About LapuAi Expand
Lapu AI is a desktop AI agent designed to automate computer work by combining frontier AI models with local tools and permission-based execution. Unlike browser-based AI assistants, Lapu AI runs natively on macOS and Windows, providing direct access to your filesystem, running applications, and system-level workflows.
This local-first architecture ensures your files remain on your machine, with only relevant context sent to AI model providers for reasoning. The agent breaks down plain-language goals into executable steps, selects appropriate tools, and performs actions with your explicit approval, enabling users to automate repetitive tasks and complex cross-app workflows without constant tab-switching or manual intervention.
