This page highlights notable product and platform work that is planned or in active development.
Upcoming items are directional and may change as implementation, security review, and customer feedback shape the final release.
Desktop Local Capabilities
The desktop app can now work with files on your machine — and, on macOS, your apps — through scoped access you control.
Benchmarks
Evaluate document reasoning with mechanically verifiable benchmark tasks over multi-source fact graphs.
Desktop Local Capabilities
The Brightwave desktop app can now work directly with content on your computer — and, on macOS, with the apps installed on it — through tightly scoped access that you authorize and control.
Now available in the desktop app:
- Local folder access — generally available to all users. Authorize specific folders, per project, and grant read, import, or write access. Agents can analyze local files, import them as sources, or save outputs back to your machine — never your whole machine, and revocable at any time.
- Computer use (research preview, macOS) — the desktop app can view and interact with apps on your screen to help complete a task, always with your permission and a one-click stop.
- Permission modes — choose Ask (approve each local action) or Auto (routine actions run automatically, consequential ones still pause for confirmation).
We're continuing to expand and harden these capabilities based on security review and customer feedback.
Benchmarks
Brightwave is developing benchmarks to measure how reliably AI systems reason across messy business documents. These tests cover real research patterns: comparing multiple sources, spotting inconsistencies, tracing evidence, and reaching the right conclusion from complex materials.
This work helps us improve accuracy in workflows like diligence, market research, portfolio monitoring, and financial analysis.
