Simple Setup
MATE Desktop is the bridge to connect Claude and ChatGPT with your design tool.
1.
Install and activate a MATE plugin in each app you want to use (e.g. InDesign)
3.
Ask Claude (or ChatGPT) to work on your InDesign document, e.g. setup paragraph styles or perform a print check.
Features
MATE Desktop combines the power of AI agents with your MATE plugins, so Claude and ChatGPT can work directly inside your creative apps.
Run your saved scripts from MATE
Claude/ChatGPT triggers the scripts already in your MATE plugins, and stores new ones it writes for you.
Sees what it did with snapshots
Takes snapshots and checks its own work, so it is never operating blind.
Access to Prompt Library
Access to your saved prompts inside MATE. Claude/ChatGPT can read them, call them, store them.
Pick your agent
Each MATE plugin can still be used. But there are clear benefits of using Claude and ChatGPT directly.
Choose your AI Agent
Use Claude, ChatGPT, Antigravity, and others. You can even use them in parallel.
Use your existing plan
Works with the Claude/ChatGPT plan you already have. No custom API key needed.
Latest models
As soon as a new model is available in Claude or ChatGPT, you can use it for your work.

Does MATE Desktop see my files?
No. Your files go straight to Claude or Codex, the tools you already use. MATE is only a local connector on your machine. Nothing of yours passes through a MATE server.
What if Claude makes a mistake in my document?
It works in your open app, so you see every change as it happens and can undo it. Claude also takes snapshots to check its own work. Nothing gets saved or exported unless you say so. But, please, you should always have a backup of your documents.
Do I need an API key?
No. It works with the Claude or ChatGPT subscription you already pay for. A custom API key is optional if you would rather use one.
Which apps does it work with?
Every host app you have a MATE plugin for: InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects and Figma.
Does it only work with Claude?
No. Anything that speaks MCP works, including Codex, Antigravity, Cursor and others.
Do I need to know how to code or script?
No. You describe what you want in plain language. Claude writes and runs the script for you, and you can save it to reuse later.
What does the $49 cover?
The MATE Desktop app, one time payment. You will still need an active MATE license for each host app you want to control.
What if it is not for me?
There is no free trial yet, but you get a 7-day money-back guarantee. Buy it, try it on real work, and if it is not for you, ask for a refund within 7 days.
Will it keep working with new versions of Claude and the Adobe apps?
Yes. It uses the latest models as they ship, and we keep the plugins current with the host apps.
