AI Runner turns requests into real actions across desktop, browser, mobile, and connected devices.
Use one AI operator layer to organize files, automate workflows, fill forms, test apps, run programs, manage email and calendars, compare products, create reports, place calls, chat on Telegram or WhatsApp, and control IoT devices.
Built for practical execution: browser automation, terminal tasks, multimodal AI, mobile camera and voice input, call center and conferencing flows, sandbox and virtual machines, RAG memory, third-party app integrations, and support for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Ollama, Hugging Face, and llama.cpp.

How it works
- Connect a machine or open a sandbox
- Launch a task from dashboard, API, or AI assistant
- Watch execution and collect the result
Browser tasks
Open a site, click, type, capture a screenshot, or run repeatable browser automation on a connected machine.
Terminal and file tasks
Run commands, inspect output, move files, and validate changes on a real machine or in a safer sandbox first.
AI and batch jobs
Launch compute workflows, repo jobs, or repeated tasks across one node or many machines from the same control layer.
Why it is different
- Your own machines plus remote nodes
- Live control and visibility
- Parallel execution from one place
Proof of workflow
Typical flow: install one agent → confirm the node is online → run a safe command → scale the same task across more machines.
API transport
Direct API access via /api. Supports v2 and v3.

Positioning summary
- AI Runner: strongest for operational automation plus autonomous, agentic long-running tasks across desktop, browser, files, messaging, calls, devices, security and investigation workflows like IoC integration, private orchestration, parallel and distributed workflow management, and app or script building.
- Claude Desktop: strongest as a Claude-first desktop assistant with extensions, local workflows, and some agentic computer use.
- Manus AI: strongest for delegated autonomous execution and deliverables like reports, slides, and app or website-style outputs.
- OpenClaw: strongest as an open-source, self-hosted gateway and automation layer with channel integrations and remote execution.
- OpenHands: strongest as an open-source software engineering agent platform for autonomous coding tasks, with CLI, web UI, self-hosting, sandboxed execution, browser plus bash tools, GitHub-oriented workflows, and an agent SDK.
Unique or standout features
- AI Runner: private and internal orchestration layers like AI Gateway and AICRON, cross-channel operations including messaging, calls, IoT, and distributed workflow management.
- Claude Desktop: strongest native Claude-centered desktop assistant experience with Anthropic’s ecosystem and extensions.
- Manus AI: strongest packaged autonomous deliverable flow, especially for slides, reports, and polished end outputs.
- OpenClaw: strongest open-source gateway pattern for connecting channels, automation, and remote execution.
- OpenHands: standout strengths are its software-agent SDK, ephemeral or local workspaces, CLI plus web UI plus cloud/self-hosted deployment mix, and GitHub workflow support for software engineering tasks.
Notes
- For AI Gateway and AICRON, the status is marked Yes (private/internal) because they exist but are not publicly documented.
- IoC integration is included for AI Runner based on confirmed product information.
- Parallel workflow execution and distributed workflow management are included for AI Runner based on confirmed product information.
- GitHub integration is included for AI Runner based on confirmed product information.
- Unknown does not mean a feature is absent. It means there is not enough reliable public information to mark it confidently.
- Partial means the feature exists in some plans, modes, or adjacent tooling, but is not a simple core feature in every setup.
