Products & Services
Open-source MIT-licensed messenger-style software for managing Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Google Antigravity and OpenCode agents as named bots with roles, working folders, persistent sessions, approvals, routines and push notifications. The relay forwards encrypted frames while sessions, history, files, credentials and approvals remain on the user's machines.
Cloud industry software for kitchen studios covering orders, documents, invoices, inbox and customer communication in one interface; Flowdesk describes it as its own product and says it was in use at a kitchen studio in 2026.
Custom dashboards that combine accounting, ERP, CRM, spreadsheet and portal data into operational management views, with role-specific metrics and deployment at the client, in the client's cloud or on Flowdesk infrastructure.
Consulting and implementation for model selection, AI agents with MCP access, automation, privacy/GDPR and EU AI Act considerations, and ongoing operation of company-specific AI workflows.
Market Position
Flowdesk positions its services around practical, end-to-end software that it plans, builds and operates for small and mid-sized operating businesses. OpenFolk differentiates from a conventional terminal tab or cloud-only agent product by offering a messenger/team abstraction over multiple coding agents while keeping computation, credentials, conversations and project data on the user's own machines; its closest alternatives are agent-enabled IDEs and hosted coding-agent collaboration tools.

Marco Berlin
Founder and software developer
Flowdesk's public website identifies him as the founder and describes 25 years of software-development experience, including more than 15 years as an entrepreneur. He is also the GitHub maintainer/releaser associated with OpenFolk under @marco-berlin.
Founding Story
Flowdesk was established as a software-development company serving operating businesses rather than enterprises with large IT departments. Its current positioning emphasizes taking solutions from analysis through build and ongoing operation, drawing on the founder's long experience building software used in day-to-day business workflows.
Business Model
Revenue Model
Flowdesk sells software development and implementation services, including custom dashboards, applications, integrations and AI setup/operation. OpenFolk itself is free and MIT-licensed; users bring their own AI subscription or API key, so Flowdesk does not resell or cap model usage.
Pricing Tiers
MIT-licensed, no sign-up; users provide their own Claude, OpenAI or other supported-agent subscription/API credentials.
The company advertises a free one-hour video consultation; project/service pricing is not listed.
