Say it once.Deska does the rest.
Dex is Deska's own assistant, and it lives inside the workspace. It can see your panels, your project and your terminals, and it can act on all three. Speak or type, and it does the work instead of describing it.
One sentence.Every agent in motion.
Hold a key, say what you need, let go. Deska turns that sentence into work and hands each piece to the right agent. You just watch the turn close.
It works from any app. Deska stays in the background while a small pill shows Dex listening, working or answering.
All done. The test passes, Codex approved the diff, 12 tests green.
It does not answer with instructions. It does the thing.
Dex carries a toolbox for the workspace itself, so a sentence turns into actions you can watch.

Beyond this desk

- Wake a Cloud boxNaming a sleeping Deska Cloud computer wakes it first.
- Keep the conversationEvery exchange survives a restart and shows up on your phone.
- Ask before actingTurn off Act without asking and it confirms before closing or deleting.
Every action is shown as it happens, and Esc interrupts.
It can see your workspace
Dex knows which panels are open, which project you are in and what the terminals are doing, so "run the tests" needs no further explanation.
It routes to the right tool
One sentence can open a panel, start Claude Code, run a command and write a note. You watch each step tick off instead of copying between windows.
