Coasty is an AI agent that controls a real computer by sight—reading the live screen, clicking, typing, and completing tasks across desktop apps, web portals, mainframes, and internal tools. It operates without APIs, connectors, or selectors, using a self correcting loop: observe, act, verify, recover. This allows it to handle UI changes, pop ups, and novel screens autonomously. Coasty provides a computer use API (screenshot in, structured JSON action out), a standalone agent, and enterprise automation for legacy software. It supports human in the loop approval, full audit trails, on prem or BYOK deployment, and multi agent swarms.
Positioning
Coasty is a short, catchy name that evokes 'coast' (smooth sailing) and 'coastline' (edge), aligning with its promise of reliable automation. However, the name lacks direct semantic connection to computer-use agents, and the website error undermines memorability. The tagline clearly positions it as a robust alternative to fragile agents, but the name alone doesn't convey this.
