Asteroid - Build Browser, Linux and Windows AI agents in seconds

byโ€ข
Asteroid lets ops teams and engineers build computer-use agents for browser, Linux, and Windows workflows in minutes. Our meta-agent, Astro, builds the agents, writes scripts as it goes, and makes repeat runs faster and cheaper. Last month, Asteroid agents completed 150,000+ executions across EHRs, benefits portals, insurance carriers, Citrix, desktop apps, and VPN-protected environments.

๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿป Hi Product Hunt! I'm David, co-founder of Asteroid.


We spent the last year perfecting the experience of building computer use agents.


RPA, Playwright, and browser automation are as old as bad software itself. The problem got bigger with AI agents: they're useless if they can't connect to systems that lack APIs. But every computer use agent framework until now has overpromised and underdelivered.


Thankfully, 2026 LLMs like Claude Opus 4.6+ make this hard problem actually solvable.


We went deep on complex customer use cases and took a clear stance: it's better to automate 50 complex browser portals extremely reliably than 1,000 at surface level. We focus on repeatable workflows, not one-off tasks.


A year of iterations, major updates, and small shipped features later, we have a full-stack platform that combines everything you need to build, run, and optimize computer use agents.

Just last month, Asteroid agents completed 150,000+ executions across 1000s of EHRs, benefits portals, insurance carriers, Citrix, desktop apps, VPN-protected environments, including:

We're the only platform supporting:

  • ๐ŸŒ Any environment: browser, Linux, and Windows desktop

  • ๐Ÿ–ฑ๏ธ Any interaction mode: visual computer use, structured DOM, or scripted execution

  • ๐Ÿง  Any frontier LLM: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and more

  • ๐Ÿค– Meta-agent: builds and debugs your agents for you

  • ๐Ÿ’พ Persistent filesystem: each agent stores scripts, files, and memories for reuse across runs

  • ๐Ÿ” Session persistence: agents stay signed in and pick up where they left off

  • ๐Ÿ“ฌ Email inboxes: every agent gets its own inbox for 2FA and notifications

  • ๐Ÿ•ต๏ธ Proxy support: stealth browsers, residential proxies, custom VPNs, and Tailscale

  • ๐Ÿ‘€ Live view & recordings: watch runs in real time, review sessions, and add human-in-the-loop checkpoints

  • ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Secure & compliant: HIPAA and SOC II Type II certified

  • ๐Ÿงฉ API-first: webhooks, MCPs, and SDKs out of the box

You need all of these together to deploy computer use agents across critical industries at scale. Our use cases inlcude:

  • ๐Ÿฅ EHR / Patient Record Extraction: hospice and post-acute patient ingestion across agency EHRs

  • ๐Ÿฉบ Voice-to-Form Clinical Intake: GP receptionist call transcripts turned into submitted triage forms

  • ๐Ÿ’ณ Health Insurance Enrollment: ACA enrollment, plan handling, CRM sync, and binder payments

  • ๐Ÿ“… Patient Creation & Scheduling: ECW patient creation, referral intake, approval checkpoints, and scheduling

  • ๐Ÿ“„ Insurance Policy Management: creating, filling, updating, and endorsing policy forms across carrier and agency portals

  • ๐Ÿ’ฌ Insurance Quoting: submitting quote requests, configuring coverage, and extracting results from carrier portals

  • ๐Ÿ” Insurance Renewals & Endorsements: initiating renewals, applying mid-term changes, and tracking endorsement status

  • ๐Ÿงพ Insurance Claims Submission: end-to-end claim entry via Citrix VDI and status tracking across portals

  • ๐Ÿ—“๏ธ Intelligent Scraping: schedule extraction across 10,000+ venue calendars

  • ๐Ÿ“ Form Filling: government portals, banking dashboards, and internal finance tools

If you've used Cursor, Lovable, or Claude Code and felt that magical moment, you'll feel it again when you see Asteroid automating portals you'd already given up on.

@pie3ย It's been so much fun working on the Asteroid platform for the last year or so! We've built something epic!

Priya K

@pie3ย love that you included live view and recordings with human checkpoints. for mission-critical workflows like patient scheduling or insurance quoting, you absolutely need that audit trail and the ability to intervene. very thoughtful build.

David Mlcoch

@priya_kushwaha1ย you're 100% right, especially healthcare customers use the live view and HITL functionality a lot to confirm high risk actions like patient updates.

Joe Hewett

To give you some stats from our small engineering team, over the last 12 months

  • we've shipped 3,093 pull requests

  • we've closed 1,351 Linear issues

  • we've scaled our infrastructure to support over 100x the volume

It's been a long journey, but I'm incredibly proud of what we've built and I'd love you to check it out!

David Mlcoch

@joe_hewettย A* team of builders

Miko Kฤ…cki

Great to see how the product has grown since inception, congrats on the launch!

(and the new landing is slick โœจ)

David Mlcoch

@mikolaj_kacki1ย thank you so much, i feel almost embarrassed by the previous versions now..finally you can feel the AGI when you build a coding browser agent:)

Davide Locatelli

I'm so proud of the work we've achieved as such a small team. I joined right after the last Product Hunt launch, and looking back I can't believe just how much the platform has changed. The way it looks, and what it offers. The things our agentic workflows are able to do for customers are truly game changing. So many people now rely on automations running on Asteroid, and they won't even know it! Unless they stop and think: "Wait, I got that GP referral so quickly this time around". Let's go! โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ

David Mlcoch

@davide_lctย it's incredible how much a small team can ship and how many customers it can serve, when motivated and with high agency!

Riccardo Varenna

I've used several Agents, specifically browser agents, over the past year and found Asteroid to be the best one. It was actually able to visit sites that require cookies and managed some of the harder to do things I wanted. Excited to see that the team is now going for computer use agents!

Joe Hewett

@riccardo_varenna1ย Thank you Riccardo! Computer Use agents definitely present different challenges to the browser stuff that we've been iterating on for over a year. Not having the DOM for example makes it a more difficult environment to work in. But we've seen great success so far on Windows and Linux tasks:)

Harsh Veer Singh
does it retry autonomously, pause and alert the operator, or does it depend on how the agent was originally configured?
David Mlcoch

@veerhunt_agaiย you can configure that yourself - using prompts or deterministically. You can tell the agent "when failing, try again" or "when failing, ask user for help". We also have fancy logic around detecting selectors on the page which can trigger human intervention. This is super useful for critical applications!

Edward Upton

I've been looking forward so much for this launch, and to be able to share what we've been working and show what our computer use agents are really capable of!

The launch of Astro v2 is a game changer, which has enabled the intelligence to be injected into the repeatable workflows much earlier - resulting in faster, cheaper and more accurate executions. This is the natural evolution of the human layer interaction with agents at scale.

Can't wait to continue the work with such a great team!

David Mlcoch

@eduptonย looking at our previous PH launch and how the platform looked like compared to v2 makes me feel almost embarrassed :D

Jay Khan

Excited for this! Curious, how would Asteroid work for businesses using legacy systems that are gated (ie Iconote for Rehab Clinics)? Is there any vertical or situation where it canโ€™t be used?

Really stoked to try this out. Iโ€™ve been selling agents to mid-market/enterprise businesses and the biggest bottleneck has been gated legacy apps.

David Mlcoch

@jaykhan3ย We have many customers across healthcare that use our browser agents across legacy systems that are even behind VPNs, so I'm sure Iconote for Rehab Clinics would not be a problem. I'd not say there is a vertical Asteroid can't be used, one thing we don't do yet is on-premise deployment. I'd recommend building an agent and you will see - https://platform.asteroid.ai/

Christian Knaut

Healthcare interoperability is exactly where computer-use agents shine - EHRs don't expose decent APIs. How does Astro handle sessions that need MFA or CAPTCHA mid-flow? That's typically where automation gets flaky.

David Mlcoch

@christian_knautย we have a TOTP generator, email support and captcha solvers! So all of these are solved:)

Finley Braund

Awesome to see all the progress

David Mlcoch
@finley_braund would not be possible without you!
