LanMate Overview
LanMate is a local-first AI work execution platform by Lanxin. It goes beyond chat — it gets the job done on your local machine: reading and writing files, running code, generating documents, and controlling browsers, with every change producing a reviewable, undoable diff.
Core Capabilities
| Capability | Description |
|---|---|
| Local Execution | Files, code, and data processed entirely on your machine; built-in offline Python environment |
| Lansenger Collaboration | Sign in with Lansenger QR code, bind a personal bot; send commands from your phone, your computer executes |
| Multi-Agent Orchestration | Taskboard dispatch, expert rooms, scheduled jobs — multiple agents working in parallel |

Three Work Modes
| Mode | Best For | Typical Tasks |

| Office | Documents, data, reports | Writing proposals, building decks, processing Excel, generating reports |
| Coding | Software engineering | Code refactoring, bug fixes, API docs, code review |

The mode is set when the session is created and locked during the conversation. Different modes use different system prompt emphases.

Workflow at a Glance
One complete loop of use:
- New task: pick a mode and project, describe the need in one sentence
- Provide context: @ reference files, sessions, or tasks; drag attachments into the composer
- Agent executes: tool calls are visible in real time; approval cards pop when confirmation is needed
- Review output: diffs, document previews, and files in the right panel
- Iterate or deliver: keep refining, or export, commit, and archive
Data stays on your machine throughout; approval and the sandbox control the boundaries; artifacts are reviewable and reversible.
