ACE combines an Electron shell, React overlay surfaces, a background DeepAgents runtime, live tool execution, and a package-driven registry model into one ambient environment for building and operating AI workflows.
See the current ACE experience in motion, including the overlay shell, package-driven UI surfaces, and the evolving agent runtime.
Open YouTube demonstrationElectron main hosts the process model and brokers RPC. The desktop renderer owns interface surfaces and UI state. The background runtime owns execution, orchestration, and non-visual AI behavior.
The result is a workspace that can expose agent activity live, render tool outputs richly, and keep runtime boundaries honest instead of collapsing everything into one renderer-side assistant.
Owns overlays, windows, widgets, and state presentation.
Acts as process host and transport broker.
Owns agents, tools, and orchestration logic.
Windows, widgets, components, and renderers feed the visual workspace layer.
Tools, processes, pipelines, and runtime behaviors power orchestration and execution.
