Show HN: Equipping AI Agents with On-Screen Visual Guides

Original title:Show HN: Give your AI agent on-screen guides that show users where to click

Products58

Rather than attempting full autonomous cursor control or dumping multi-step instructions into a chat sidebar, this Show HN project enables AI agents to render contextual visual spotlights directly on the user's interface. By overlaying clear prompts that show users precisely where to click, the tool preserves human agency while significantly reducing the cognitive friction of navigating unfamiliar software.

Why it's worth reading

It offers a pragmatic middle ground for agentic UI design, favoring transparent on-screen navigation over error-prone autonomous takeovers.
