Solen works step by step until the job is done, it needs you, or it cannot go on, and then says which.
Product
Solen for Windows works the job, step by step.
A Windows desktop AI assistant for long-running tasks. Describe the result you want; Solen works through the apps, asks before risky steps and ends by saying what it did.
How it uses your PC
While it works,
it drives.
Solen reads each window’s text and controls, takes a picture when it needs to see, then clicks, types, scrolls, drags or presses keys. Clicks on a control often go through Windows accessibility without moving the pointer; scrolling, dragging, keys and some clicks use your real mouse and keyboard.
If you start typing or clicking, Solen’s typing stops. Ctrl + Alt + Esc or the Stop button stops the job, and Solen says what it had already done.
Long-running tasks
More than
one reply.
A request can take many steps across several apps. By default it can run for up to 30 minutes, and the clock pauses while Solen waits for your answer.
Sending, paying, deleting for good and security changes wait for your yes, unless your request asked for exactly that step.
If it pressed something risky, such as Publish or Send, and hasn’t looked at that window since, it says Have a look, not Done. After Publish or Send it can also ask the AI model to look again at what it set. These checks can miss mistakes, so review important results.
Feature status
What is in
this Beta.
Available means it is in Solen 0.26.1 beta 2 and we checked it in the released code. Everything else is labelled.
Available
Jobs with many steps across apps
Up to 30 minutes per request by default. The clock pauses while Solen waits for your answer.
Available
Works only in the job’s windows
The window you were in when you asked, windows the job opens, and windows you agree to. A no lasts for the whole job.
Available
Asks before risky steps
Sending to other people, paying, deleting for good, security and access. If you answer Yes to all for payments in an app, each payment it covers is capped at $20.
Available
Checks drafts and typing
Before a send, payment or delete, the draft is compared with your request; a mismatch goes back to Solen and nothing is sent. Typing is read back and fixed.
Available
Plain endings
Done, Answer, Have a look, Didn’t finish, Nothing was changed, or Stopped with what was already done.
Available
Talk to it while it works
Solen hears you mid-job, and a follow-up within about ten minutes carries on the same conversation. Not yet when Solen runs on your ChatGPT plan.
In development
Its own cursor, working beside you
Solen working on its own task while you keep using your PC. Why it isn’t here yet.
Planned
Repeating tasks
Solen does not yet watch for events such as a new file arriving. For now, start each task yourself.
Boundaries
Online AI,
your account.
Solen won’t take a picture that would show a password field Windows knows about, or of a private or password-manager window it recognizes. These checks can miss some apps. If you turn on saved-login sign-in (off by default), after Solen fills a password it takes no more pictures of that window for the rest of the job.
Online AI requests can send task instructions, relevant text and pictures of the windows the task uses to the provider used for that request. Saved screenshots stay on your computer in the current Beta.
Through Solen, your ChatGPT plan, or your own OpenAI, Anthropic or OpenRouter key. The computer-use core does not run on a model on your PC.
