## Architecture Design

A task goes to a language model, which chooses file, web, and terminal tools, then delivers the result for human review

Both distributions include Simplified Chinese and English interfaces. Choose a language and official service region in General settings. The domestic installer is named 馆长 and updates from COS; the international installer is named NCurator and updates from R2. Changing the service region does not change the update channel. ## Capabilities | Capability | What it does | | ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | 📄 Office documents | Read, create, and edit DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, and plain text; read PDFs | | 🧠 Local knowledge base | Index local folders and web material, retrieve content, and cite sources | | 🔍 Web search | Search the web, read page content, and use the built-in browser | | 💻 Local terminal | Run local commands and scripts for data processing and task automation | | 🧩 Custom Skills | Create, import, and edit Skills; enable them per partner and load them as needed. Maintain reusable workflows and delivery requirements through chat | | ✍️ Change review | Preview results, inspect changes, and revert supported file edits | | 🔗 WPS integration | Click an AI change to open the document at that location in WPS; auto-refresh after AI edits or reverts | | ⏰ Scheduled tasks | Run tasks on a schedule using a partner's material and model configuration | WPS integration requires its add-in to be enabled. To jump to a change, set WPS as the default app for that file type. See the [setup guide](https://www.ncurator.com/en/manual#wps-integration). See the [website](https://www.ncurator.com/en) for demos and real task examples. ## Get started 1. Download and install the Windows or macOS app. 2. Choose an available model or configure your own endpoint and API key. 3. Create a partner, add a working folder, and give it a task. To use the knowledge base, download an embedding model and build an index first. ## Roadmap Current progress and planned work.
