Lapu AI is a desktop AI agent for macOS and Windows that carries out computer work instead of only describing it. Users type a request in plain language, and the agent works with local files, the terminal and desktop apps to finish multi-step tasks. The company, LAPU.AI prosta spółka akcyjna, was founded in 2026 in Kraków, Poland.
The product is aimed at people who are not technical, though developers can use it too. Its stated niche sits between chatbots, which explain how to do a task, and developer-oriented agents that expect a terminal and API keys. Lapu AI includes the AI models, so no API keys or provider setup are needed.
Lapu AI follows four steps. The user describes what they need, the assistant breaks the request into steps and shows its plan, the user approves sensitive actions, and the agent works through the steps, handling errors and adapting when something unexpected comes up.
For apps, the agent uses the automation layer that macOS and Windows already expose, the same one screen readers use. It presses a named control such as a Save button rather than a screen coordinate, so it does not take over the cursor and keeps working when a window moves. Visible keyboard and mouse input is used where that fits better.
Cross-app workflows let one prompt pull data from one application and push it into another. File tools organize, rename and search large sets of files by type, date or content, and the agent can run terminal commands and install dependencies. A floating mini chat accepts prompts from any app.
Conversations can be saved as workflows, packaged as reusable skills and scheduled to run on repeat. The interface includes Agent Chat, Mini Chat, Workflows, an Editor, a Scheduler, a Calendar and Settings. A full audit trail records tool calls, file operations and model calls with timestamps, parameters and outcomes.

Yes. The Free plan gives access to core agent capabilities with no credit card required. Users can upgrade to Premium, Pro or Max when they need more usage.
The company states that files and workspace data stay on your machine and that there is no Lapu AI cloud storage for documents. Only the relevant context for a task is sent to the model endpoint. Sensitive actions need your approval and every action is logged.
Lapu AI does not use native connectors. It operates apps through the interface on your computer, and the site lists Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Salesforce, HubSpot, Notion, Jira, GitHub, Figma, Zoom, Stripe, Asana, Airtable and Linear. Slack is also shown as an example. The company says these are not official API partnerships.
On macOS, Lapu AI needs macOS 12 or later, Apple Silicon and 4 GB of RAM. On Windows, it needs Windows 10 or later, 64-bit, with 4 GB of RAM.
No. It is designed for non-technical users as well as developers, and tasks are described in plain language. The company notes that some complex workflows may need iteration.
According to the company, chat assistants give answers and Operator works inside a browser tab. Lapu AI runs on the desktop with direct access to files, terminal and apps, and performs the task with your approval.
