Project
The Intelligent Desktop Companion
Development of Glider is going well but currently on hold. Read this writing to learn more.
Overview
What exactly is Glider?
Imagine another set of eyes on your desktop, not watching over you, but working with you. As you move from task to task, Glider quietly follows along, building context and understanding your intent.
Want help with your current task? How about automating it? How about practically reading your mind and autocompleting it? DONE.
Interaction
What is it like to use Glider?
Collaboration: You can prompt Glider to help with any desktop task that crosses your mind.
Autocompletion: Glider can automatically complete desktop tasks you're already working on.
The experience feels familiar: the same workflow people love in coding agents, but across your entire desktop.
Architecture
What powers Glider?
1. Glider uses a proprietary agent architecture that maintains continuous awareness, utilizes specialized small models, and adapts to you.
2. Glider is designed with speed, cost, reliability, and safety in mind — not just passing accuracy benchmarks.
Comparison
A Side-by-Side Comparison
Think you've seen this before? "Computer Use Agents" are AI programs that automate desktop tasks.
Glider is much more than just a computer use agent.
