Asteroid lets ops teams and engineers build computer-use agents for browser, Linux, and Windows workflows in minutes. Our meta-agent, Astro, builds the agents, writes scripts as it goes, and makes repeat runs faster and cheaper. Last month, Asteroid agents completed 150,000+ executions across EHRs, benefits portals, insurance carriers, Citrix, desktop apps, and VPN-protected environments.
👋🏻 Hi Product Hunt! I'm David, co-founder of Asteroid.
We spent the last year perfecting the experience of building computer use agents.
RPA, Playwright, and browser automation are as old as bad software itself. The problem got bigger with AI agents: they're useless if they can't connect to systems that lack APIs. But every computer use agent framework until now has overpromised and underdelivered.
Thankfully, 2026 LLMs like Claude Opus 4.6+ make this hard problem actually solvable.
We went deep on complex customer use cases and took a clear stance: it's better to automate 50 complex browser portals extremely reliably than 1,000 at surface level. We focus on repeatable workflows, not one-off tasks.
A year of iterations, major updates, and small shipped features later, we have a full-stack platform that combines everything you need to build, run, and optimize computer use agents.
Just last month, Asteroid agents completed 150,000+ executions across 1000s of EHRs, benefits portals, insurance carriers, Citrix, desktop apps, VPN-protected environments, including:
We're the only platform supporting:
🌐 Any environment: browser, Linux, and Windows desktop
🖱️ Any interaction mode: visual computer use, structured DOM, or scripted execution
🧠 Any frontier LLM: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and more
🤖 Meta-agent: builds and debugs your agents for you
💾 Persistent filesystem: each agent stores scripts, files, and memories for reuse across runs
🔐 Session persistence: agents stay signed in and pick up where they left off
📬 Email inboxes: every agent gets its own inbox for 2FA and notifications
📄 Insurance Policy Management: creating, filling, updating, and endorsing policy forms across carrier and agency portals
💬 Insurance Quoting: submitting quote requests, configuring coverage, and extracting results from carrier portals
🔁 Insurance Renewals & Endorsements: initiating renewals, applying mid-term changes, and tracking endorsement status
🧾 Insurance Claims Submission: end-to-end claim entry via Citrix VDI and status tracking across portals
🗓️ Intelligent Scraping: schedule extraction across 10,000+ venue calendars
📝 Form Filling: government portals, banking dashboards, and internal finance tools
If you've used Cursor, Lovable, or Claude Code and felt that magical moment, you'll feel it again when you see Asteroid automating portals you'd already given up on.

Do you have a way to estimate cost per completed execution so teams can compare vs human ops time?
This is epic congrats on the launch! What's been some of the most surprising use cases that have popped up? I imagine things can get a little wild in the world of agents. Would love to hear what your guys' journey has been!
The 'Meta-agent' for debugging is the feature I’ve been waiting for. Debugging browser agents is usually a massive time sink, so having an agent that can troubleshoot its own execution is brilliant. I'm really interested in the HIPAA compliance—how much of the 'Live View' and recording data is redacted or processed locally to maintain that standard?
Love it!
We've been using Asteroid for last-mile automation at Lodo and it's the only thing that's reliably handled the messy switching portals we couldn't crack ourselves. Astro genuinely feels like the magical moment you described. Chapeu!
does it retry autonomously, pause and alert the operator, or does it depend on how the agent was originally configured?
Healthcare interoperability is exactly where computer-use agents shine - EHRs don't expose decent APIs. How does Astro handle sessions that need MFA or CAPTCHA mid-flow? That's typically where automation gets flaky.
Excited for this! Curious, how would Asteroid work for businesses using legacy systems that are gated (ie Iconote for Rehab Clinics)? Is there any vertical or situation where it can’t be used?
Really stoked to try this out. I’ve been selling agents to mid-market/enterprise businesses and the biggest bottleneck has been gated legacy apps.
I've used several Agents, specifically browser agents, over the past year and found Asteroid to be the best one. It was actually able to visit sites that require cookies and managed some of the harder to do things I wanted. Excited to see that the team is now going for computer use agents!
Great to see how the product has grown since inception, congrats on the launch!
(and the new landing is slick ✨)
I've been looking forward so much for this launch, and to be able to share what we've been working and show what our computer use agents are really capable of!
The launch of Astro v2 is a game changer, which has enabled the intelligence to be injected into the repeatable workflows much earlier - resulting in faster, cheaper and more accurate executions. This is the natural evolution of the human layer interaction with agents at scale.
Can't wait to continue the work with such a great team!
I'm so proud of the work we've achieved as such a small team. I joined right after the last Product Hunt launch, and looking back I can't believe just how much the platform has changed. The way it looks, and what it offers. The things our agentic workflows are able to do for customers are truly game changing. So many people now rely on automations running on Asteroid, and they won't even know it! Unless they stop and think: "Wait, I got that GP referral so quickly this time around". Let's go! ❤️🔥
To give you some stats from our small engineering team, over the last 12 months
we've shipped 3,093 pull requests
we've closed 1,351 Linear issues
we've scaled our infrastructure to support over 100x the volume
It's been a long journey, but I'm incredibly proud of what we've built and I'd love you to check it out!

Who hunted Asteroid?
Asteroid was hunted by Garry Tan. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community. See the full all-time top hunters leaderboard to discover who is shaping the Product Hunt ecosystem.
