{"en":"The difference from a chat-only assistant is that long-running desktop sessions, permission gates, and local tool execution are already implemented as product features rather than only as an agent SDK. It is aimed at users who want an agent involved directly in files, Office documents, browser work, and scheduled tasks.","zh":"它和纯聊天助手的区别在于桌面端长期会话、权限控制和本地工具执行都已经被做成产品层，而不是只提供一个 Agent SDK。更适合希望让 Agent 直接参与文件、Office、浏览器和定时任务的桌面工作流。"}

{"en":"LobsterAI is a desktop agent application maintained by NetEase Youdao. It operates inside the user’s local working environment and can work with files, terminal commands, browser workflows, documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and project workspaces. The desktop layer manages sessions, permissions, UI state, artifacts, memory, and IM bindings, while OpenClaw runs agent execution underneath.\n\nUsers can create multiple agents with separate model choices, skills, working directories, and IM bindings, or install scenario-oriented Expert Kits. The repository lists 28 built-in skills covering web search, Word documents, spreadsheets, PowerPoint, PDF processing, browser automation, media generation, email, and other tasks, with MCP servers available for additional tools and data sources.\n\nSensitive file, terminal, and network actions are permission-gated. Session and application data are stored locally in SQLite, and official installers are provided for macOS and Windows.","zh":"LobsterAI 是网易有道维护的桌面 Agent 应用，运行在真实本地工作环境中，可以处理文件、终端命令、浏览器流程、文档、表格、演示文稿以及项目工作区。桌面层负责会话、权限、界面状态、产物、记忆和 IM 绑定，底层通过 OpenClaw 执行 Agent 任务。\n\n用户可以创建多个具有独立模型、技能、工作目录和 IM 绑定的 Agent，也可以安装场景化 Expert Kits。项目内置 28 个技能，覆盖网页搜索、Word、电子表格、PowerPoint、PDF、浏览器自动化、图像视频生成、邮件等，并支持继续接入 MCP Server。\n\n敏感的文件、终端或网络操作需要经过权限确认；会话和应用数据保存在本地 SQLite。官方提供 macOS 与 Windows 安装包。"}
