    We are building Construct Computer a cloud OS where autonomous AI agents ("Constructs") live and do your day to day work. You can observe them in real-time through a desktop OS frontend. The idea is agent-native infrastructure: instead of agents being API calls, they're persistent processes with their own compute, storage, and network identity. With integrations with a vast ecosystem of business tools, the Construct Agent can do anything from scheduling meetings, preparing documents, to deep researching the web, join meetings, and automate long running business operations with minimal human…

    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…

    I’ve spent the last two months building AgenticSeek, a privacy-focused alternative to cloud-based AI tools like ManusAI. It runs entirely on your machine—no API calls, no data leaks. Why AgenticSeek? Optimized for local LLMs (developed mostly on an RTX 3060 running deepseek r1 14b). Truly private: All components (TTS, STT, planner) run locally. More responsive than alternatives (we respond fast to issues + active Discord). Designed to be fun—think JARVIS-like voice control, multi-agent workflows, and a slick web UI. Current Features: Web browsing (research + form filling), code…

    The First AI Agent That Lives and Works on Your Desktop

    Hi HN! Erik here from Pig.dev, and today I'd like to share a new project we've just open sourced: Muscle Mem is an SDK that records your agent's tool-calling patterns as it solves tasks, and will deterministically replay those learned trajectories whenever the task is encountered again, falling back to agent mode if edge cases are detected. Like a JIT compiler, for behaviors. At Pig, we built computer-use agents for automating legacy Windows applications (healthcare, lending, manufacturing, etc). A recurring theme we ran into was that businesses already had RPA (pure-software scripts), and…

    Hey HN! My name is Christian, and I’m the co-founder of https://frigade.ai. We’ve built an AI agent that automatically learns how to use any web-based product, and in turn guides users directly in the UI, automatically generates documentation, and even takes actions on a user’s behalf. Think of it as Clippy from the old MS Office. But on steroids. And actually helpful. You can see the agent and tool-calling SDK in action here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPe0t3A1Vpg How is this different from other AI customer support products? Most AI "copilots" are really just…
