Using Open Interpreter with lite.computer

Open Interpreter makes a desktop agent for everyday work that crosses apps, files, browser tabs, spreadsheets and PDFs. It can operate other apps by clicking and typing, and it pauses for your approval before it sends, submits, deletes or overwrites anything.

The desktop app is a free download for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. People in fields like finance, sales, legal and real estate are the audience it is written for.

Set it up

When Interpreter asks for a workspace folder, choose your Showspace, and the pages it makes land in lite.computer.
In lite.computer, click the account button at the bottom of the sidebar (it reads Free trial until you buy), choose Agent Helper, and copy the Setup prompt. Paste it into Open Interpreter. If Open Interpreter cannot remember it between chats, it gives you a short note to paste at the start of each new chat. If you would rather Open Interpreter check first, ask it to read lite.computer/setup instead.

Try this prompt

Once setup is done, put a copy of sales.xlsx, or any source file you want it to read, in your Showspace, then paste this.

Here is a starter prompt. How well it works depends on how your AI is set up, so adjust it to fit yours.

Paste into Open Interpreter

Read sales.xlsx in my Showspace and build an interactive monthly dashboard: a filter for region, a sortable table of the biggest accounts, and charts that animate in and update as you filter. Save it as a single self-contained HTML file in my Showspace.

Good to know

You can pin several agents, each with its own workspace. One can stay pointed at your Showspace while the others work in different folders.
There is also a terminal version for developers, run as interpreter.
We have not tested Open Interpreter with lite.computer ourselves. These instructions are based on research. Try saving one HTML page to your Showspace first. If a step needs correcting, email hello@lite.computer.

Questions

Does Open Interpreter work with lite.computer?

Yes. Pick your Showspace as its workspace folder and the desktop app saves HTML pages there, and lite.computer shows each one as it lands.

What do I need to start with Open Interpreter?

The free desktop app and a model. Connect your own model provider, or run a local model through Ollama or LM Studio.
