Awesome work. If I understand correctly, your service essentially runs a bunch of web agents to maintain this dataset and keep it up to date and accurate, and we access through your API / MCP?

You can try https://www.vals.ai/vals-smith for this, saw it recently.

It's not a business's job to make their documentation accessible to their potential and current customers? I would ask if you've started a real business but it's clear you haven't. It is 100% on a developer tool sta

Mintlify is really good. If you're a serious developer tool not sure why you wouldn't use it. For example I went into your docs and I don't see AI chat so I can ask quick, natural language questions. No MCP I can install so C

Yup, this is a case where you always want an agent to do that step. So in the prompt you just say “do a focused_action to select the search result with John”, and then the pathfinder agent will cache in it’s memory to delegate that step to

Our agent would have a tool to essentially bring in the human. Not built this yet, but the closest thing we do have is that our agent can declare a task as failed if it determines it can’t proceed (based on your instructions). More on this

So once you run a workflow (prompt) once, then that trajectory is cached. Run the workflow again and it’ll run through that cached trajectory as best as it can, falling back to computer use if needed.

So what I meant is this: When you run our Cyberdesk agent the first time, it runs with the computer use agent. But then once that’s complete, we cache every exact step it took to successfully complete that task (every click, type, scroll) a

Unfortunately these scripting tools just are untenable when dealing with so many desktop flows that all have changing UIs and random popups. You end up having to repair all of them all the time, in fact there's a whole consulting indus

Yup, a few of our clients have a need to verify something in the software, so we support an agentic step where we look at the screen and can verify whether something exists, or whatever a step was completed, etc!

Thanks! And yes, so our pathfinder agents utilize Sonnet 4's precise coordinate generation capabilities. You give it a screenshot, give it a task, and it can output exact coordinates of where to click on an input field, for example. An

There isn't a viable computer use model that can be ran locally yet unfortunately. Am extremely excited for the day that happens though. Essentially the key capability that makes a model a computer use model is precise coordinate gener

Yup! We have signed certificates that explicitly state this, with all LLM providers we use.

It's on our production AKS cluster :) So fully scalable. By the way, we've launched on ProductHunt btw! If you're interested in giving us an upvote (same for anyone else here!) https://www.producthunt.com/post

I hard agree. Seth, Ayo, I think you guys should be honest with yourself and ask whether you want to go toe to toe with Cursor, Windsurf, Microsoft, etc. If not, take the other route. Go deep into the vertical of React Native. Help people w
