Description
Hello HN! My name is Vidit, I am 14 years old and Titan is my first start-up.Titan is your personal team of AI agents. Give it a command via voice or desktop app and it will execute tasks: research, emails, plans, your apps, and your goals. The whole idea behind the product is to save you time and money and help you pursue what you really want to do.First 100 users get $5 worth of free credits. Free plan is there as well but, being a bootstrapper myself, it is quite constrained. Sorry for that!Works only on Mac at the moment. Short video demo here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrAUXxzMWm4

Could you build this?
No Autonomous desktop computer-use agents that reliably control GUI applications across an OS, handle screen perception, and execute complex workflows require bleeding-edge agentic frameworks and complex native OS accessibility/automation integration.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires a native desktop client (macOS Accessibility APIs, CGWindowList, Quartz display services) sending multi-modal screen frames to state-of-the-art vision-language models (e.g., Anthropic Computer Use API) in a fast loop. The difficult part is building reliable grounding, dealing with dynamic UI changes, low-latency screen capture/action execution, and managing state across desktop apps without hallucinating clicks. This demands advanced systems programming and frontier AI agent engineering.
