What is Observer AI?
Observer AI is a privacy-first, open-source website that watches your screen, logs, reacts and notifies. "Send me an email when this 2-hour video render is finished" "Listen to this Zoom and log every topic discussed." "Start recording when someone appears"
Problem
Users manually monitor their screens for specific events or tasks (e.g., tracking video render progress, Zoom meeting topics) requiring constant attention. Manual monitoring is time-consuming, error-prone, and inefficient.
Solution
A privacy-first, open-source local AI agent platform that automates screen observation. Users can set agents to watch their screens, log activities, trigger actions (e.g., send emails), and notify based on predefined conditions. Examples: auto-email after video rendering, log Zoom discussion topics, or start recording when a person appears.
