# Numa — AI automation for your desktop

Source: https://numa.animiste.com/

Numa is a desktop AI agent that controls your computer, uses your apps, learns workflows, and completes multi-step work for you.

## What Numa is

Numa is not a chat window you paste questions into. It is a native application for macOS, Windows and Linux that, with your permission, sees your screen while it works, moves your mouse and keyboard, opens local apps, reads folders you point it at, and completes multi-step tasks end to end.

It works by looking and doing — the same way a person does — so it is not limited to apps that publish an API or appear in an integration catalog. Custom internal tools, unusual desktop software and legacy dashboards are all in scope.

## How it differs

- **vs ChatGPT and other chat assistants** — they answer in a window and leave the clicking to you; Numa performs the actions on your machine.
- **vs Zapier and n8n** — those need a clean API or prebuilt integration for every step; Numa can drive the screen, mouse, keyboard, files and desktop apps when no API exists.
- **vs browser-only agents** — Numa is built around native desktop work, not just web pages.

## Safety

- Numa requires user-granted desktop permissions before it can act.
- Screen capture happens during active tasks and recordings, not continuously.
- You remain responsible for reviewing sensitive actions: purchases, messages, file deletion and account changes.
