What LapuAI can do on your desktop

Work completed on your computer

Browse all use cases

Ask for the result in plain language. LapuAI handles the technical steps across the tools you already use, while your files and the work itself stay on your machine.

  • Organize files

    Find, rename, sort, and update files by what they contain, not only by filename.

    Example: Turn a downloads folder into a useful project archive.

  • Process documents

    Extract information from PDFs, clean spreadsheets, and create or edit everyday office files.

    Example: Move invoice data from PDFs into an existing workbook.

  • Work across apps

    Read what an application shows, fill fields, press buttons, and move information between tools.

    Example: Update a desktop app from an approved spreadsheet.

  • Repeat the workflow

    Save a successful conversation as a reusable workflow and schedule recurring work.

    Example: Prepare the same weekly report without rebuilding the steps.

From request to finished work

LapuAI follows a visible five-step loop. You set the outcome, see the plan, approve sensitive actions, and inspect the completed result.

  1. Ask

    Describe the outcome

    Use plain language. No selectors, scripts, or model configuration.

  2. Plan

    Review the steps

    LapuAI breaks the task into actions and shows what it intends to do.

  3. Approve

    Keep control

    Sensitive changes pause for permission before they reach your files or apps.

  4. Execute

    Let LapuAI do the work

    The agent works through files, documents, websites, and desktop applications.

  5. Verify

    Inspect the result

    Review the completed output and the local record of actions taken.

Why LapuAI works differently

The product is designed for people who want desktop work completed without building an automation system first.

  • Built-in frontier AI

    No model API keys to manage. Reasoning calls go through LapuAI infrastructure to the integrated model endpoint.

  • Local tools

    File reading, editing, search, and the technical steps behind a task run on your hardware.

  • Desktop automation

    Native accessibility APIs on macOS (Swift) and Windows (C#) drive other applications: screenshot, click, type, navigate.

  • Permission gating

    Sensitive actions pause for approval. You see what LapuAI plans before it changes files, data, or applications.

  • Reusable skills

    Package workflows into skills you can rerun and schedule. Operational repeatability without rewriting a prompt each time.

  • Local-first data story

    Files stay on your machine. Relevant context is sent to AI model providers only when the agent needs to reason about a step.

LapuAI is the desktop AI agent described here. Free tier, no credit card, on macOS 14 Sonoma or later and Windows 10 or 11.

How LapuAI controls desktop applications

LapuAI starts with the operating system's automation layer. Windows UI Automation and macOS Accessibility expose applications as named elements: the Save button, the Amount field, or a row in a table. LapuAI can address those elements directly instead of guessing a coordinate from a screenshot.

  • Driver layer first

    Named elements remain identifiable when a window moves, resizes, or changes theme. This is the preferred path for repeatable work in applications that expose an automation surface.

  • Real input when needed

    LapuAI can also use keyboard and mouse input when an application does not expose the right controls. In that mode the agent can occupy the input devices while it runs, and sensitive steps still pause for approval.

By type

By role

Founders, operators, office workers, analysts, and researchers use the same desktop agent. The difference is the workflow: reconcile a spreadsheet, prepare a report, organize source material, or move information between applications.

Where it runsA server you do not control. Containerized agents spin up a remote Linux desktop.Natively on your own macOS or Windows machine.

A desktop AI agent is a native application that combines a frontier AI model with direct access to local tools (files, shell, and desktop automation), so it can execute multi-step work on your machine rather than only answering questions.
