Show HN: Output – An AI Agent That Controls Your Computer (Mac and Windows)
After months of building, we're excited to share Output — the first AI agent that can truly control your computer.
You can speak or type instructions like:
“Fill out this job application using the info in this PDF” “Edit this video in DaVinci Resolve” “Schedule a Zoom call and send the invite”
Output understands your intent and directly clicks, types, and navigates apps across your system — without relying on scripts, plugins, or integrations. It's like giving your computer a brain.
Works on both Mac and Windows
No setup or scripting required
Handles real apps like Chrome, Excel, Notion, Zoom, etc.
Designed for general-purpose use — students, founders, creatives, you name it
We're still early and improving every day, but we'd love your feedback. Live demo + early access: https://theoutput.co/ You can follow us on X: https://x.com/theoutputai
Happy to answer any questions and go deep on how it works!
Agree with the sentiment but trust in software is at an all time low and you have to work against that.
An example success is the developer of Superwhisper. Crazily responsive online, always polite, explains features with blog posts and videos, has a fan base of creators on youtube who fill in gaps in the docs and talk about creative & cool uses for the tool, and where possible the software provides local only ways to get work done.
If going closed source (which is fine) you could completely copy their strategy.
