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…

Companion▲20AI that actually controls your Windows/Mac desktop - clicks, types, automates workflows across any application. Native OS integration, not cloud APIs. Built this because I was tired of AI that could only chat. Free tier (Gemini) + paid tier (Claude) for reliable automation. The AI can automate complex workflows, manage files/emails, control browsers and native apps. Just launched 2 weeks ago. What workflows would you want automated?

Hey Hacker News, my name is Vlad: https://twitter.com/Fortune_VY We’ve been working on IDEs AI assistants for a few years https://www.machinet.net/. Yeah, years :) before chatGPT came along. We have learned a lot about AI models, and how the autoregressive nature coupled with the inability to switch an abstraction level throws a wrench in the works of a possible truly autonomous AI assistant, even OpenAI has featured us on their blog. The more we tinkered with the assistant problem for IDEs, the more we realized the gap between our dream assistant and chatGPT is…
