Flowly

The native, always-a-hotkey-away framing is the right mental model — chat windows are the wrong primitive for tasks you do 50 times a day. I built DishRoll (https://dishroll.netlify.app/) on the same principle for weekly meal planning: it has to live in the background, not be another app you remember to open. End-to-end encryption + local action on top of that is the part I'd love more PWAs and consumer AI tools to adopt by default. Question on Flowly: how does the assistant handle multi-step actions that span apps (e.g., "pull these three numbers from the model in Excel and paste them into the IC memo in Word")? Does it ask for confirmation per app, or is there a single pre-flight review?

Hey Hakan,
Great product you have here, congrats on #4 launch.

I was also working on something similar before Regent, but with 1 additional feature : given enough context and inputs, the model could also actually predict what you might need, and when, and ask you before doing it : almost like a real human secretary. I did make some architectures for that which worked to a good extent, so should be possible. Just something to think about :)

Hi PHFirst, thank you. Flowly hit #4 today and the day isn't even over. The sign-ups, DMs, and feedback have been wild.Quick context for anyone landing here: Flowly is a desktop AI assistant that doesn't just chat — it actually clicks buttons in your apps and browser tabs through OS-level controls and a Chrome extension.Native to macOS, Windows, Linux. One global hotkey away from anywhere.Free during launch and staying free for now also paid options available.If you try it and something feels off, reply here or DM me — I'm reading every comment today.— Hakan, founder

Hey Hakan - nice idea & a clear differentiation from others on this market. How do I ensure agents knows me? You know - who I am, what I do, etc. Without it, its output might be off or mediocre.Does Flowly keep learning about me along the way?

Hey Product Hunt — Hakan from Nocetic, the team behind Flowly.

We built Flowly because every "AI assistant" we tried was either a chat tab in the browser or a Slack bot that could describe what to do but couldn't actually do it. We wanted something that lived natively on the desktop, knew what was on screen, and could click the buttons for us.

Flowly is the result. It runs as:
- a full native chat app,
- a menubar dock,
- a notch overlay summoned by a global hotkey, and
- a browser extension that lets the assistant act on the page — fill forms, drive Google Sheets, navigate Maps, draft Gmail replies.

A few things we're proud of:
Native everywhere. Real binaries for macOS, Windows, and Linux. OS-encrypted token storage (Keychain on macOS, DPAPI on Windows). Global Fn-key hotkey via a small native module.

Persistent sessions. Long-running agent task? Walk away, come back — the stream picks up where it left off. iOS-style continuity on the desktop.

Browser agent, not browser link. The extension reads the DOM and Flowly plans → acts → verifies. Not "here's a URL, you do it."

Honest state of things: this is v1.0.18. Voice coach and notch overlay shipped recently. The browser agent works on most sites we've thrown at it but we'd love your edge cases.

Free during launch. Two questions we'd love answered in the comments:
1. What's the one task you'd want an AI to actually do for you on your computer?
2. Which site should the browser agent work on next?

Thanks for taking a look — we'll be in the comments all day.
