Asteroid is hiring!! We're building for a world where agents outnumber humans at work. 3 roles at Asteroid (YC W25) -- Product, GTM, and Engineering. Our computer-use agents already run 1000s of workflows daily across healthcare, insurance, and finance. We can't keep up with demand. 🧵

We just shipped desktop automation at Asteroid. 🖥️ Our AI agents can now control full Windows and Linux desktops, not just browsers. Here's why this changes everything for healthcare 🧵

When we started Asteroid, I didn’t expect prior authorization to be one of the most meaningful problems we’d work on. For years, automation couldn’t handle the edge cases of complex healthcare flows. Now browser AI agents can. We wrote about how frontier AI agents can automate prior auth end-to-end. Link in the thread! If prior auth is what you do, we can help!

Introducing Radar, real-time collective intelligence for web agents 🧵 In our tests, agents that get a cache hit on Radar avoid the need for a browser entirely, dramatically improving agent performance Built & tested with @convex, @daytonaio and @superset_sh, @browser_use

After 3 frontend rebuilds, we found the obvious: Browser agents need tabs. Supervise 10+ agents without losing context. Inspired by @posthog UI (big fans).

When your platform becomes 10x nicer in one day.

We shipped Astro → Cursor for browser agents in Dec 🚀 @davilocatelli13 just dropped incredible technical deep dive. If you’re building with LLMs or interested in agents, definitely worth a read. 👉 asteroid.ai/blog/astro-cur…

Browser agents used to be for engineers only. Not anymore. Astro from @asteroid_inc is an AI agent builder for the hardest legacy portals, letting anyone automate them in minutes. Proven in healthcare, insurance, and finance. Congrats on the launch, @MlcochDavid & @simulated_land! ycombinator.com/launches/OzN-a…

This is crazy. I pinged a few Asteroid users if they want to try Astro in Beta...the response has been crazy...this is going to be huge... building something people want, thanks @ycombinator @paulg for the tip.

Building browser agents takes too long. (And most other agents aren’t much better.) There’s still no tool that lets non-technical experts build complex, multistep browser agents. Prompts break. Edge cases explode. Teams get frustrated. People don’t want to build agents, they want to manage them like employees. Next week, that finally changes.

You add AI to your product. It works… kind of ... until it needs to do real work. Then the “annoying” customer asks:

We’re #1 on @ProductHunt right now… but we might still lose... This morning we launched Asteroid (YC W25): 🚀 #1 Product of the Day 🧑‍💻 100s of new users 🤖 1000s of browser agents deployed 📰 Featured organically in the PH newsletter But..

When @simulated_land and I finished @ycombinator in March, we didn’t think we’d make Asteroid self-serve - it didn’t make sense… but here we go. Full story in a thread 🚀 Today we’re live on @ProductHunt - now anyone can automate their back office with Browser Agents and go for a pint!

9 months ago I quit my job, joined @ycombinator and founded Asteroid to help humans and agents work together. Our tiny team is (currently) #1 on ProductHunt Here's our story and what we've learned so far 👇

@GWRHelp will my ticket for yesterday (Swansea to Paddington) be accepted if I go via Birmingham. We got stuck in Bristol overnight and thinking of getting to Birmingham New Street to then get into London

@TicketmasterCS I’ve ordered Yung Blud tickets and the money has been taken but I can see my receipt for it on my account

@nationalrailenq Would a Coventry to Euston ticket be accepted from Wellingborough to Kings Cross since I am stuck in Northampton and could get a bus to there

⚠️NEW - Disruption between Milton Keynes Central and Watford Junction expected until 18:00 #Bletchley nationalrail.co.uk/service_disrup…

@tfwrail Would I be allowed to travel to collect belongings from university. gov.wales said it is counted as essential if it can't be postponed which it is in my case.
