{"id":87902,"title":"Dex – Your AI Coworker for the Browser","tagline":"Turn your browser into a smart interface that works alongside you.","body":"Hey! We’re Kevin and Regina from [Dexterity](https://getdexterity.com/). Today, we’re launching Dex—the fastest interface for co-working with AI, right inside your browser.\n\n**TLDR:** **AI that works _with you,_ not just for you**. 10x your workflows without breaking your flow. Try [**Dex**](https://youtu.be/H6hMAVkGp8M) (Beta) → [**getdexterity.com**](http://getdexterity.com)\n\n### **Why We’re Building This**\n\n**Four weeks before Demo Day, we pivoted to build for ourselves.**\n\nMost AI web agents today are “set-and-forget” chats—you hand them off and check back later. But what about workflows you actually _want_ to drive? Navigating platforms, moving data, making quick decisions—these moments demand instant, context-aware models that work with you, not just for you.\n\nImagine using Operator to order DoorDash—a frustratingly back-and-forth relay with no real-time visibility. That same friction exists for work tools like Jira, GSuite, and GitHub, where users need instant feedback and responsive action, not slow AI handoffs.\n\n**That’s why we’re taking a Cursor (vs. Devin) approach—for the browser.**\n\n### **The Problem**\n\nModern work is a juggling act of 15+ tabs, software bloat, and constant UI friction, just to complete a single task.\n\nThe real bottleneck isn’t just automation—it’s context switching. Traditional solutions force users to memorize shortcuts (appeals to devs, but leaves everyone else behind), while AI tools make you adapt to them instead of living right where you work.\n\n**Why not turn your browser itself into an intelligent personal workspace?**\n\n### **How It Works**\n\nWith simple voice and text, Dex enhances familiar interfaces, automates mundane actions, and understands your intent.\n\n* **Smart Navigation**🔸Find, execute, and move between apps.\n* **Suggest Context**🔸Cut down tab-switching and manual searching.\n* **Cross-App Automation**🔸Shortcut multi-step workflows, zero setup.\n* **Adaptive UI/UX**🔸Reshape, replicate, and browse by your rules.\n\nThink of it like Spotlight Search meets AI automation + personal expert for everyday apps.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=87902\u0026key=user_uploads/1003357/5841f4c8-281d-4bdd-a4b0-053d44c7b41d)\n\n### **Use Cases**\n\n* **GSuite** – Write emails, find docs, and move data anywhere.\n* **GitHub** – Search repos, manage issues, and navigate faster.\n* **Omni AI** – Talk to and reference live tabs or integrated apps.\n\n### **Coming Soon…**\n\n* **Meetings** 📅 → Create and join calendar and Zoom events instantly\n* **Sales** 💼 → Automate clicks across LinkedIn, Sheets, and Apollo.io\n* **Snippets** ✂️ → Dex captures notes, links, and frequent snippets\n* **Food** 🍔 → Speak to browse options and order DoorDash\n\n### **Our Ask**\n\nWe’re building Dex for power users, founders, students, and curious explorers—because that’s who we are.\n\n[**Join our waitlist**](https://getdexterity.com/) → **Get notified when Dex goes live on the Chrome store**.\\\n[**Follow us on Twitter**](https://x.com/dexterity_ai) → Stay updated on latest features.\\\n[**Discord**](https://x.com/dexterity_ai) → Get to know us more personally + brainstorm cool ideas.\n\nDrop dream features to [regina@getdexterity.com](mailto:regina@getdexterity.com) and let us know what you think!","slug":"Mrm-dex-your-ai-coworker-for-the-browser","created_at":"2025-02-21T18:26:04.905Z","updated_at":"2026-05-25T03:56:08.487Z","total_vote_count":42,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/Mrm-dex-your-ai-coworker-for-the-browser","share_image_url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/media/?type=post\u0026id=87902\u0026key=user_uploads/1003357/f1bfddc3-58c9-4656-8ee5-acc6d83b8e60","company":{"id":30351,"name":"Dex","slug":"joindex","url":"https://joindex.com","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/aac79d12169377e5c2a4f0dfc5863cb25ef3beb7.png","batch":"Winter 2025","industry":"B2B","tags":["Artificial Intelligence","Productivity","Consumer Products","AI"],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/30351"}}
