Orbit is not another chatbot. It sees your screen, understands the software in front of you, and helps you get real work done.

Control your browser

Create real documents
Go from a rough idea to a polished deliverable. Orbit can help draft documents, shape presentations, work with PDFs, and produce structured outputs — not just chat replies.

Trust has to be architectural.
Orbit does not quietly record your desktop. It captures exactly when you ask it to, uses that image for the active turn, and keeps the rest of the app lightweight, inspectable, and grounded in user intent.
Open source
Free. Open source. Built for everyone.
Orbit is MIT-licensed and entirely open source. You can inspect every line, contribute, or fork it. The only thing you need is a ChatGPT subscription to power the AI.

Under the hood, Orbit connects to OpenAI through your existing ChatGPT account. You get a personal desktop assistant powered by the same models behind ChatGPT — without needing to learn anything new.
The product experience is designed to feel like an always-near companion, not a developer console. Orbit brings the power of AI agents to people who would never open a terminal, making advanced capabilities feel natural and approachable.
