Hi 👋

Suggesting AI Workdeck for inclusion — fits well under 🚀 Advanced AI Agents or 📀 RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation).

Project: github.com/zeweihan/aiworkdeck

Tagline: An open-source, AI-native workspace for legal and document-heavy workflows — think "the IDE for legal work" with a plugin marketplace, on-device inference, and a built-in evidence-chain / due-diligence pipeline.

Why it belongs here:

Agent + RAG, end-to-end: clause-level risk flagging, cross-reference resolution, and retrieval over private corpora — all runnable fully locally (Ollama + local embeddings + on-disk storage).
Plugin marketplace: domain skills (contract review, OCR pipelines, citation graphing) ship as installable plugins, mirroring the "skills/composable agents" pattern this list celebrates.
Self-hostable / AGPL-3.0: no vendor lock-in, deployable via Docker or the desktop (Electron) build — aligns with the list's "actually run it" ethos.
Vertical depth: legal/compliance is one of the hardest document domains; the repo is a concrete reference for agents that must be auditable and citation-grounded (vs. free-form chat).

Stack: Java/Spring Boot + Vue + Electron + Docker.

Currently 45⭐, actively developed (v0.2.x). Happy to send a PR adding the entry to the README if maintainers prefer — just point me at the section.

Thanks for maintaining this awesome resource!

Thanks for the +1, @Huaian666 — really appreciate the validation.

To add context for @Shubhamsaboo when reviewing: AI Workdeck specifically targets the gap between general-purpose LLM apps and document-heavy professional workflows. The differentiators that matter for the "Advanced AI Agents" / "RAG" sections here:

Local-first by default — Ollama + local storage, so privileged documents (contracts, case files) never leave the machine. This is a hard requirement for legal/compliance, not a nice-to-have.
Plugin marketplace + pluggable component architecture (RFC #14) — the workbench itself is extensible; clause extraction, OCR, redlining, due-diligence flagging are all plugins rather than baked-in features.
Evidence-chain / audit logging — every AI action is traceable, which is what makes it usable in regulated contexts where "the AI said so" isn't an acceptable answer.

Open source (AGPLv3), desktop-first (Electron), actively shipping (v0.2.1 just released). Happy to adjust the entry's section/category if a maintainer prefers a different fit.
