What it does

Magentic-UI by Microsoft Research is an open-source human-centered web agent. Collaboratively plan & execute web tasks with AI, featuring co-planning, action guards & plan learning. Built on AutoGen.

Magentic-UI, new from Microsoft Research, is an open-source research prototype of a human-centered AI agent, designed to work with people to complete complex, web-based tasks in real time over a web browser.

Modern productivity is rooted in the web—from searching for information and filling in forms to navigating dashboards. Yet, many of these tasks remain manual and repetitive. Today, we are introducing Magentic-UI, a new open-source research prototype of a human-centered agent that is meant to help researchers study open questions on human-in-the-loop approaches and oversight mechanisms for AI agents. This prototype collaborates with users on web-based tasks and operates in real time over a web browser. Unlike other computer use agents that aim for full autonomy, Magentic-UI offers a transparent and controllable experience for tasks that are action-oriented and require activities beyond just…from microsoft.com

  • Tapflow 2.0▲1,125

    We built Tapflow for devs, designers, PMs, and tech folks who’ve been sitting on internal docs, templates, and systems — but never productized them. Upload a PDF, notes, or workshop deck, and Tapflow drafts a structured product (with chapters, teaser and pricing plans). It’s good for AI kits, onboarding guides, design systems, and frameworks. You can sell through Stripe, LemonSqueezy, or PayPal. Real-time collaboration is in early beta. No site builder, no LMS — clean design and just focused tools to ship. Fully bootstrapped and just launched on PH today →…
