistant that connects your everyday tools - email, invoicing, support tickets - and automates the workflows that typically consume hours of your day.
The Problem We Solve¶
Every business professional struggles with the same productivity killers:
- Hours on email - Writing responses, following up, organizing your inbox
- Manual data entry - Creating quotes and invoices, copying between systems
- Support backlog - Researching answers, maintaining consistent quality
- Repetitive tasks - Same questions, same workflows, every single day
The Hidden Cost
Skilled employees spend 30-40% of their time on tasks that could be automated. For a €50/hour employee working 8 hours daily, that's €80-120 lost per day in productivity.
What DeskAgent Does For You¶
Real Time Savings¶
| Task | Before | After | Time Saved |
|---|---|---|---|
| Morning inbox triage (50 emails) | 45 min | 30 sec | 44 min |
| Drafting customer reply | 15 min | 1 min | 14 min |
| Creating a quote | 20 min | 2 min | 18 min |
| Matching payments to invoices | 30 min | 1 min | 29 min |
| Organizing weekly newsletter cleanup | 10 min | 0 | 10 min |
Bottom Line
Save 2+ hours daily - that's over 40 hours per month you get back for high-value work.
How It Works¶

A[Click agent tile or chat] --> B[AI understands intent]
B --> C[Tools execute actions]
C --> D[You review & approve]
D --> E[Task complete] Simple ways to start:
- Click an agent tile - Pre-built workflows for common tasks (Daily Check, Create Offer, etc.)
- Use the chat - Ask naturally: "Create an invoice for last month's consulting work"
- Define keyboard shortcuts - Trigger agents with a hotkey for instant access
What happens next:
- AI plans the steps and connects to your tools
- You review the results before anything is sent
- Task completed in seconds instead of minutes
Key Features¶
One-Click Workflows¶
Pre-built agents handle complex multi-step tasks:
| Agent | What It Does | Time Saved |
|---|---|---|
| Daily Check | Organizes inbox, flags important emails, archives newsletters | 30+ min/day |
| Create Offer | Extracts customer info, creates quote, emails PDF | 15+ min/offer |
| Check Payments | Matches bank transfers with open invoices | 20+ min/week |
| SEPA Transfers | Reads invoices, creates bank transfer files | 10+ min/invoice |
Deep Integration¶
Works with the tools you already use:
| Category | Supported Tools | What You Can Do |
|---|---|---|
| Email & Calendar | Microsoft Outlook | Read, reply, organize, schedule |
| Invoicing | Billomat, Lexware Office | Create quotes, invoices, track payments |
| Support | UserEcho | Monitor tickets, draft responses |
| Documents | ecoDMS, Paperless-ngx | Archive, search, organize |
| Banking | Any SEPA bank | Generate transfer files |
Multiple AI Backends¶
Choose the right AI for each task:
| Backend | Best For | Cost per 1M tokens | Quality |
|---|---|---|---|
| Claude | Complex reasoning, customer-facing | $3 / $15 | Premium |
| Gemini | Daily operations, high volume | $1.25 / $10 | Great |
| Ollama | Privacy-first, offline | Free | Basic |
Transparent Costs - Example Calculation
60 tasks per day with Gemini ≈ $1/day (~$20/month)
A typical task (reply to email, check inbox) uses about 15,000 tokens and costs ~$0.015-0.02. Choose the right model for each task - and switch anytime. No subscription traps, you only pay for what you use.
Local Models (Ollama)
Ollama requires strong local hardware (GPU with min. 8GB VRAM) and is not yet suitable for complex agentic tasks. For multi-step workflows, commercial models from Anthropic (Claude) or Google (Gemini) have a significant advantage.
Privacy & GDPR Ready¶
Your data stays protected:
- Runs locally - DeskAgent runs on your computer, not in the cloud
- Smart Anonymization - Personal data (names, emails, IBANs) is automatically replaced with placeholders before being sent to the AI. The AI only sees
[PERSON_1]or[EMAIL_1]. The placeholders are replaced with real data only on your computer. - You control - Review every email draft before it's sent
- Compliant - Built for EU data protection requirements
