Lapu AI review
Local desktop automation with approval gates, reusable workflows, and scheduled tasks.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Lapu AI is a native desktop agent for macOS and Windows, aimed at people who want an AI assistant to carry out multi-step work across local files and applications. It combines file read, write, edit, and search tools with shell execution and accessibility-based desktop automation, including screenshots, clicks, typing, and navigation. A mini chat overlay is available across desktop applications. The agent runs on the user's computer, though AI reasoning requires an internet connection. This combination suits desktop users seeking cross-application automation with explicit approval before sensitive actions.
Its workflow controls are central to the product's appeal. Tasks can be packaged as reusable skills and scheduled, while multi-step planning and sequential tool execution let the agent coordinate actions across tools. File writes, shell commands, and desktop input pause for explicit approval, and an audit trail makes agent actions visible. Integrations include Notion, Slack, Google Workspace, and Microsoft 365, but these are interface-driven workflows rather than official API partnerships. That approach is relevant for users automating work through desktop applications, but buyers looking specifically for API-based integrations should consider that distinction.
Pricing starts with Free at $0 per month for core agent capabilities. Premium costs $20 per month and adds more usage, workflow scheduling, priority execution, and email support. Pro is $60 per month, with five times Premium's usage, advanced workflows, faster support, and Premium features. Max costs $100 per month and offers twelve times Premium's usage, highest-priority execution, dedicated support, and Pro features. Teams adds a shared usage pool, unlimited seats, team management, priority support, and centralized billing; Enterprise includes SSO/SAML, custom SLA, dedicated account management, custom deployment, and advanced security controls. Choose Lapu AI for approval-led desktop workflows on a supported system; look elsewhere if you need another platform or offline AI reasoning.
