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?

AI Buddy▲4This is a weekend project I created due to my frustration with the classic terminal applications that have the issue that if I restart my Mac, then my Claude Code instances or my shell instances—are stopped, and I have to manually run them again. Plus, they are not quite optimized for running multiple Claude Code instances, so I created this project to address this issue.

Companion is a free, open-source web app, featuring a Python REPL environment with an AI Tutor designed to support one’s learning and problem-solving in programming. I am leveraging the Hermes 3 405B model from Nous Research, hosted on Lambda’s Inference API. It's community-driven, 100% free, and open to all. I’d love your feedback and suggestions. Here's a short video where I demo the tool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Plt_sh_cIg&ab_channel=Rahul
