I’ve been using Simular for the past few months to run high-fidelity simulations for our autonomous drone project, and it’s quickly become one of the most valuable tools in our workflow. The realism of the physics engine, combined with the flexibility of environment customization, allows us to test edge cases that would be dangerous or impractical in real life.
One of Simular’s strongest points is its ability to integrate with ROS and other common robotics frameworks. It made the transition from prototype to simulated testing incredibly smooth. The cloud-based scalability is a game-changer too—we can run hundreds of scenarios in parallel, which speeds up development and debugging significantly.
The UI is fairly intuitive for experienced users, but there’s a bit of a learning curve if you're new to simulation platforms. Documentation is decent, though I’d love to see more real-world example projects or video tutorials added.
My only minor gripe is the occasional glitch when switching between environments or loading complex assets—nothing show-stopping, but something I hope they continue to optimize in future updates.
Overall, Simular feels like a mature, thoughtfully designed product that fills a real need in robotics and AI development. If you're serious about testing in virtual environments before field deployment, it's absolutely worth a look.

Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm Ang and I build Sai at Simular.
Sai is the world's first robosecretary that comes together with a fleet of autonomous computers doing your endless screen work. We believe the future of work isn't just one computer — it's many computer.
Each computer navigates software the way you do: reads the screen, clicks the button, types in the form. That's the whole point. Because Sai works at the interface layer, it automates things that have no API and never will — legacy desktop apps, internal portals, anything behind a login. Windows, macOS, and Linux. 73% on OSWorld.
What that buys you in practice:
🖥️ Real computers, not a chat box. You hand over a task, it runs it on an actual desktop. Open the workspace any time to watch, or take the mouse back mid-run.
🔁 It learns the route once. Any finished task can be saved as a skill, scheduled, or triggered by an event — so the tenth run is faster and cheaper than the first.
🔒 Autonomy with a seatbelt. Tiered approvals, "trust for this task," and encrypted input for passwords and codes — the model never sees plaintext.
The agent we actually optimize for is whether it's still useful and affordable the tenth time you ask.
Tell us the screen work that eats your week — we'll tell you honestly whether Sai can take it off your hands.

I'm Chenchen, engineering lead for Sai at Simular. My job is making sure it keeps working after the demo ends.
Most AI agents you've seen run on one machine, in one happy path, in a video. Sai runs on a fleet of real cloud computers. Hand it five tasks and five machines wake up, open the apps, read the screens, click, type, and check their own results. That's the product. It's also the hard part.
What we actually spent the last six months on:
Reliability at fleet scale. Machines sleep, restart, update. An agent that only works when everything is healthy isn't useful. Sai has to wake machines on demand, recover mid-task, and never let two agents grab the same computer.
Seeing the screen efficiently. Sai uses Smart Snapshot: it reads what's on screen with far fewer tokens than raw screenshots, without losing accuracy. That's where most of the cost savings come from.
Making it cheap enough to give away. A screen-driving agent is expensive by default. We got the cost down far enough to ship a free plan.
The number I care about: on OSWorld 2.0, Sai scores 73%, ahead of Claude Opus 5 (70.6%) and GPT-5.6 Sol (62.6%), at $15.70 per task vs their $23.70 and $26.62. Public benchmark, and the cost is what made the free tier possible.
Sai has been in production with real users for six months before GA. Ask me anything about running agents at scale. I'll be here all day.
I'm Li Hau, engineer at Simular.
I spent years building apps that assumed a human would be sitting there doing the clicking. Then I watched how people actually work: twelve tabs, three apps, copying a value from one into another, all day. The interface was never the product — the tasks were.
So we built Sai, a robosecretary, and give Sai a fleet of autonomous computers. Each computer runs command, navigates app, check its own work. What you can do on a computer, can be done by Sai's computer.
The hardest and coolest part wasn't one agent. It was many. Running a fleet of autonomous computers in parallel — keeping them coordinated, recoverable, and honest about what they actually did — is where most of our engineering went.
I'll be in the comments all day — especially happy to talk about the failure cases.

My work rarely stays in one tab. I go from email to a native app to a spreadsheet just to finish one request. If Sai is able to work across the desktop, then it will be very useful to me.
Simular
@lavana_cricko Hi Lavana, that's exactly the workflow Sai is built for. It operates at the OS level instead of through app-specific APIs, so it can move from your inbox to a native app to a spreadsheet in the same session, the same way you would.
Do you have any becnchmarks for accuracy on common tasks like booking or form filling?
Simular
@mikkellarsen Hey Mikkel, great question. Sai achieved a 73% success rate on the OSWorld 2.0 benchmark, outperforming models like GPT-5.6 Sol and Claude Opus 5. Common tasks like booking and form filling, multi-step flows across apps, are exactly what that covers. Try Sai and let us know how it goes!

When an automation makes a mistake, the first thing I want is a clear record of what happened. A run history is a useful part of the product, not an extra for admins.
@alexia_li yes, i've been using it daily personally, to view all the task result at a glance is a lifesaver

Hey @Simular team, how does it handle logins that need 2fa or otp, does it just get stuck there?
@abod_rehman for now, we do not have access to your authenticator or your phone for 2FA, but we are working on bringing SAI to your phone as well. 😊
