Meet Clyde, the monkey AI assistant that actually gets real work done. Create and edit files, plan tasks, and connect to tools like Figma, Notion, Spotify and more. Smol but mighty, Clyde feels like Clippy 2.0.

Hey Product Hunt, Tomasz here 👋🐒
Everyone wants to make their cowork UI a group of agents working tirelessly or their fav strategy rpg. But I feel like cowork doesn’t need gamification or more visual noise. My take is the opposite philosophy. I think it’s way better suited to become a Clippy 2.0.
Smol = it takes up way less screen real estate than most tools out there.
A few things people notice right away: 1. Recipes Instead of abstract prompts, Clyde ships with “recipes” — concrete, interesting use cases you can run or remix to help you in your everyday life. This makes it way easier to go from “what can I do?” to “oh, that’s useful.” 2. Claude Code, personified Clyde is basically Claude Code… but as a monkey personification that feels warm, fun, and not intimidating. Clyde is the first Claude Code companion. 3. Smol footprint No massive panels, no dashboards. Clyde lives on the edge of your workflow like a buddy that helps you out.
This is the initial MacOS version — I’m actively working on PC and mobile next. The goal is to keep Clyde fast, simple, and genuinely useful, not bloated.
If you’re curious, download it and play around. I’d love to hear:
What features or recipes you want next
What feels confusing or missing
Issues you encounter
Drop questions, feedback, and requests here — I’m reading everything and adding features directly based on this launch 🙏

@tomasz888 Very cool Tomasz. Congrats on the launch. Do you have custom recipes? multi step?
Honestly, I had the opportunity to test Clyde and found my lil monkey assistant very helpful, besides being adorably cute! It explains things clearly, responds quickly, and makes tasks feel way less overwhelming which is what slows me down the most and gives me mental fatigue. Sometimes it needs a little clarification to get exactly what I want, but once it does, it’s spot on.
Hey, Tomasz @tomasz888 How many bananas does Clyde need to do his job? 🐒🍌

The monkey animation is very funny and smooth, and its integration with other software is quite complete. It would be even better if it could connect to some social media platforms.

Love the Clippy 2.0 framing but redesigned into a cute monkey. Curious to see how the recipe library evolves over time!
Hey Tomasz! It's super cool and I'm sure it's gonna help many founder to get their tasks done. Wish you all the best here!
