Scheduled agents fail in four ways: silent skips, tokens burned on nothing, no memory between runs, and needing your laptop awake. Routines answers all four.

I've been building computer-use tools for a while, and I quietly launched this about a month ago (122 Stars on GH). I figured it was worth sharing here. Over the last few months, a lot of computer-use agents have come out: Codex, Claude Code, CUA, and others. Most of them seem to work roughly like this: 1. Take a screenshot 2. Have the model predict pixel coordinates 3. Click x,y 4. Take another screenshot 5. Repeat That works, but it's slow, expensive in tokens, and fragile. If the UI shifts a few pixels, things break. And the model still doesn't know what any element actually is. But the…

Hey HN! I was frustrated with feeling like an assistant to most AI systems and chats that I used. All I wanted was to have a fully controllable AI System that will potentially do everything for me, and that I can easily teach to do new things and get my context without constant copy and pasting.

Giving you the power of AI personalization right on your local machine. Imagine a desktop app that can schedule your meetings, automate responses, craft unique…

We recently started to use agents to update some documentation across our codebase on a weekly basis, and everything quickly turned into cron jobs, logs, and terminal output. it worked, but was hard to tell what agents were doing, why something failed, or whether a workflow was actually progressing. We thought it would be more interesting to treat agents as long-lived workers with state and responsibilities and explicit handoffs. Something you can actually see and reason about, instead of just tailing logs. So we built Clawe, a small coordination layer on top of OpenClaw that lets agent…
