Short version: Construct gives your AI coworkers a real computer instead of a chat window.
Every agent gets its own browser-based cloud desktop - browser, terminal, files, email, calendar, and memory that persists across sessions. You hand it work, close your laptop, and it keeps going, because it runs on the cloud, not on your machine. Open the screen from any device to watch it work, take the controls back, or nudge it in a different direction.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Ankush, co-founder of Construct.
My last dev tool hit 30k users and got acquired. Writing the code was never the hard part.
Being the CRM, the support inbox, the follow-up guy and the fundraiser at the same time was.
Hiring was the obvious fix, but the runway math said no.
So when AI agents got good, I tried all of them. Every one reasoned for a minute to do a ten second task, burned tokens like they were free, and I spent more time fixing its work than doing my own. I had enough, so Nischal and I built the version we actually wanted.
Construct isn't a tool you open. He's a coworker who never clocks out.
→ He already has the tools your business runs on, and if he needs a new one he installs it like an app.
→ Once a job runs right he locks it in. Next time it's one command, no re-thinking, no token burning, and your team can trigger it too.
→ He remembers you, your business and everyone he talks to. It all lives in a secure enclave that only you and him have the keys to.
Brief him like a remote hire on Slack, close your laptop and he still keeps going.
For our PH supporters we are offering:
7 days free on Pro plan, then 40% off for the first year, or 20% off monthly if you want him to intern for the quarter.
The fastest way to see what Construct can do is to just try it.
Drop the thing that eats up your week in the comments and we’ll tell you how we’d automate it with Construct.

ps. much love to @fmerian for hunting us and to the PH team as well 🩵
@fmerian @ankushkun Great Launch Ankush!
Curious, What's a task Construct has already "locked in" for your own workflow?
Construct Computer
@ankushkun @yashekbote We use Construct for a bunch of things across the business, but the CRM workflow is probably the most used day-to-day. It’s a fully locked-in workflow for us, so the agent isn’t figuring anything out or reasoning through a thinking loop every time, it just runs. It sources and qualifies new leads and investors, builds out the pipeline directly inside the CRM, and every morning it emails us a summary of what got done yesterday and what’s on deck today. we dont need to prompt it or check in , it just happens while we’re asleep and we wake up to the update.

Congrats on the launch! Curious how you think about something like Grok Bot, do you see it as a competitor to Construct, or are you solving a different layer of the agent stack?
Construct Computer
@mathsociety Hey Kevin, thats a great question! Grok bot is definitely a competitor since both of us are trying to solve problems in the similar space. However! we have made the entire experience of using Construct as easy and smooth as possible, by giving teams a fully managed end to end workspace with agents.
Many tools (like grokbot, openclaw etc) target tech native orgs as their ICP, and many times need technical know how to get various things setup, which is not the case for Construct where everything can be used by even non tech native people.
On Construct, every MCP, every tool, etc is an App, installable like how one would install something from Appstore or Playstore, making the experience much easier.
Users even get a cloud desktop OS, which they can log into anytime, anywhere from any device they want and work with their agents as well as coworkers (Multiplayer experience) in the same workspace, which is not a feature provided by many other agentic solutions.
Moreover, we have interesting features like workflows which reduce workload from agents, but converting successful runs into a workflow, runnable by the whole team + the agents, so it doesnot spend ai cost on repeating tasks.
and agents can even create workspace native apps, if certain tools dont already exist through internal apps shared with the members of the workspace.
With all these (and more) we offer a lot more unique features than many top agentic solutions.
Would love to nerd it out more if you want, feel free to join our communities, where many have interesting discussions like this.
Cheers!

@mathsociety @ankushkun One thing I'd add to what Ankush mentioned: Construct also has a strong collaboration layer around the agents themselves.
Teams can collaborate in the same workspace, invite teammates to existing agents, or let each person create their own private agents. Agents can also coordinate with other agents, so it becomes more of a multiplayer environment for both humans and bots.
Another interesting piece is that installed Apps aren't just integrations. They can also act as building blocks for creating dashboards and internal tools that can be shared across the organization. So the workspace can gradually build its own internal tooling around the agents and the team's workflows.

@ankushkun @nischal_naik Thanks for the responses. I think you all are in a good space. Been playing with Grok bot and think they nailed the easy of user experience (other than the confusing cursor signup process) over some of the others (openclaw, etc). Anyway, congratulations on the launch!!
Locking a job in once it runs right is the part I'd have led with. Re-planning a solved task on every run is where credits actually disappear, and most agent products quietly bill you twice for the same thinking. What I'd want to know is what happens when the locked path breaks because an API changed under it. Does he notice and re-plan, or run the stale steps and report success?
Construct Computer
@asadmalik901 Hey Asad, valid question. When a workflow fails, the respective agent gets a failure notification, and it lets the workspace owner or the responsible user about it, they may then appropriately tell the agent to fix it.

Really cool! How will you compete with likes of Grok Bot and YC's QM?
Construct Computer
@conduit_design Thanks! Solutions like grokbot and QM definitely look like competitors on a first glance, but actually we have very different product boundaries.
Grok bot would be closest to us with their agents and QM is more like open-source agent infrastructure teams can deploy and customize on their own if they have the technical knowhow.
Construct is more opinionated and offers a fully managed solution including agents, humans, apps/MCPs, workflows, cloud desktops, internal tools, and a whole lot more which all live in one workspace, designed to be usable by non-technical teams too, without having to spend engineering efforts.
There is overlap, but all three are validating the same bigger shift away from chatbots toward agents that actually work.
fun fact about Construct btw- we started building this early during feb-march, when no other competitor had announced anything about their product, so we were actually early, and these competitors only validated our market 💪 FULL STEAM AHEAD!

@ankushkun The winds are definitly shifting towards collaborative bots yes. Here is an industry secret to keep tabs on what team bot collab looks like in grok bots: https://www.producthunt.com/products/grok?comment=5781610 so you can keep tabs on the competitors :D
Construct Computer
@conduit_design interesting, thanks for sharing!
Construct Computer
@ankushkun @conduit_design We’ve actually already built this into Construct. Workspaces are multiplayer, so you can invite teammates and give them access to Construct, or even share access to a spawned agent with someone else in the organization.
The idea is that the AI workforce shouldn’t just belong to one person. Your team should be able to collaborate with the same agents, tools, and workflows together.
Definitely going to keep an eye on how this evolves across the space though. Appreciate the Insight 💪

Hey PH 👋 Nischal here, the other half of Construct.
We've been heads down on this since April, so really excited to finally have it out in the open.
I helped build the harness and the Product design. Before Construct I was working on decentralised hosting and compute solutions ,deep in isolates and WASM, which is where most of how Construct runs under the hood comes from.
In these months we've watched plenty of much bigger teams ship at the same problem, and honestly it's only made us more confident that our take on it is the right one. Being small means we get to make the weird calls.
Really excited to hear what you all think, and happy to answer anything today. Infra, cost, product, the parts still rough.

Congrats on the launch! Giving AI agents dedicated workspace environments instead of clogging local systems is a smart approach to hands-off execution. Curious to see how it handles long-running, multi-step browser tasks over time.
Construct Computer
@thisiskp_ Thanks KP! We built our own harness from first principles to run as natively as possible on cloudflare, and extensively use alarms+DOs+workers to support long running + recurring agentic tasks, as well as incorporate kitesurf + browser use for agentic browsing and web use as per requirement of the task.
btw a while back, we were even working on a desktop companion, which the cloud agent could handover tasks to and would even have the possibility of using desktop apps for things cloud agents may not be efficient enough, tho we are still experimenting with the UX side of things, the possibilities are endless.
WOuld love to hear your views on this 🙌
It feels great to see a computer working for me directly...😀
Construct Computer
@mindyorzi awesome lol, glad you like it! 🙌
Construct Computer
@mindyorzi Glad you liked it! The experience with traditional agents can feel like a black box. You prompt them and wait for something to happen while they cook something up behind the scenes.
With Construct, we wanted the experience to feel more like having a remote hire with their own laptop, where you can actually see what they’re doing and step in when needed.
