Lapu AI
Lapu AI is a free desktop AI agent for macOS and Windows that automates computer work directly on the user's machine. Instead of taking over the mouse and keyboard, it works through the controls the operating system exposes, giving it direct access to files, terminal, and screen while leaving the user in control. The agent can operate across common business tools such as Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Salesforce, HubSpot, Notion, Jira, GitHub, Figma, Zoom, Stripe, Asana, Airtable, and Linear. Users describe a goal in plain language, and Lapu AI breaks it into steps, selects the appropriate tools, and executes them in sequence with permission-based oversight. It includes an agent chat, a floating mini chat that stays on top of other apps, a workflows editor, a scheduler, and settings for controlling execution. The product emphasizes local-first privacy: files never leave the computer, and it can be uninstalled in one click. Lapu AI is positioned as an execution layer for knowledge work, moving from AI chat to AI execution. It is free to start with no credit card required, and offers enterprise options for teams. The desktop app is designed for users who want to delegate repetitive multi-step tasks—such as moving data between apps, organizing files, and running terminal commands—without leaving their current application.
