Construct Computer

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…

In plain words

Construct Computer is an AI workforce platform designed for solo founders and small teams. It provides an AI employee that can install skills and build custom tools, which are deployed on a personal cloud computer and shared across the team. Users can encode processes once with connected apps and notifications, then schedule the AI to run workflows automatically. The platform also allows teams to create internal apps by describing what they need, with the AI handling development and deployment.

From the sources

AI workforce for solo founders and small teams. Any MCP or skill installs like an app, agents build the tools that don't exist yet, deployed and managed by the platform, shareable to the whole team, and any agent action that you like turns into a reusable workflow so agents spend less time thinking and more time doing.

Construct Computer is an AI agent platform for startups and small teams: agents that handle research, outreach, ops and reporting. From $9/month.

7-day trial on Pro. Then plans from $9 /month . Cancel any time. Encode a process once with agent steps, connected apps, and notifications. Version it, schedule it, and anyone on the team can run it again. Describe the tool your team needs. Construct writes, validates, and publishes a working internal app directly into your cloud desktop. Schedule an agent prompt, connected-app action, or complete workflow. Construct runs it once or repeatedly and keeps the result history. Bring people, your AI agents, files, apps, and shared conversations together, with invitations, roles, and precise access controls. Preferences, decisions, and project context stay with evidence and history. Review,…from construct.computer

    Hey HN, I've been building SimplAI for the past several months — it's a platform for building, testing, and deploying LLM-powered agents and multi-step workflows. The problem I kept running into: spinning up an AI agent pipeline means stitching together prompt management, tool calling, memory, evals, and deployment — often from scratch every time. SimplAI tries to be the layer that handles all of that so you can focus on what your agent actually does. What it does: - Visual + code-first workflow builder for chaining LLM calls, tools, and APIs - Built-in prompt versioning and A/B testing…

  • Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  • Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
