A couple of weeks ago, I remember stressing over the launch with my cofounder because one random fine day I told him, "btw... I scheduled a launch for 23rd next week" and we were not at all prepared for what was about to come <insert hysterical laughter>
We had the month watching other launches and trying to figure out they did different to get a top launch, visiting product hunt every day and studying the launches, who the makers were, what their product did, their positioning, creatives and more.
Hi Ankush, i want to know more about construct computer, can it help run automations that can be done by computer instance via API calls ?
Hi @vardhan_gupta1 yes it can call APIs and make automations out of it. you can know more on our webpage
@ankushkun thanks that's great to know, can it help me run "MS Word COM" automation through api calls, which actually requires a computer RDP agent to access if run locally from a system ?
One of a kind! Congrats on the launch 💯
@manuarora really appreciate your kind words sensei 🫶 , learnt from the best
@manuarora Thank you! It genuinely means a lot to us, as we have learnt a lot from your content and teachings 🫶
Wish you a successful launch! :)
@busmark_w_nika Thank you Nika! appreciate your support a lot ♥️
@ankushkun You're welcome :)
Congrats on the launch, glad to see PostHog users building useful stuff!
@britt_joiner Thank you Britt 🙌 we love using @PostHog!
@fmerian Thanks so much for hunting us, Flo ! 🙏 Really appreciate you putting Construct in front of the PH community.
We’ve been working on this since March, and it’s been exciting (and slightly terrifying 😂) to finally put it out there.
Excited to hear what everyone thinks and hopefully get some honest feedback today! 🚀
LFG!!! Congrats on the launch :)
@yahia_bakour3 thanks for the kind words yahia 🫶.
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?
@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!!
