I built a desktop AI agent because chatbots still leave the real work to me

I use ChatGPT and Claude every day. They’re great at answers. They’re worse at finishing the actual work sitting on my desktop.

I’d get a plan in one tab… then spend another 20 minutes copy-pasting into Excel, Finder, the browser, and whatever legacy app still owns the process. The AI stopped at “here’s what you should do.” I still had to do it.

So I built Lapu AI: a desktop agent for Mac and Windows that runs on your machine and operates real apps and files — with permission prompts before anything sensitive.

**What it does**

- Takes a plain-language task and executes multi-step work locally

- Works across files, desktop apps, browser, and common office workflows

- Asks before risky actions

- Free to start (no credit card)

**What it’s not**

Not another chat window. Not a hosted automation sandbox. It’s meant for the messy work that already lives on your computer.

**Early stage**

We’re live at https://lapu.ai with a free plan. Looking for feedback from people who already use AI tools but still finish jobs by hand.

If you’ve hit the same “AI plans / I execute” gap, I’d love to hear how you’re solving it — and what you’d want a desktop agent to handle first.
