In beta · Made in France by YatoFix

Your AI assistant. Its own computer. Available everywhere. Under your control.

Pichu works for you on its own cloud computer: it browses, fills in, sorts and follows up. It acts on its own on what you’ve asked it to watch, and waits for your OK before anything sensitive.

What Pichu does

An assistant that does the work, not just the talking

  • Its own computer

    Every person gets a persistent cloud computer with a desktop, a browser, a terminal and files. Your Bots work there, stay signed in to the sites you choose, and you can watch them live or take over at any time.

  • It takes the initiative

    Routines run on a schedule, when an email arrives or when another service calls a webhook. Each morning, a brief tells you what’s done, what needs you and what’s stuck.

  • A team, not just one bot

    Start with one main assistant. Add specialists for mail, accounting or suppliers if you want: they work in groups and hand tasks to each other.

  • Your OK before sensitive actions

    Sending, deleting and paying wait for your approval, with a clear summary of what will happen. Payments always do. You set the rest, Bot by Bot.

  • Memory you can read

    Each Bot remembers what matters about you and its work. You can read and edit that memory in the app. What it learns once, it can reuse.

  • Everywhere you are

    Web, Mac, Windows and Linux apps, iPhone (TestFlight beta) and Android (beta). Approve from your phone, follow along on your desktop.

How it works

From a request to a finished task

  1. Ask, or set it up once

    Write what you need in the conversation, or turn it into a routine that runs without you.

  2. It works on its computer

    It opens sites, reads the mail and calendars you’ve connected, uses its terminal and your connectors, and keeps notes as it goes.

  3. It checks with you

    Before sending, deleting or paying, you get an approval request with the details and a second model’s review.

  4. It reports back

    Progress, results and blockers come back in the conversation, in notifications and in your morning brief.

Try Pichu with a fictional shop

The demo plays a day with a small online shop that doesn’t exist: a team of Bots, a live conversation, an approval request, routines, the morning brief and the screen of the Bot’s computer.

Match this month’s invoices with the bank payments.

  • Collected 24 invoices from the inbox
  • Read the bank export
  • Drafted 2 reminders

I matched 18 of 24 invoices. 4 have no payment yet and 2 differ from the bank amount. I drafted reminders to the 2 suppliers concerned: sending them needs your approval.

Security and control

An assistant that can act needs limits you can see

Here is what Pichu does today, in the beta.

  • Approvals by category

    Emails, sending, deleting, payments, system settings and routines: each can require your OK or be left free, Bot by Bot. Payments always require it.

  • A second model checks sensitive actions

    Before an action goes out, another model compares it with your request and looks for instructions slipped into an email or a web page. It never decides for you: its verdict appears on the approval request.

  • Outside triggers are restricted

    Work started by an incoming email or a webhook cannot send anything without your approval.

  • A vault for passwords

    Credentials are encrypted and filled in on the Bot’s computer. The AI model never sees your passwords.

  • Your computer, your log

    One computer per person, never shared with someone else. Every change and every sign-in goes into a log you can read.

  • Hosted in France, with a clear exception

    Your data and computers are hosted in France. The AI model that does the work is DeepSeek by default (China); you can switch to Mistral (EU) with your own key.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is Pichu?

Pichu is an AI assistant with its own cloud computer. It works on websites, files and the services you connect, acts on its own on what you’ve asked it to watch, and asks for your approval before sensitive actions. It’s made by YatoFix, in France, and is in beta.

How is Pichu different from a chat assistant?

A chat assistant mostly answers you. Pichu also does the work: it uses its own computer that stays signed in, runs routines while you’re away, follows tasks over several days and comes back to you when it needs a decision.

Can Pichu send emails or pay without asking me?

Not if you keep those actions under approval, and payments always need your OK. You decide for the other categories, Bot by Bot, and a second model reviews sensitive actions before they go out.

Where is my data stored?

On servers in France: accounts, conversations, files, memory and the Bots’ computers. To do its work, a Bot sends the request and the useful context to the AI model provider: DeepSeek (China) by default, or Mistral (EU) with your own key.

Can I watch what my Bot is doing?

Yes. You can watch its screen live and take over the mouse and keyboard at any time.

Can I host Pichu myself?

Self-hosting will be free, under a proprietary license. The complete package is in preparation; today’s installer still connects to our platform.

Which apps are available?

The web app, desktop apps for Mac, Windows and Linux, an iPhone app in TestFlight beta (by invitation) and an Android app in beta. They all use the same account.

How much does Pichu cost?

Prices aren’t published during the beta. Self-hosting will be free and the managed cloud will be a paid subscription.

Why is it called Pichu?

It’s the name of our cat.

Pichu the cat, white with an apricot beret and a navy striped shirt, waving

Why “Pichu”?

Pichu is our cat. He gave his name to the product and drops by now and then. Your Bots, though, are the spheres: each one has its own color and its own moods.
