Hi HN,<p>Jian and Thomas here (co-founders of Pointer).<p>Today we're sharing something we've been working on for the last two months. We've built a sota General Purpose AI Agent (GPA) that exists completely in the command line as a CLI tool.<p>Our goal was to show that with just minimal scaffolding, we could unlock the full potential of a model's agentic capabilities (Claude Sonnet 3.7) to create a highly effective GPA. What sets Pointer apart is its ability to be more agentic than interactive coding tools like Claude Code, using multiple tools autonomously.<p>Via CLI, we can direct Pointer to perform multi-step tasks autonomously. It aims to assist you in your workflows by allowing an LLM to access:<p>- Web Search<p>- Browser: Using a headful, stateful browser with a browser agent to interact with web pages (tasks like filling forms, navigating, exploring content)<p>- File System Access: Read/write/edit local files<p>- Code: Generate and run code<p>- Bash: Can run commands<p>We've used it to work on itself, perform complete end-to-end software development workflows, reorganize our file systems on our desktop (:D), submit forms, and do research for us.<p>There's a Discord for installation instructions, discussion, and showcases where we'd welcome your feedback and testing!<p>Thanks for your attention.<p>Cheers,<p>The Pointer team<p>-----<p>Links<p>Installation instructions: <a href="https://discord.gg/ZsSwZM7v" rel="nofollow">https://discord.gg/ZsSwZM7v</a><p>Website: <a href="https://www.trypointer.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.trypointer.com/</a><p>Demo video 1: <a href="https://youtu.be/00typbr9Rg8" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/00typbr9Rg8</a><p>Demo video 2: <a href="https://youtu.be/9OsMpBrIg7Q" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/9OsMpBrIg7Q</a><p>-----
