Platform

Pre-Seed Prototype — The First 24/7 AI Employee That Actually Uses Your Computer

Private Preview

CHO Platform is currently in private development. We're building this because we believe AI should work like a colleague, not just a chatbot. Pre-seed investment would help accelerate development, but we're focused on building something genuinely useful first.

Working Prototype

This is not a concept or mockup. CHO is a functional prototype that operates your desktop like a human employee—launching applications, reading your messages, writing code, debugging issues, and messaging you when tasks are complete. It runs autonomously on dedicated hardware and works while you sleep.

The Vision

Every company wants to hire talented developers, designers, and operators—but talent is expensive, time zones are limiting, and humans need sleep. CHO changes this equation entirely.

Imagine an employee who works 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. One who never calls in sick, never needs vacation, and costs a fraction of a human salary. One who can operate any software you use—VS Code, Figma, Xcode, browsers, terminals—with the same proficiency as your best team members.

That's what CHO Platform delivers. Not a chatbot that answers questions. Not a copilot that suggests code. A genuine digital employee that sits at a computer, uses your applications, and gets work done.

Your 24/7 Digital Employee

CHO operates exactly like a remote employee with full desktop access. Give it a workstation—your Mac, a dedicated Mac Mini, a Mac Studio, or a cloud VM—and it works around the clock. It completes tasks, reports progress, asks questions when stuck, and texts you when the job is done.

Core Capabilities

  • Runs autonomously on your Mac or a dedicated workstation
  • Works while you sleep—continues tasks overnight, across weekends
  • Texts you via WhatsApp or iMessage when work is completed
  • Reports progress periodically so you're never in the dark
  • Asks clarifying questions when it encounters ambiguity
  • Contributes to your codebase—commits, PRs, code reviews
  • Learns your preferences and improves with every interaction

The Difference

Unlike AI assistants that wait for prompts and provide text responses, CHO takes action. When you say "fix the login bug," it opens VS Code, navigates to the relevant file, reads the code, debugs the issue, implements a fix, runs tests, and commits the change. You wake up to a solved problem, not a suggestion.

Development & Coding

CHO can open your development tools and work on code just like a developer. It reads, writes, debugs, and tests—using the same applications your human engineers use every day.

Applications It Uses

ApplicationWhat CHO Does
VS CodeWrite, edit, refactor code. Navigate projects. Run extensions.
XcodeBuild and debug iOS/macOS apps. Run simulators. Fix crashes.
FigmaOpen designs, inspect specs, understand layouts, export assets.
TerminalRun commands, git operations, build tools, package managers.
BrowserTest web apps, research documentation, access APIs.
Any macOS AppFull desktop control—if a human can use it, CHO can use it.

Design-to-Code Workflow

CHO can open Figma, understand your designs visually, and then implement them in code. It reads design specs, identifies components, understands spacing and typography, and translates that into functional UI code in your framework of choice.

Example Workflow
  1. Opens Figma and navigates to your design file
  2. Analyzes the visual layout, colors, spacing, and components
  3. Opens VS Code and creates component files
  4. Writes React/Swift/HTML code matching the design
  5. Previews in browser or simulator to verify
  6. Iterates until the implementation matches the design
  7. Commits the code and texts you when complete

Note: CHO understands and implements existing designs. It does not currently create original designs—that capability is on the roadmap for future development.

Development Tasks

"Fix the login bug in auth.ts"

→ Opens VS Code, locates the file, reads the code, identifies the bug, implements fix, runs tests, verifies, commits

"Build the settings page from the Figma design"

→ Opens Figma, inspects design specs, opens VS Code, creates components, writes styles, tests in browser

"Debug why the iOS app crashes on launch"

→ Opens Xcode, runs simulator, captures crash log, traces stack, identifies root cause, applies fix, verifies

"Refactor the payment module to use the new API"

→ Opens browser to read API docs, opens VS Code, updates all relevant files, runs tests, fixes failures, commits

Communication & Reporting

CHO uses native messaging apps to keep you informed. Since it controls your desktop, it simply opens WhatsApp, iMessage, Slack, or any messaging app and sends messages just like you would. No special integration needed—if it's installed, CHO can use it.

How It Communicates

  • Task completion: "Finished fixing the login bug. Tests passing. Committed to main."
  • Progress updates: "Working on the settings page. 3 of 5 components done."
  • Blocked status: "Need access to the staging database. Can you send credentials?"
  • Questions: "The Figma design has two versions. Which one should I implement?"

QA, Meetings & Collaboration

CHO isn't limited to solo work. It can participate in your team workflows— joining video calls, running QA tests, giving demos, and collaborating in real-time with screen sharing.

QA & Testing

  • Run through user flows and identify bugs
  • Test across different scenarios and edge cases
  • Document issues with screenshots and steps to reproduce
  • Verify fixes and regression test after changes
  • Write and execute test scripts

Meeting Participation

  • Join Zoom, Google Meet, or Teams calls
  • Share screen to demo features or walk through code
  • Present work completed and explain implementation decisions
  • Participate in design reviews and standups
  • Take notes and action items during meetings

Live Demos

Need to demo a feature to stakeholders? CHO can join the call, share its screen, and walk through the functionality—explaining what it built and how it works. It can answer questions and respond to feedback in real-time.

Deployment Options

CHO runs on your own hardware, giving you complete control over data privacy and security. No cloud dependencies for core operation—your code and data never leave your infrastructure.

Dedicated Mac MiniAlways-on, dedicated 24/7 tasks~$600
Mac StudioHeavy workloads, fast model inference~$2,000
Cloud macOS VMRemote access, team deployment, scale~$50/mo

Enterprise Deployment

For organizations, CHO can be deployed across multiple dedicated workstations. Each instance specializes in different domains—frontend, backend, iOS, infrastructure—working collaboratively like a distributed team.

Untitled Access Layer

The Untitled Access layer is the technological foundation that enables CHO to operate a computer. It provides complete control over the macOS environment through a unified API.

Element DetectionIdentifies buttons, text fields, UI components
Mouse ControlClick, double-click, right-click, drag, scroll, hover
Keyboard InputType text, shortcuts, modifier keys, key combinations

Window ManagementResize, move, minimize, focus, switch windows
File System AccessNavigate, create, move, delete, organize files
ClipboardCopy, paste, access clipboard history

Market Opportunity

The global shortage of software engineers is projected to reach 85.2 million by 2030. Companies spend billions annually on engineering talent, with average senior developer salaries exceeding $150,000 in major markets.

CHO addresses this gap. Not by replacing engineers, but by multiplying their productivity. One engineer with CHO can accomplish what previously required a team. Routine tasks—bug fixes, refactoring, test writing, documentation—can be delegated to CHO while human engineers focus on architecture, innovation, and complex problem-solving.

Competitive Landscape

CategoryExamplesLimitation
Code AssistantsCopilot, CursorSuggestions only, human executes
ChatbotsChatGPT, ClaudeText responses, no action
Agent FrameworksAutoGPT, LangChainLimited to APIs, no GUI
CHO PlatformFull desktop controlUses any application

Fun fact: CHO can also use Copilot, Cursor, ChatGPT, and Claude. Since it controls the desktop, it can open these tools, use their features, and combine them with its own capabilities. It's not competing—it's leveraging everything.
