Desktop Agent Center is a local-first tool that uses global hotkeys and clipboard monitoring to send selected text to AI web interfaces like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity. It automates the workflow of querying AI assistants without requiring API keys, offering a seamless integration with existing accounts. The project is interesting for its multi-provider support and local automation, though it relies on third-party web services for processing.
