Hi! Lucas here from Automat, stoked to share what the team's been heads-down on: Ace. It’s Instinct or Muse but for work. The TL;DR: you can now hire an AI coworker. Ace shows up with its own computer, phone number, inbox, and logins, works inside the tools you already use, and hands back finished work- not just status updates. We’ve got a 14-day free trial, which should make it super easy to try out.. so.. try it out! and let us know what you think.

Could you build this?
No Providing an autonomous AI coworker with its own computer, phone, and tool logins requires complex computer-use agent architectures, sandboxed virtual environments, and carrier-level telecom integrations.
What it would actually take: The backend requires provisioning isolated microVMs (e.g., Firecracker or cloud desktops) with remote desktop streaming and browser automation controlled by vision-language computer-use models. Key difficulties include low-latency multimodal GUI grounding, managing long-horizon stateful task recovery, and securely handling authentication credentials across hundreds of external web tools.
