Work with a whole team of bots

Give each bot a job, a brain, and a computer. They run in parallel on your own machine, and come back when something needs you.

Pick a brain per bot

Claude and Codex side by side, defaults marked. Switch a bot's model mid-conversation.

Every bot gets a computer

In the free app: a cloud desktop from a provider you connect, spun up on its own with a live screen preview. Or point the bot at this Mac.

Connected apps

Gmail, Slack, GitHub, Notion, Linear and hundreds more over Composio. OAuth once, every bot can use them.

The connected apps marketplace

Manage bots like chats

Pin, mark unread, duplicate, hide, delete. It's a messaging app, and your agents behave like contacts.

Keys once, everything lights up

Paste credentials once and the provider fleet hot-reloads. Secrets are write-only, so the UI never sees them.

Bots that talk back

Hit call and it's a conversation. It hears you, narrates its work, and asks for approvals out loud.

Real jobs, on a schedule, while you do something else

There is no fixed menu. If you can explain the job to a new hire, you can hand it to a bot. These are the ones people start with.

Inbox sweep

Weekdays at 7:00 AM

Sorts the overnight inbox, archives the noise, drafts the routine replies, and leaves what needs you at the top.

  • Gmail

Invoice chaser

Weekdays at 9:00 AM

Pulls the overdue list and drafts a polite reminder for each one. You approve, it sends, and it follows up next week.

  • Stripe
  • Gmail

Release QA

On every deploy

Walks the new build like a customer would, on its own computer, and reports what broke with screenshots attached.

  • GitHub

PR review

On every pull request

Reads the diff twice, flags the real problems, and leaves the nitpicks out. The review lands before anyone asks for it.

  • GitHub

Competitor watch

Mondays at 7:00 AM

Checks pricing pages, changelogs and job posts for the four you actually care about, and writes a one-page brief.

  • Google Sheets

Weekly numbers

Mondays at 6:00 AM

Revenue, refunds and ad spend pulled into the same one-page shape every week, ready before standup.

  • Stripe
  • Google Sheets

Support triage

Every 30 minutes

Answers the questions you have answered a hundred times, and turns the technical ones into tickets with a clear owner.

  • Gmail
  • Linear

Personal bookings

Whenever you ask

Dinner, the dentist, the car service. It finds a slot in its own browser and confirms the details with you before booking.

How it works

Your agents, your machine

Bots run on the claude, codex, and grok CLIs already installed on your computer, using your logins and your subscriptions, with no proxy in the middle.

One local harness

A single server on 127.0.0.1 owns every agent process and normalizes each provider's native protocol into one event stream.

Nothing leaves unless you send it

Transcripts, keys, and events live in ~/.maus on your own disk. Local-first is the default, not a setting.

Install a whole team from one file

Every team is one ordinary Markdown playbook: the bots, their Chief of Staff, the rooms, and the routines, which arrive paused. Connections stay off until you approve them, and nothing carries a credential.

  • HubSpot

We find a sharp position, produce the launch assets, distribute them, and make a stop-or-scale call on the numbers rather than the mood.
