We shipped the first agent-native computer. Then Perplexity announced the same vision.
Saw Aravind's post yesterday about Perplexity's new computer.
Got me thinking: we launched Happycapy - the 1st agent-native computer here on Feb 11 (beta was Jan 27). Grateful @rajiv_ayyangar and the PH community witnessed it from the start.
Not trying to claim we're better. Just wild how we both arrived at the same conclusion independently.
The insight:
Agents need their own computer (independent environment)
Running 24/7.
Not locked to a single model.
Back when Claude Code skill dropped, we started building in this direction. Before OpenClaw. Before Moltbook.
The question was simple: what if you didn't need to open tools? What if you just talked to your computer and it figured out what to do?
What Aravind got right
His article is spot on:
"As AI replaces more of the function of the computer itself, the central activity of the computer will be massively multimodel orchestration."
Every 17 days a new frontier model drops. Each one is specialized. The computer's job is conducting them like a symphony.
This is the future. Not better apps. A smarter computer.
What we learned shipping first
One user canceled 23 SaaS subscriptions after a week with Happycapy.
Another automated her social media so aggressively she got banned. Then studied the rate limits and optimized. Now she's running multiple campaigns 24/7.
The pattern: people don't want to manage tools. They want to describe what they want and have it happen.
We're still early. Both us and Perplexity. The whole industry is figuring this out.
But it's validating to see we're going in the same direction.
For builders
What gets you most excited about agent-native computing?
What use cases do you think will blow up first? What are you building in this space?
Love to hear your thoughts. 😊

🦫 HappyCapy is the world’s first agent-native computer. No setup. No local config. Just open your browser and go. Feel free to try it free.
If you’ve tried Happycapy or believe in what we’re building, we’d truly appreciate your support. 👇

@lyss_luo This is what makes PH special!
Builders supporting builders. 😊
Appreciate every single one of you. 🙌
This is definitely the future, so you all are on the right path. Quick question...if everything lives in the cloud, does that mean I can't automate tasks locally on my computer? For example, "I want you to organize all of the PDFs in this folder. First, group them by subject matter and then place them in their newly created respective folders."
Everyone Definitely converging on the same thing. I have been building F3L1X.tech since early Jan and everything you say resonates with exactly what is happening in the space.
My main concern is actually everyone pulling the same data from the web and this evolution is not exactly an evolution but something that might be more sinister....
That "canceled 23 SaaS subscriptions" stat is crazy, congrats!!
What were the most common ones people ditched? Curious if content/social tools are high on that list.

Fascinating parallel! The agent-native computing vision is about making computers "just work" — similar to what I'm exploring on the mobile side with Tomosu. My app asks: what if your phone started completely quiet by default, and you consciously unlocked only the apps you need? Both approaches share the same core insight: intentional use > always-on access. Congrats on shipping first!
