@auroraw Thanks for exploring the showcase! Seeing makers push AI in fresh directions is exactly why we built ComputerX. More community-powered templates are on deck—stay tuned. 🚀
ComputerX
@auroraw Thank you! Happy to hear you liked the showcase section!
How this is different from what Manus ai is providing ??
@omkaar_mahapatroI'm also curious about the same question!
ComputerX
@omkaar_mahapatro Thanks for asking — great question! While Manus AI focuses on general-purpose tasks, ComputerX is built specifically for automation and time-saving workflows. For example, you can build and schedule automations to track product prices or monitor company updates, which is especially useful for tedious or research-heavy use cases.
We're also expanding into deeper computer-level automation to handle tasks that current tools like Zapier or n8n can't easily manage. You can check out a quick demo of this in action here:
— it gives a glimpse into how our computer-use agent operates directly in a virtual computer to autonomously perform complex, multi-step tasks. This is the future of human–agent collaboration we're envisioning.Congratulations 🥳 ComputerX team! 🙌
This sounds like exactly what many of us have been waiting for—an AI agent that actually gets things done without the usual complexity.
Love that you're focusing on transparency and showing the reasoning process rather than keeping it in a black box! 🔍✨
The cross-platform availability is a huge plus, especially with full mobile support for those of us always on the go 📱. The versatility in output formats (HTML, PDF, Excel) really sets it apart from other tools in the space.
I'm particularly curious: How does ComputerX handle complex, multi-step workflows that might require iteration or human input along the way? For example, if I'm researching a market and need to refine my approach based on initial findings? 🤔
Just watched your demo video—really impressive how seamlessly it handles different types of tasks! 🎥 One suggestion: It would be cool to see a feature where users can save and share their favorite workflows or templates with the community. Could create some amazing use cases we haven't even thought of yet! 💡
Thanks for the generous beta credits and the LAUNCH30 code—definitely going to give this a try!
Best of luck with the launch! 🚀
ComputerX
@ajay_kumar_yadav4 Appreciate the shout-out!

I just tried out ComputerX, and I'm impressed. It does the work instead of just giving you suggestions or links, huge time saver. I used it for some quick data research and exporting a summary, and it delivered the results accurately. That builds trust.
Overall, feels like a solid tool for anyone juggling too much work.
Well done and best of luck with the launch! 👏
ComputerX
@abod_rehman Love that it’s already cutting your research cycle times. Execution-first UX is our unfair advantage—more automations inbound. 🙌
Really impressive speed on some of the tasks you showcase on your website!
ComputerX
@paul_hoeppner Appreciate the shout-out! Speed’s our north star.⚡
mysite.ai
Well done on the launch! ⚡️ ComputerX looks like a bold step toward true AI-native computing.
Curious — how customizable is the OS layer for developers building their own workflows or tools on top?
ComputerX
@patpijanowski Thanks so much! We do have a Mac app available, and you can select which folder the agent has access to and can write files to. We've also been exploring adding more MCP integrations to support deeper customization.
Would love to hear what kind of customizations you're thinking about? 😊
I may have rushed my reading is this full desktop automation or purely web?
ComputerX
@masikh Great question! This launched version is web-only. Earlier this year, we built a full desktop automation prototype — here’s a video demo:
. That said, the current computer use foundation model doesn’t yet meet the reliability and performance standards we’d need for a production desktop agent, so we’re actively researching how to improve its performance to make it truly usable.@sherryruan thanks for responding. It certainly feels like a more "difficult" problem to solve. The standardisation of APIs just isn't there. I did a rather large RPA project on a niche legacy windows app recently and I was just wishing there was an AI to sufficiently handle it the whole time. Had to resort to OCR etc at certain points.
ComputerX
@masikh Yup, API standardization is still lacking, and so much of automation today relies on fragile workarounds.
Today, the foundation model for computer use isn't fully matured yet — people are still working through challenges like accuracy, latency, and cost. But we're optimistic. With the rapid progress in VLMs, we believe the automation problem can be fundamentally solved by letting models operate on the front end like a human does — seeing, understanding, and acting directly on the screen. Exciting times ahead!
This looks very useful. I'm sure lots of people would love to save time by having a resource that can help them get more work done in a shorter amount of time.
ComputerX
@matthewkorth Exactly the mission, less grind, more output. Grab code LAUNCH30, test-drive it, and tell us where it shaves the most hours. 🚀
I'm loving how it takes my instructions + turns them into results wo/ the usual AI prompt headache lol :)
Having the ability to create everything let's say web apps to data vis & see exactly how it's reasoning through each step gives me confidence in the outputs (which I still feel I need tbh)
Can't wait for what comes from following this journey + see where you take this next team!
ComputerX
@cranqnow Exactly the vibe: zero prompt gymnastics, full audit trail. Next drop pushes from web apps. Stay tuned! 🚀
ComputerX
@cranqnow Thank you so much — that means a lot! 😊

ComputerX
@zhangxing Thank you!!
Hey Sherry, huge congrats on launching ComputerX! This is an incredibly ambitious and exciting vision for the future of work. The idea of a single, natural language interface to orchestrate complex tasks is the holy grail for productivity.
I was particularly struck by your commitment to transparency—the "No black boxes" approach. This is absolutely critical for building user trust, especially when the agent is performing complex actions. It's a feature many others overlook.
My question for you is about the delicate balance between simplicity ("Just ask") and control. As tasks become more complex, how do you plan to handle ambiguity in a user's natural language request?
For example, if I ask it to "research the best marketing strategies for a SaaS product," how does the agent decide what "best" means, or which sources to trust? Do you envision a more interactive, guided dialogue for these kinds of complex, nuanced requests, where the user can refine the agent's plan before execution?
This is a fascinating challenge to solve. You're tackling a truly foundational problem. Wishing you all the best with the launch!
ComputerX
@felix_foster That's a great question, and it's definitely something we think about every day as we see increasingly complex tasks coming in! The approach we're taking to avoid "black boxes" and promote user trust and control is by making the agent's thinking and actions visible at the UX level. Here are the key features we've implemented:
- enhance prompt feature - users can adjust enhanced prompts to clarify ambiguity upfront before sending requests to the agent
- ask questions - our agent proactively asks clarifying questions when requests aren't clear
- make the plan visible - agent provides a high-level plan so users can course-correct if needed
- making thinking & execution visible - agent verbalizes and shows all actions taken so users know exactly what's happening and can intervene if needed
Regarding your idea of "a more interactive, guided dialogue for complex, nuanced requests where users can refine the agent's plan before execution" - we actually implemented this in earlier prototypes involving computer-use technology (where agents use vision models to control a computer). For these tasks, we needed more precision since there's less room for ambiguity than in non-computer tasks. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like:
Back to your question about "simplicity" and "control." Currently, our agent primarily helps users with research and creating deliverables. Since these tasks aren't too high-stakes yet, we're emphasizing simplicity for a better user experience. However, if we see users requesting more complex or high-stakes tasks, or when we launch features with computer-use capabilities that require more precise planning, we'll consider adding more control features.
Like you said, it's a fascinating challenge to solve. Would love to hear more insights from you if you have any. Thanks!
@joyce_jiayu_he Wow, Joyce, thank you for such a thoughtful and transparent response. This is one of the best replies I've seen on Product Hunt.
Your four-pronged approach to balancing user control with simplicity (enhancing prompts, asking questions, and making the plan/execution visible) makes complete sense.
And thank you especially for sharing that screenshot! It's fascinating to see that you've already prototyped that exact "guided dialogue" for more precise tasks. It confirms that you're thinking several steps ahead about the user experience.
Your product philosophy of deliberately choosing simplicity for current use-cases, while being ready to introduce more control for future high-stakes features, is incredibly mature and insightful.
You've answered my question perfectly. I have no more insights to add right now, just a lot of respect for the way you're building ComputerX. Wishing you and the team all the best!
