About Tilo
Summary
Tilo builds a Linux-based operating system designed for humans and AI agents to share the same workspace. Instead of agents taking screenshots and clicking through interfaces, every app on Tilo exports actions directly, letting agents operate through MCP while people continue using the normal UI. This cuts the compute cost of agent-driven computer use and replaces the brittle, slow screenshot-and-click approach common across AI agent frameworks today.
Go-to-market
Tilo targets developers and teams running AI agents, and can be adopted as a local OS, a cloud-hosted environment, or a headless setup, with workspaces accessible and shareable from a browser.
From the Y Combinator listing
A Linux-based, AI-native operating system.
Tilo is a Linux-based operating system built for AI agents to work alongside people. On Tilo, computer use is up to 15x cheaper than on a normal OS. Today agents use computers the way people do. They take screenshots and click through apps, which is slow, expensive, and brittle. In Tilo, every app exports actions, so agents work over MCP while people use the UI. You still see what each agent does in your apps, and anything it changes can be undone. Any number of people and agents can work in one workspace in real time, across apps. Tilo runs as your OS, in our cloud, or headless on your machine, and you can open and share any workspace from the browser.
