Incredible: Control Your Computer with Voice as AI Learns How You Work

When AI Starts "Watching You Work"

On ProductHunt, a product called Incredible made its debut under the banner of "Vibe computing," climbing to fifth place for the day with 130 upvotes and 22 comments. Its core pitch is straightforward: a personal AI assistant that can genuinely get things done on your computer.

Unlike tools that require you to manually write instructions or configure automation workflows, Incredible takes an approach closer to how humans actually learn — by watching what you do. You simply demonstrate a task on your computer while narrating the steps out loud, and from that point on, it can take over the repetitive parts on its own.

The Product Logic Behind "Vibe Computing"

"Vibe computing" is an obvious nod to the recently popularized concept of "Vibe coding" — where developers describe their intent in natural language and let AI generate the code. Incredible extends this idea to everyday computer use: instead of clicking, dragging, and memorizing tedious navigation paths, you express your intent through voice and let AI interpret and execute it.

According to the official description, typical use cases include processing invoices, updating CRM systems, and editing spreadsheets — the kind of repetitive office work that eats up a huge chunk of a knowledge worker's day without requiring much creativity. Incredible's positioning is sharp: it's not trying to replace creative work, but to take over the "easy to learn, painful to repeat a hundred times" routine tasks.

The Learning Path from Demo to Automation

The most noteworthy aspect of the product is its learning mechanism. Traditional RPA (Robotic Process Automation) tools typically require specialists to configure rules, which creates a high barrier to entry. Incredible attempts to lower that barrier through "demonstration-based teaching" — you show the task, explain the steps, the AI watches and records, and then it can reproduce the entire workflow.

In theory, this approach dramatically reduces the complexity of automation tools for everyday users. That said, there's still a meaningful gap between a demonstrated task and reliably automated execution — handling UI changes, edge cases, and cross-application accuracy are all areas this type of product needs to continuously refine.

RPA (Robotic Process Automation) is an automation technology that uses software bots to simulate human interactions with interfaces. It has been evolving in the enterprise market for years. Leading RPA platforms like UiPath and Automation Anywhere typically require IT staff or professional consultants to define each step using visual flowcharts or scripts — with long deployment cycles and high maintenance costs. The "demonstration-based" approach that Incredible represents combines workflow recording with AI comprehension. Rather than hard-coding mouse coordinates and keyboard events into scripts, it attempts to understand the intent behind actions — making it resilient to minor UI changes when finding the right interaction target. This direction is known in the industry as "AI-native RPA" or "cognitive automation," and represents a significant evolution in the automation space — though it also demands extremely strong visual understanding and semantic reasoning capabilities under the hood.

Product Form and Positioning

On ProductHunt, Incredible is categorized under Productivity, Artificial Intelligence, and Menu Bar Apps. The menu bar format means it lives quietly at the top of your screen, always on standby — a fitting form factor for a "personal assistant" that shouldn't intrude, doesn't monopolize your main display, and can be summoned whenever needed.

This category of desktop-level AI agents is becoming a hot area. Compared to cloud-based chatbots, AI assistants that can directly operate local software and files are much closer to users' actual work environments — and far more likely to generate real productivity gains.

Real Value and Open Questions

130 upvotes and a top-five finish for the day suggest that Incredible's concept genuinely resonates with users. But for a desktop AI agent to truly deliver, it needs to answer some critical questions: How is privacy and data security handled — given that it needs to "watch" everything you do? How accurate and generalizable is its learning? Can it remain reliable when dealing with complex, variable real-world tasks?

Based on publicly available information, these details haven't been fully disclosed yet. For users considering trying it out, the recommendation is to start with low-risk, highly repetitive tasks and gradually validate its actual performance.

The privacy implications of desktop AI agents deserve special attention. These products need to continuously capture screenshots and track mouse and keyboard events in order to "understand" what the user is doing. This means all on-screen content — including password entry fields, private files, and confidential business documents — is in principle within the AI's "field of view." The industry currently handles this in two ways: either uploading all data to the cloud for model inference (stronger performance, higher privacy risk), or running inference entirely on-device (data never leaves the machine, but hardware requirements are higher). Before adopting tools like this, users should confirm whether data leaves the device, whether it's used for model training, and what the vendor's data retention policy is — especially when handling financial or customer-related work.

Conclusion

Incredible represents a snapshot of a broader trend: AI moving from "conversation" to "action" — no longer content with answering questions, but actually rolling up its sleeves and getting the work done. Through the combination of voice control and demonstration-based learning, it aims to bring automation within reach of everyday users. The concept is compelling, but whether the product can live up to its promise still needs to be tested in the real world of actual office work.
