Tilo
The Microsoft of the AI era: the operating system for AI agents.
Tilo gives AI agents one shared computer. Today every agent gets its own virtual machine and works by screenshots and clicks, which is slow, expensive and brittle. Agents that work together have to describe what they did to each other in messages. Tilo is a Linux-based operating system built for agents as users. Every app exports typed actions that agents call over MCP while people use the same actions as buttons, on the same live state. Many agents work in one workspace at once and read each other's work instead of messaging about it. Every change is attributed and can be undone, and irreversible actions need permission. Because state and interface are separate, agents can generate an app's entire UI on demand. On the same multi-app task with the same model, agents on Tilo were about 29× cheaper and 90× faster than computer use, which failed. A small model on Tilo did it for about 1/10,000 of the frontier model's cost. In our scale test, 50 agents worked in one shared workspace on a single laptop, at about 60 MB of memory per agent. Tilo runs headless, in our cloud, or as a desktop, and you can open any workspace from the browser.
