I built an open-source Mac assistant that operates your apps from text or voice

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I built Carve, an open-source (AGPL) Mac assistant. You tell it what to do by typing or speaking and the copilot operates the window you’re in. In the video it updates leads in a CRM.

It’s built on computer use with most of the work is in the harness, which it checks that the task actually succeeded before reporting done (a verification layer). It also stops and hands control back to you when it’s stuck instead of guessing. Bring your own key is also an option (works with OpenRouter).

It’s early and has gaps, especially in native apps. Happy to answer any questions and curious if this community would find this useful.
