Desktop AI co-pilot automating user workflows
Overview
Attention Engineering develops a desktop-native AI assistant that observes on-screen activity to learn a user's workflow and proactively automate tasks across apps. It runs in the background as a personal co-pilot, building a live model of behavior to suggest and eventually execute next steps with less prompting. Unlike reactive, command-only tools, it focuses on contextual, proactive automation tailored to individual workflows and aims for enterprise pilots and scalable productivity. The goal is to amplify human productivity by turning everyday work into autonomous task execution within supported applications.
