Overview
Skywork is an AI workspace from Kunlun Tech, and its own site calls it the originator of AI workspace agents. The shape is not a single agent but a layer: projects and a knowledge base on the left, conversation and execution in the middle, SkyClaw as a standing assistant on the right, and a capability bar underneath holding Websites, Slides, Documents, Posters, Images, Sheets, Videos and Scheduled Tasks.
What separates it from a plain chat product is the Expert marketplace. The team has packaged industry playbooks into installable bundles. The research paper expert carries seven skills covering literature review, lab notes, data visualisation, citation management and manuscript polishing; the product manager expert carries five for planning, data handling, front-end design, brainstorming and meeting notes. Picking an expert means loading a documented workflow rather than starting from an empty conversation.
Delivery is broad. Deep Research breaks a topic into a retrieval plan and drafts the result, Slides and Documents produce editable files, Posters and Images handle visuals, Websites returns a live page, and Skywork Design and Skywork Video exist as separate products. Tasks can be routed through IM channels or scheduled to run on their own. iOS and Android clients let you hand work over from a phone and pick it up back in the workspace.
Key Features
- SkyClaw, a standing assistant: The resident entry point on the right of the workspace. One sentence starts it planning, calling skills and producing files, with output landing in the same project instead of being carried between pages.
- Industry expert bundles: Skill sets organised by profession across research, product, teaching, design, sales, marketing, writing, data collection, video post-production and finance. Each lists its skill count and cumulative uses.
- Deep Research to a draft: A vague question becomes a retrieval plan, and multi-round searching produces a sourced long-form piece that can be converted into slides or a spreadsheet next.
- Eight deliverable types: Websites, Slides, Documents, Posters, Images, Sheets, Videos and scheduled tasks sit on one capability bar, so a single request can ask for several formats at once.
- IM delivery and scheduling: Tasks can be issued and received through connected IM channels, or scheduled to fire on a recurring basis for daily and weekly briefings and reports.
- Knowledge base and model choice: Each project keeps its own knowledge base for uploaded material, and the model layer switches between Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini depending on the task.
Use Cases
- Researchers using the paper expert to run a literature review through retrieval, notes, charts and citations in one pass.
- Product managers dropping requirement documents and competitor screenshots into a project for a spec and meeting notes.
- Teachers generating courseware, quizzes and learning analysis, then rerunning it for the next class on the same topic.
- Sales teams building a lead list, account insights and follow-up scripts, then exporting to a spreadsheet.
- Weekly operating reports set as scheduled tasks that land as files in the morning.
- Producing external material that starts as a research draft and ends as a formatted deck inside one workspace.
Pros
- Expert bundles encode industry playbooks, so newcomers are not starting from a blank conversation.
- Deliverables span documents, sheets, slides, posters, pages and video without leaving the tool.
- SkyClaw lives inside the workspace, so tasks and output accumulate in one place.
- IM delivery and scheduling let repetitive work genuinely run on its own.
- iOS and Android clients mean work can be handed over away from the desk.
- The free tier offers 800 credits a day, enough to walk several flows end to end.
Pricing
The free tier provides 800 credits daily for Deep Research, thinking and editing, with Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini available as models. Paid tiers follow a subscription plus credits model listed on the pricing page at skywork.ai/sku, with allowances scaling by tier; credits are consumed per generation and image or video work costs more. Teams and enterprises have seat-based options and can request a trial. Daily credits refresh rather than accumulating.
Summary
Skywork takes the workspace-suite route. Rather than asking users to start from a sentence every time, it packages a profession's full playbook into an expert bundle that arrives with a documented flow. That saves time in repetitive roles, and research, teaching, sales and marketing all have matching bundles. Eight output types combined with IM delivery and scheduling let it cover retrieval to finished file in one place, and the mobile clients close the loop on handing work over while away from a desk.
