Sorin Desktop vs. Sorin Web App

Sorin is available as a desktop app and a web app. Both share the same conversational AI copilot, cross-market research, portfolio awareness, and intent-based execution. The difference is in the agent infrastructure: the desktop app hosts Sorin's full runtime - persistent bots, local skills, and continuous data ingestion - while the web app focuses on always-available conversational research, planning, and execution.

Most users start with whichever fits their context. Power users typically end up on desktop.

Choosing Your Surface

Use the Web App when

• You want fast access from any browser, on any device

• Your workflow is research, planning, and on-demand execution

• You don't need persistent bots or always-on data ingestion

Use the Desktop App when

• You want to run Trading Bots that operate continuously

• You want to install custom Skills or import your own

• You're configuring Data Feeds and Reactions for automated workflows

• You want autonomous agent mode running while you're away

• You're building on top of Sorin via the Sorin Skill

Use Both

Many users do. Desktop runs the agent infrastructure — bots, feeds, autonomous workflows — while the web app gives them quick access to research and execution from anywhere. Both surfaces share the same account, persona, and portfolio.
