Mates
New: every mate gets its own inboxRead →

Mates that do the work on their own computer.

Give an AI mate a job. It gets a desktop, a browser, a memory and an email address, works while you're away, and shows you exactly what it did.

Hire it like a person. Check its work like a pro.

A mate isn't a chat box. It has a job, a machine, a memory and a schedule, and everything it does leaves a trail you can replay.

01

Give it a job

Name it, describe the work, pick a face. It keeps its instructions and what it learns about you in every conversation.

02

Watch it work

It clicks, types and runs commands on its own Linux desktop. Watch live, take control, or replay any task step by step.

03

Let it run the routine

Put work on a schedule. It reports back by email, and anything it wants to send waits for your yes.

Replays

Every task leaves a trail you can replay

Each answer comes with its steps, its cost and a video of the screen. Scrub to the click that mattered.

  • Video of the desktop, 5 frames a second
  • Every click marked where it landed
  • Shell commands and files, step by step

Email

It has an inbox. You keep the final say.

Each mate gets an address. Mail from strangers waits for you, and nothing goes out to someone new without your approval.

  • Its own address at agents.usemates.com
  • Sender verification on every message
  • Approve, edit or stop each email

Everything a good mate needs

Routines

Morning briefings, site checks, weekly reports: on a schedule, in your timezone, with an email when it's done.

Skills

Playbooks it follows when a request fits. Write them yourself, or let a mate save how it did something well.

Published apps

It builds a site or dashboard on its computer and gives you a link anyone can open.

Knowledge

Connect a GitHub repo or upload docs. Mates read them, read-only, always in sync.

Memory

What it learns about you lives in a file you can read and edit. No black box.

Talk to it

Hold the mic and speak. Your words are transcribed into the message box so you can check them before sending.

Pay for the work, not the seats

Why every mate gets its own computer

Shared browsers leak logins between agents. One machine per mate keeps work, files and sessions apart.

Replays: recording a desktop at 10 KB a second

How we capture every task a mate does as video and steps on a budget that fits a phone call, and why the steps turned out to matter more than the video.

Your first mate starts in two minutes.
