Set up OpenWork — the free, open-source desktop AI worker — and give it its first real job tonight. Tested on camera 19 Aug 2026: a 17-file disaster folder sorted and renamed by meaning, with $238 of forgotten invoices surfaced, on the free built-in model, no account, no card.

The companion guide to the video. THE 10-MINUTE SETUP: the download for Mac/Windows/Linux, the one-paste install prompt for any AI agent you already have, why you pick 'Use Without Cloud' (no account, no email, no card), and 'Skip and use the free model' — the exact free path our whole on-camera test ran on. TEN COPY-PASTE JOBS, each with the ready-to-paste prompt and the one line that makes it work: The Downloads Rescue (the exact job from the video — it surfaced $238 in overlooked invoices for us), The Receipt Shoebox, The Screenshot Untangler, The Meeting Debrief, The Spreadsheet Cleanup, The Weekly Report Writer, The Contract Skim, The Duplicate Hunter, The Idea Bank Consolidator, and The Money Sweep. THE SAFETY CHECKLIST: how its real permission system works (Deny / Allow once / Allow for session), the sandbox-first week, the ban-deletion rule, and when NOT to point an agent at your files. THE MODEL CHEAT SHEET: free starter model (limited-time, honest caveats) vs bring-your-own API key vs fully local — and the MCP sleeper feature that carries your setup into Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor.
