Called a startup Pigs He participated in the Wi -Combinist’s winter in 2025, working on AI Agent Tech to control Microsoft Windows Desktop.
But in May, The founder announced He was abandoning tech and attracting his company to a completely different thing: The memory of the musclesA cache system for AI agents that allows them to offload repeat tasks.
The initial phase of the YC company is usually nothing. What is interesting – and what gave rise to a dynamic conversation on Thursday Y Combinator Pod Cast – What a pig was working on the use of computer, one of the large areas that agents need to solve to be really useful in the manpower. Another company.
The use of the browser increased popularity when the Chinese agent tool manus, which relied on it, went viral. The browser essentially scanned the buttons and elements of a website to convert them into more digestion for agents, “text -like” shape, which helps AI understand how to navigate and use the website.
During the Y Combane Podcast released on Thursday, fellow Tom Bloomfield described Pugs as the use of a browser for Windows Desktops. The podcast features Amjad Masad, the founder and CEO of the popular coding startup copy and the CEO.
Masad, Bloomfield, and YC’s fellow David Lab were discussing that instead of minutes, the use of long -term computer for hours, is still stumbling for agents. As the context of the reasoning is increasing, the accuracy of an agent rises while the cost of LLM increases.
Bloomfield advised that “I will advise the founders today is either using a browser or taking Windows automation with pig and trying to apply it to the vertical industry in the enterprise.”

Masad agreed. “The moment the technology works, the two companies are really, really well.”
But alas, the founder of the pig Eric Dentmene has already abandoned the idea. In his post in May, he explained that he first wanted to run a cloud API product (a common way to supply AI tech). But its users didn’t want it. So he tried to sell it as a giant tool. And they didn’t want to.
“The users that actually want in the Legacy App Automation space is to give me money, and receive automation,” he said. Basically, they wanted to hire an adviser to their desired Windows Robiotic process automation to work their work.
But Dintman didn’t want to do projects once. He wanted to build development tools. So he abandoned the pig and started working on the AI catching toll. Dentman refuses to comment more about his decision to dig Windows automation, though Pig.uu website And Gut hub documents Be available.
However, Dintman told us that his new tool was affected by the problem of computer use. It is removing it from another angle. The idea is to allow the agent to offload repeated tasks The memory of the muscles Service so that the agent can focus on the reasoning of new problems and edge issues.
He told the Tech Crunch, “What we are currently working on is directly impressed and the use of computer, only in the developer tooling layer. I hope as a ‘last mail’ for computer use.
This does not mean that no one is working on Windows automation.
Probably the company as well as the company is Microsoft. For example, in April, Microsoft announced It added computer use to the Co -Studio for a graphical user interface such as Windows. The tech was released as a research preview. In addition, earlier this month, Microsoft announced An agent toll in Windows 11 This helps the closing users manage the settings.
