Description
Freu AI is an AI agent for Mac that automates any desktop app with natural language. It “sees” your UI to compile a cross‑app workflow once, then runs it locally via a deterministic DSL—no brittle coordinates/selectors and no recurring token bills. Bonus: we’re open‑sourcing freu-cli (our browser automation engine) today.

Could you build this?
Partial Automating macOS UI via AppleScript or standard accessibility APIs is doable, but compiling visual UI interaction into a reliable, coordinate-independent deterministic DSL without recurring model costs requires custom local vision-to-state mapping.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires a native macOS daemon (Swift/Objective-C) interfacing directly with the macOS Accessibility API (AXUIElement) and screen capture frameworks (ScreenCaptureKit). The hard engineering problem is the compilation step: using a vision model once to parse arbitrary visual hierarchies into a semantic accessibility tree, then generating a robust deterministic local DSL script that can replay actions reliably across OS updates and window resizing without re-prompting an LLM.
