FAQs

What is AppuBot?

AppuBot is an app for your Mac, free during early access, that gives you AI teammates: bots that run on your own computer and use the AI plan you already pay for. A bot can work in your apps by clicking and typing in them, send you files and chat with you in the app or on Telegram.

Does AppuBot need a subscription or an API key?

No. AppuBot has no account or subscription of its own during early access. Your bots use the Claude, ChatGPT (Codex), Cursor, Grok, GitHub Copilot or OpenCode account you're already signed in to on your computer, and AppuBot never sends your conversations through servers of its own.

Where does AppuBot run?

On your own computer. Your bots, their files and everything they see stay on it. What leaves is what a bot sends to its AI provider, such as Anthropic or OpenAI, just like when you use that AI yourself, and anonymous usage counts (which features get used, never your messages, files or names) that you can switch off in Settings.

How does AppuBot work with Telegram?

Connect a Telegram bot in Settings › Channels and choose which of your bots it is. Messages, photos, voice notes and files you send on Telegram reach that bot on your computer, and its replies, questions and files come back in the same chat. Only the Telegram accounts you approve, with a code shown on your computer, can talk to it.

What is computer use in AppuBot?

Computer use means your bot can use the apps on your computer the way you do: it looks at a window, then clicks, types and scrolls in it, so it can finish work in real apps like Numbers, Safari or your accounting software. It works inside the app's own window and mostly leaves your mouse alone.

Which AI does AppuBot work with?

Claude Code, Codex (ChatGPT), Cursor, Grok, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode, with the account you're already signed in to. You can add more than one account of the same one and choose which bot uses which.

Can I teach AppuBot a task?

Yes. Press "Teach a task" and do it once while AppuBot watches. Your bot turns it into a skill and does it the same way next time. You can read and change its skills, instructions and memory at any time.

Is AppuBot safe to give access to my Mac?

Your bot asks you before it does anything important on your computer, and waits for your answer however long you take. You can watch it work live and stop it at any time, and only the Telegram accounts you approve can message it.

What does AppuBot cost?

Nothing during early access: it is free, with no account and no card. Paid plans come later. You only keep paying for the AI plan you already have, like Claude or ChatGPT.

Does AppuBot run on Windows or Linux?

Yes. AppuBot is made for the Mac first, and there are Windows and Linux versions too. A few Mac-only extras, such as keeping a laptop awake with its lid closed, aren't on them.
