Halo is a desktop application that gives non-technical users access to an AI agent that can run autonomously around the clock. Rather than requiring constant back-and-forth conversation, you set a goal and Halo works independently, checking in with you only at key decision points. The application is built on top of Claude Code and adds a complete product layer on top of it. Its headline features include an "Artifact Rail" that previews generated code, HTML, and images in real time as the AI creates them, "Remote Access" so you can monitor and control the AI from your phone, web browser, or WeChat at any time, and an embedded "AI Browser", a real web browser the AI can control directly to carry out tasks on websites. "AI Digital Humans" are scheduled agents you configure once and leave running. Examples from the README include pushing a daily news digest, checking service status every hour, running competitive analyses on a schedule, and tracking keyword mentions across social media. You can install pre-built Digital Humans from a store or create your own using plain language. WeChat serves as a two-way control panel for communicating with these agents remotely. To make browser automation more reliable, Halo uses "Browser Skills", reusable scripts pre-written for specific websites. Instead of the AI figuring out where to click each time, it calls a known-good script and gets structured data back. Ready-made Skills are available for platforms mentioned in the README such as Bilibili, Zhihu, WeChat, and Xiaohongshu. Halo is available for macOS, Windows, Linux, Android, and iOS, and requires no terminal setup to install. The full README is longer than what was provided.
