23 apps before lunch and I still didn't finish my main task
Hey PH community, I counted yesterday. 23 different apps before noon. Slack, Notion, ChatGPT, Figma, Google Sheets, email, Trello... and about 15 Chrome tabs I never closed from yesterday. By lunch I was exhausted and my actual work was still sitting there unfinished. The thing is, we all do this. We've normalized digital whack-a-mole. We have AI that can generate images and write code in seconds. But somehow we're still the ones doing all the clicking and switching. The AI just sits in a chat window waiting for us to feed it context. That felt backwards. So we built HappyCapy—basically a computer where the AI can actually DO stuff, not just tell you what to do. Generate images, edit docs, crunch numbers, build sites. Whatever. You just describe what you need and it handles the tool-hopping. We're not replacing your main computer. But for a lot of tasks, it's way faster to just delegate to an agent that gets it done. It's live now. Still rough in places. But if you're tired of being an unpaid assistant to your own AI assistant, it might click. Curious: how many apps are you juggling right now? What's driving you most crazy about it?

Wait, so an AI that does pretty much everything? Very curious how it works cos this sounds amazing
Does it combine models/integrations from other tools or does everything happen within your own product's capabilities?
Happycapy
@ladefalobi Yep! It's basically Claude Code with full access to a sandboxed computer (filesystem, terminal, browser, etc). So it can pull in whatever tools or APIs it needs—generate images, run code, fetch data, edit files. Not limited to one model or one capability. You just describe the task and it handles the rest. The whole point is to stop being the middleman between the AI and the tools it needs. Let it actually click the buttons for you.
I feel this! Sometimes AI efficiency feels like an illusion because the baseline for productivity has simply shifted up for everyone. Plus, the mental load of learning new tools and updates daily is a job in itself!
It reminds me of the Red Queen's race in Through the Looking-Glass: It takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. An that's exactly how I feel every thay with the FOMO, that I didn't notice or try some new tool or missed the update.
We are running faster with AI just to maintain the status quo. 23 apps sounds exhausting — curious if consolidation is the answer or if we just need better delegation?"
