Open source container for AI desktop agents

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built a container that lets developers create AI agents to automate tasks on their desktops. It provides APIs to control mouse, keyboard, and screen capture, so agents can interact with any software. Our product is meant for engineers, product teams, and designers who want to build reliable desktop automation agents without starting from scratch.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in Boston and remote locations. After YC we plan to stay based in Boston with a remote-friendly team.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Boston is where both of us live and have our networks. It's a good engineering hub and allows us to stay close to our early users and resources while embracing remote work.
