About Tilo

YC company profile

A Linux-based, AI-native operating system.

Tilo is a Linux-based operating system built for AI agents to work alongside people. On Tilo, computer use is up to 10,000x cheaper than on a normal OS.

Today agents use computers the way people do. They take screenshots and click through apps, which is slow, expensive, and brittle. In Tilo, every app exports actions, so agents work over MCP while people use the UI. You still see what each agent does in your apps, and anything it changes can be undone.

Any number of people and agents can work in one workspace in real time, across apps. Tilo runs as your OS, in our cloud, or headless on your machine, and you can open and share any workspace from the browser.
