Saint
About Saint
Saint is a personal AI agent designed to automate multi-step tasks on a user’s laptop. It operates by viewing the screen in real time, executing actions such as clicking, typing, scrolling, and navigating, and maintaining persistent memory across sessions. The agent can handle repetitive busywork like form filling, spreadsheet cleanup, application portals, and research tasks. It integrates with common applications including Chrome, VS Code, Slack, Gmail, Notion, Excel, Figma, Terminal, and Google Docs. Saint searches the live web for up-to-date information and provides reasoning for its actions rather than just delivering answers. Users can issue commands via text or voice, and the agent performs the work step by step while showing its progress for review or adjustment. Permissions are user-controlled, allowing scoping to specific apps or windows, pausing, or stopping tasks at any time.
