About Lapu AI

Lapu AI is a desktop AI agent that performs multi-step tasks on a user’s computer without taking control of the mouse or keyboard. It operates locally on macOS and Windows, accessing files, terminal, and desktop applications through the native controls exposed by the operating system. The agent accepts plain-language instructions, breaks them into executable steps, and carries them out with optional user approval for sensitive actions. It supports cross-application workflows, allowing data to be pulled from one tool and pushed into another without manual switching. Users can create reusable skills, schedule recurring tasks, and manage workflows through a mini chat interface that remains accessible across applications. The tool emphasizes security with permissioned execution, local data storage, full audit trails, and context isolation to limit the scope of any single action. It is designed for both non-technical users and developers, handling repetitive desktop tasks such as document processing, file management, and research synthesis.
