What Cyberdesk does

Cyberdesk is the first self learning computer use agent for developers to automate desktop workflows. For example, one of our customers is building an AI agent for hospital patient intake, and they’re using us to automate an entire team of people manually clicking and typing into a desktop app to book appointments. We launched mid July, and our agent is already operating in production environments, creating appointments in electronic health record apps and processing files in legacy ERPs. We’ve built the first computer use agent that memorizes tasks and repeats them quickly while still adapting to unexpected changes on the screen. A good analogy is to how humans use computers: once we get used to an app, we use it much faster, while still adapting to random popups and crashes. This new paradigm for computer use will be needed by every company automating human workflows on computers. Mahmoud previously built robotic process automation solutions impacting 20K+ employees at a Fortune 100 company. He also built AI & ML solutions at Baylor College of Medicine Neuroscience & Texas Children's Hospital + co-published a paper at the Rice Networks Group. Alan is ex-NASA and previously dropped out to be the first founding engineer at a PearX startup. He is a second time founder, having previously built and scaled a consumer AI app to thousands of paying users. Computer-use agents will automate the $6T dollars spent on enterprise knowledge work and Cyberdesk will be the platform to power this. We’d love to talk with you!

Self learning computer use agent for developers

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

We've built a self learning computer use agent that automates desktop workflows for developers. It memorizes repetitive tasks, like clicks and typing, and repeats them quickly while adapting to unexpected screen changes. Our first users automate manual desktop processes in complex apps like electronic health records and legacy ERPs.

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

We live and work in San Francisco, and the company will be based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We're in San Francisco because Alan and Mahmoud are both based here and this is where our early customers and engineering network are. It's the best place for recruiting and staying close to potential enterprise users.

Is this the real Cyberdesk YC application?

No. Y Combinator keeps submitted applications private. This is a reconstruction: the real YC form questions, answered from Cyberdesk's public data (launch notes, founder backgrounds, product description). It shows how a company like Cyberdesk would present itself to YC, not the text they submitted.
