Computer Agents – Agents that work while you sleep

Hey HN, Most AI “agents” I’ve tried are basically chatbots with amnesia — they forget everything the moment you close the tab and can’t do anything unless you’re sitting there watching them. I wanted real AI coworkers that just… work. So I built Computer Agents (aiOS). Every agent you create gets its own isolated computer in the cloud — complete with persistent memory, a real file system, code execution environment (with automatic dependency management), and the ability to run scheduled or webhook-triggered tasks 24/7. You give it a goal (“research this market and email me a report…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hey HN, Most AI “agents” I’ve tried are basically chatbots with amnesia — they forget everything the moment you close the tab and can’t do anything unless you’re sitting there watching them. I wanted real AI coworkers that just… work. So I built Computer Agents (aiOS). Every agent you create gets its own isolated computer in the cloud — complete with persistent memory, a real file system, code execution environment (with automatic dependency management), and the ability to run scheduled or webhook-triggered tasks 24/7. You give it a goal (“research this market and email me a report every Monday”, “generate floor plans from client briefs”, “handle incoming support emails”, “run my weekly data analysis”), walk away, and come back to finished results in your inbox, Telegram, or dashboard. Key highlights: • Persistent workspaces — context and files survive forever (no more “remember what we talked about last week?”) • Native iOS app (iPhone + iPad) + native Mac app + web dashboard • Python + TypeScript SDKs (pip install computer-agents, npm install computer-agents) • Multi-agent orchestration (sequential, parallel, map-reduce, conditional flows) • Built-in skills: deep web research with citations, web search, image generation, full code interpreter • Integrations: Email, Telegram, GitHub, Google Drive, OneDrive, Notion, webhooks, etc. • Runs in secure isolated cloud containers (you own your data) It’s live at https://computer-agents.com Free tier gives you 150 compute tokens (~15–23 decent-sized tasks) so you can try it right now. Pro starts at $19/mo when you want more. This is very much still a young indie project (I’m the solo founder), but it’s already helping real teams automate support, research, content, and coding workflows. Would love your honest feedback — especially: • What persistent/long-running agent pain points have you hit with other tools? • Interesting use cases you’d want to try? • Thoughts on the architecture (sandboxing, persistence model, orchestration) Happy to answer any questions! Thanks, Jan Luca (indie maker behind Computer Agents) P.S. If you’re into computer-use agents, we also have a comparison page: https://computer-agents.com/compare/computer-use-agents

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

  • Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…
