I'm curious - what would you imagine as a better interface? The desktop approach has overhead, but the advantage is it can use ANY software (VS Code, browsers, GUI apps) without needing custom integrations for each tool.
Appreciate the honest feedback! Almost all of the $69 goes to cloud infrastructure costs (the instance runs 24/7 with GPU access). I hear you on wanting a lower entry point.
Two things I'm considering:
- Local version (bring your own hardware) - would eliminate the cloud cost
- Cheaper tier with limited hours
For now, the value prop is "one-click cloud solution" but I'll definitely explore local deployment soon. Thanks for the input!
1) Competitors: There are players approaching this from different angles - some focus on code completion (Copilot), some on chat (ChatGPT), some on specific automation tools. What I wanted was an end-to-end solution: a cloud-based AI employee with its own persistent environment. That's the gap I'm filling.
2) Liability: Valid concern. The AI can make mistakes, and that's a real risk. We're implementing safeguards - you can watch tasks in real-time, pause/stop at any point, and we encourage users to review outputs before deploying to production. It's definitely not "set and forget" for critical work. Still iterating on making this safer.
The product is fully functional - you can sign up and use it right away. We have a waitlist approval step because we need to manage cloud infrastructure capacity responsibly. Once approved (usually within hours), you get full access to spin up instances immediately.

Would love to hear your thoughts on alternatives!
