## What is MATLOOK Agent?
MATLOOK Agent is the intelligent work assistant from MATLOOK, built for architectural interiors with a local-first approach. Organize conversations by project, analyze catalogs, schedules and quotations, and preserve reviewed conclusions as traceable knowledge. AI helps organize and analyze; people decide on design, materials, procurement and delivery.
## How does it relate to the MATLOOK website?
[www.matlook.com](https://www.matlook.com/) is the main MATLOOK website. [MATLOOK Agent](/welcome) is its Agent tool for documents, project collaboration and knowledge work. This guide covers MATLOOK Agent, rather than the main MATLOOK website.
## Where can you start?
| Your task | Workflow in MATLOOK Agent | Human review |
|---|---|---|
| Compare materials or brands | Provide candidates and criteria; request a source-based table | Specifications, quotations, suitability and samples |
| Check design references | Provide identified revisions; collect conflicts and missing information | Drawing interpretation, site conditions and resolutions |
| Coordinate project work | Organize conversations using projects, statuses and labels | Owners, dates and deliverables |
| Preserve experience | Import sources, review drafts and retain references | Scope and validity of each conclusion |
## Choose your working environment
Use the desktop app for local folders, tools and model connections. The web app offers cloud work and remote access to computers on the same account. Android is mainly a companion for projects, conversations and approvals. Remote work runs on the original computer. See [installation](../installation/) and [remote access](../remote-access/).
## What does local-first mean?
Installed local tools, document parsing and knowledge full-text search have a local path. Online models, web search and integrations require their connections. Local inference requires a model service you configure yourself. MATLOOK Agent does not bundle or automatically start a model runtime.
