Just wrapped up 100+ hours building my own AI agent, and here are my key takeaways:
1.Keep it super simple. Complexity kills momentum—start small, refine as you go.
2.Desktop integration is magical. Tying your AI directly into a desktop environment can give you a real competitive edge.
3.Permissions are the biggest challenge. Getting your AI agent to automate Mac apps involves a lot of permission and security hurdles.

Overall, it’s been an incredible deep dive—there’s huge potential here for anyone willing to work through the details of AI + desktop automation!
