Your real workspace,
in a world you can walk.
The Lot is a Windows app where your actual logged-in Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor hang as screens inside a 3D world — a world with residents. The secretary at the front desk answers when you talk or type, and runs your instructions on the real apps. Not screenshots. Not a simulation of work. The real sessions on the wall, and somebody home.
Get the playtest buildWhat it actually is
Every "AI workspace" demo you've seen puts fake terminals in a pretty room. This one hangs the software you already pay for on the wall and lets you walk up to it.
Your apps, not mockups
The Claude desktop app on one wall, claude.ai on the next, Cursor across the room — the real windows and the real pages, logged into your accounts.
Any screen, about 200 ms away
A chord puts you in the chair at any surface, with your keyboard and mouse landing where you expect. Distance stopped being a cost, so the room got to be a room.
The front desk answers
Talk to the secretary, or press Enter and type — she answers out loud, hands your instruction to the right screen, and tells you when it lands.
Somewhere worth being
A mountainside house with a work room, a lounge and a view. Screens go where you put them, and stay there.
The residents
The screens are half of it. The other half is that the place is inhabited — not avatars of other people, but the AI you already work with, living here as characters who really do the work.
Amara, at the front desk
She meets you on your first run, gives you the tour in person, and takes a new name if Amara isn't to your taste. Voice or text, she is the one you talk to — and the one who dispatches.
The staff
Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and Grok live here as characters — at their desks by the screens they answer for, wandering the halls between jobs, walking over to knock when your work is done.
Their brains are your keys
Amara thinks with your own Claude login — the subscription you already pay for, nothing metered by us. Add an OpenRouter key and the residents wake up with small talk of their own. Without either, the world still runs, and she says so instead of pretending.
What it does to your computer
Every honest description of this app reads a little like a description of malware, because putting your real software inside a game engine requires real access. Here is the whole list, and the limit on each one.
-
It reads the pixels of other windows That is the product — your apps on in-world screens. Only windows you name in your own config, and the image never leaves your GPU.
-
It installs global keyboard hooks Three keys: two for push-to-talk, one to stand up from a screen. Nothing is logged. The escape key is the only one it swallows, because an escape hatch another app can eat is not an escape hatch.
-
It can attach a virtual display driver An optional add-on that gives the world a monitor of its own to mirror. Microsoft-signed, MIT-licensed, shipped unmodified. Attached on start, detached on exit, and the app runs without it.
-
It takes the foreground and moves your mouse Only when you sit down at a screen, because that is what sitting down means. Every failure path hands control back, and F8 always stands you up.
-
It runs agents that read and write your files The point of an AI workspace. Permission-gated, and refusals are shown rather than swallowed.
What leaves your machine
Five hosts, each one nameable — and every AI provider on the list is one you configured yourself.
Anthropic
The secretary's brain, on your own logged-in Claude session or a key you add.
OpenRouter
The residents' own chatter, when you give them a key.
Microsoft
Her free voice — the lines she speaks are synthesized there. Hearing you stays on this machine.
ElevenLabs
A nicer voice, if you switch it on.
Wigley Studios
Bug reports — only when you press F11 and choose to send one.
That is the entire list. There is no telemetry endpoint, no analytics service and no phone-home — the bridge between the world and its brain never leaves localhost. Worth stating as named hosts rather than as "we don't collect anything", because a list is checkable and a promise isn't.
Requirements
- Operating systemWindows 10 or 11, 64-bit
- GraphicsA GPU that handles a modern 3D game
- DiskAbout 4 GB installed
- AccountsYour own Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor logins — the app supplies none
- OptionalA microphone, to talk to the secretary out loud — Enter and typing work without one
Download the playtest build
This build is invite-only for now. Enter the password you were given.
Already have it? See what changed in 0.54.4.
Two shapes of the same build. Take whichever suits you — the contents are identical.
Signed by Wigley Studios LLC. Both downloads carry an extended-validation Authenticode signature, so Windows should not show “Windows protected your PC”. Right-click either file → Properties → Digital Signatures to see it for yourself. Earlier builds were unsigned and did warn; that is what this fixes.
Expect rough edges, and tell me about them. Press F11 anywhere in the app to send a report; it shows you everything it is about to send before it sends it. If that window will not open, report it from here instead.
The paperwork
Written to be read rather than clicked past — the same list of hosts and capabilities as the sections above, in the form you can hold someone to, plus the running record of what has changed in each build. The app links to all four from its own menus.
