Adaptive — The Agent Computer
The computer for AI to get things done.
Our Take
Taimur Haider, Lien Chueh, Ignacio Borrell, Sai Tharun Kakirala, Steven Safreno, David Aaron Suddjian, Mike Soylu, and Charles Wehan looked at every AI assistant out there and said "these are all just chatbots." They built Adaptive instead—an AI that doesn't just chat with you, it actually works on your computer. It connects your tools, automates your workflows, and gets shit done while you go do something else. That's the difference between an AI that talks and an AI that works.
Adaptive is the computer for AI to get things done. It creates, it executes, it integrates across your entire stack. You give it a task, it figures out how to do it across your apps, your files, your workflows. Eight people built this thing—which tells me they wanted every discipline represented from day one. No solo founder drama, just a team that said "we're building the agent that actually works."
This is the future everyone keeps talking about but few have delivered: an AI that lives on your machine, knows your tools, and does the work. Most AI assistants are expensive typewriters. Adaptive is the first one that feels like having a digital employee. They're based wherever they operate and they're looking for early customers who want their computer to actually work for them.
