The command center for agentic work

Every engine.
One command center.

OpenAI just shipped a $230 macropad that commands one model. MegaPad commands them all — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek — from an app on your desk, starting at free.

Why MegaPad

Agents finally got a command center.
Ours isn't locked to one lab.

The big labs proved the category: agent keys, status lights, an effort dial, one surface to command it all. They built it for their model, their subscribers, in a limited run. MegaPad is that command center as software — for every model, for everyone, today.

Every engine on one board

ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek — or MegaPad hosted models with zero API setup. Six lanes, live status, one keyboard.

Tasks, not chats

Describe the job — slides, a website plan, a campaign, an email sequence. An agent runs it while you do something else. You review the result and accept or reject it.

Yours, locally

MegaPad runs on your machine. Your API keys stay on your disk. Prefer no keys at all? Run hosted models through your MegaPad account instead.

Engines

Multi-engine is the product.

Point two engines at the same problem. Keep the better answer. That's not possible on a single-model device — it's the default here.

Built for work, not for prompts

You don't write prompts.
You hand over tasks.

Pick a job from the board and an agent takes it end to end. No API consoles, no prompt engineering, no terminal. When it's done you get one decision: accept or reject.

  • Create a slide deck
  • Plan and write a website
  • Design a 2-week marketing campaign
  • Write ad copy & email sequences
  • Analyze a website for conversion leaks
  • Build a brand voice kit

The honest comparison

Codex Micro proved the category.
MegaPad opens it.

Respect where it's due: agent keys, status lights and a reasoning dial are the right idea. Here's the difference.
