General AI agent that uses a mouse and keyboard like a person to do real work in a secure local browser, learning workflows by watching demonstrations and feedback.

Autotab is a general AI agent that both learns and works like a human, operating a mouse and keyboard inside a secure browser so that anything a person can do on a computer, it can do too. Built by Planetary Computers and backed by Y Combinator and OpenAI, it positions itself as the first AI agent you onboard rather than integrate. It is already deployed inside Fortune 500 companies and has run years worth of continuous computer use for customers like DoorDash, scaling work that previously required teams of people.

The onboarding experience is the point of difference. Rather than wiring up technical integrations, a user teaches Autotab the way they would a new colleague, by showing it a demonstration in a video, sharing a written standard operating procedure, and giving feedback on its work. Autotab asks clarifying questions while it learns, since real work is rarely correct on the first try, and users can add examples to make it more reliable. Once a workflow is learned, it runs on demand or on a schedule and reaches better than ninety eight percent accuracy across tasks thousands of steps long.

Because Autotab acts through the interface with a mouse and keyboard, it works on any website or internal application without an application programming interface. It navigates complex systems to collect and enrich data, and it enters information into government forms, admin apps, and systems of record like Salesforce, HubSpot, Google Sheets, Jira, and enterprise resource, transportation, and revenue management platforms. It can send messages, trigger payments and refunds, and keep working for days using scaffolding and checkpoints to stay on track, much like a documented procedure.

On security and deployment, Autotab can run in a dedicated local browser with enterprise authentication and single sign on so credentials never leave the device, or scale in the cloud as a fleet of parallel instances that compress weeks of work into hours. Its main gaps against broader platforms are that model choice is tied to its provider and there is no marketplace of prebuilt agents, since every agent is trained on the customer's own work. For teams bottlenecked by hiring and onboarding, it is a capable general computer use worker.

Use cases & customers

In practice

A team drowns in data entry across a legacy vendor portal with no API. They show Autotab the process in a short video, and it then enters thousands of records into the system of record reliably, running unattended overnight.

An operations lead needs years of continuous web research done fast. Autotab spins up a fleet of parallel cloud instances that collect and enrich data from thousands of sites, compressing weeks of manual work into a few hours.

A finance team must trigger refunds and update records across several systems. Autotab, taught the standard operating procedure and given feedback, handles the multi step workflow end to end in a secure local browser where credentials stay on device.

Research notes

General AI agent / computer-use 'AI knowledge worker'. Uses mouse+keyboard like a human in a secure LOCAL browser — 'anything you can do, it can do', works on ANY website/app (no technical integration). Company: Planetary Computers (GitHub org). YC + OpenAI backed. Founder ex-Palantir/Taktile, Harvard. Deployed Fortune 500 + DoorDash ('years of continuous computer use'). 'First AI agent you onboard, not integrate.' LEARNS like a colleague: watch demonstrations (video), read SOPs/docs, take feedback; asks clarifying questions; add examples to make 'hallucination-proof'. 98%+ accuracy, tasks THOUSANDS of steps, works for DAYS (scaffolding + checkpoints). Actions: message customers, trigger payments/refunds, update Salesforce/HubSpot/Google Sheets/Jira/ERP/RMS/TMS/gov-forms, data collection/enrichment, migration. 2 FULLS: ORCH=F (autonomous multi-step thousands-of-steps/days-long workflows + real actions), COMP=F (genuine mouse+keyboard on any site, autonomous browser/computer use — core). 10 P's: Int=P (any app via UI+real actions, not API-connectors), Know=P (learns from demos/SOPs/feedback + context), HITL=P (clarifying questions + feedback + checkpoints), Sec=P (secure LOCAL browser, credentials never leave device, enterprise-auth+SSO; NO named certs surfaced), Obs=P (auditable automations + logs app-state/DOM/model-responses), Mem=P (retains learned workflows + improves from feedback), Dep=P (LOCAL browser on device [local-desktop=P per calibration] + cloud fleet), Trig=P (on-demand + schedule), Ext=P (open-source starter 'autotab-starter' + CLI [autotab record/play] + Python + API key), Eval=P (add-examples + feedback + checkpoints for reliability). 2 N's: Pack=N (trained-per-customer by demo, no prebuilt agent library), Model=N (OpenAI-backed, no multi-provider). Local+cloud deploy (parallel fleet). Pricing: $1/hour active work, no credit-card/sales-call to start, download app; enterprise custom (self_serve). Domain autotab.com. Score 7.0 (2F/10P/2N). Broad autonomous browser agent — high end of browser lane.

Integrations & Tool CallingAutotab acts directly in any web application and system of record like Salesforce, HubSpot, and Jira using a mouse and keyboard with no technical integration, broad reach through the interface short of a documented library of deep application programming interface connectors, so partial. Partial
Workflow OrchestrationAutotab autonomously executes complex workflows thousands of steps long over days, using scaffolding and checkpoints to take real actions like triggering payments and updating systems of record, so full. Full
Knowledge Grounding & RAGAutotab learns from demonstrations, standard operating procedure documents, and feedback and gathers context to act correctly, real grounding and context use short of a documented citation grounded retrieval system, so partial. Partial
Human Oversight & GuardrailsAutotab asks clarifying questions while learning, takes feedback on its work, and uses checkpoints to stay on track, real human guidance and correction short of a documented runtime approval or guardrail enforcement engine, so partial. Partial
Security, Identity & GovernanceAutotab runs in a secure local browser where credentials never leave the device and supports enterprise authentication and single sign on, a solid security posture short of documented named certifications and role based governance, so partial. Partial
Observability & AuditabilityAutotab produces auditable automations and logs application state, page structure, and model responses for its actions, real observability short of a documented full production per action audit dashboard, so partial. Partial
Memory & State PersistenceAutotab retains learned workflows and continuously improves its understanding of user intent from feedback on past work, real learning and state persistence short of a documented shared cross session agent memory store, so partial. Partial
Deployment & Data ResidencyAutotab runs in a dedicated local browser on the customer's own device so credentials stay local, and can also run at scale in the cloud, real local execution consistent with a local desktop deployment, so partial. Partial
Prebuilt Agents, Templates & PacksAutotab agents are trained per customer by demonstration rather than drawn from a prebuilt library, so a browsable marketplace of prebuilt or cloneable agents could not be verified. Unable to verify
Triggers & Channel CoverageAutotab runs tasks on demand or on a defined schedule, real triggering short of broad event driven or omnichannel customer facing coverage, so partial. Partial
Model Flexibility & RoutingAutotab is backed by OpenAI and runs on its models, but user facing multi provider model routing or selection could not be verified. Unable to verify
APIs, SDKs & MCP ExtensibilityAutotab offers an open source starter with a command line interface and Python based automations plus an API key, a real developer surface short of a documented full software development kit or Model Context Protocol server, so partial. Partial
Testing, Debugging & OptimizationAutotab lets users add examples and feedback to make agents more reliable and uses checkpoints to verify progress, real iterative validation short of a documented simulation or automated evaluation framework, so partial. Partial
Browser & Computer UseAutotab drives a browser with a mouse and keyboard exactly like a person, working on any website or web application and navigating complex applications to take actions, so full. Full
