Nod does the work around your work, in your apps and on real websites, using a private computer of its own on your Mac or PC. It takes orders only from you, asks before anything you didn't ask for, and runs on the AI provider you choose. Free, Apache 2.0.
👋 Heyy Product Hunt, I'm Johan from n8n Labs and I am super excited to share Nod!!
Nod started from the pain of AI chats being great at telling you how to do a thing... but not actually doing them.

Nod runs a private virtual machine with its own browser on your Mac or Windows PC. It connects to Gmail, Slack, Notion, Drive and Calendar (200+ connections!), and finishes the job, on websites with no API too. And of course you can take over its browser whenever you want.
We spent most of our time on trust. Nod only takes orders from you. Emails and web pages it reads can't tell it what to do, and a separate check compares each action with your own words before it runs.
In our simulated test world it finished 98% of 678 runs across 226 errands, and never sent, paid, booked, posted or deleted anything that hadn't been approved.
When we onboarded our first testers, they all came for a one-off job and left wanting a daily one: a morning brief, prep for tomorrow's calls. So schedules and watches are in from day one.
It's free and open source. You bring your own AI provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter or your ChatGPT plan), and Nod shows what each task cost.
It's a research preview, so a few things aren't there yet. It doesn't run while your computer is asleep, and it can't call businesses on the phone. Both are on our list.
🤔 What's the first job you'd hand it?
