Consumer AI,
shipped.

We build mobile and web apps that make AI agents and generative AI usable for everyday consumers — not just engineers or power users. Three products live across iOS and the web today, with more in development.

Leverage AI Inc.

A Delaware C-Corporation building consumer AI applications. We design, build, and operate our own mobile and web products end-to-end.

What we do

We turn frontier AI capabilities — agents, multi-agent reasoning, and generative video — into simple, mobile-first consumer apps.

Problem we solve

Today's AI tools require terminals, prompts, API keys, and technical setup. A tiny slice of power users gets real value while the next billion people are locked out. We build the consumer layer that removes all of that.

Who we serve

Everyday consumers, creators, founders, and small teams who want AI to do real work — without learning new tools or writing prompts.

Status

Active company. Three products live across the App Store and the web; one in development. Full-time team of builders with backgrounds at Meta, Google, and a prior consumer app that reached #1 on the US App Store.

The MS-DOS era of AI is ending.

AI today still lives behind a command line. Chat windows, terminals, copy-pasted prompts — a tiny slice of Silicon Valley calls this revolutionary, while the rest of the world is barely paying attention.

Every previous platform shift unlocked its real value the moment a great consumer interface arrived. DOS to Windows. Servers to mobile. Web pages to feeds. The same is about to happen to agents.

We build the products that bring AI agents to people who don't know how to write a prompt — and don't need to. Beautiful, opinionated, mobile-first.

“We're still in the MS-DOS era of agents today. While a small slice of Silicon Valley are power users, we're SO early for the rest of the world.” — a16z Speedrun, request for startups

In practice, that means we build apps — not frameworks, not infrastructure, not B2B tooling. Every product Leverage AI ships is a consumer-facing application that someone can download, sign into, and use today.

Locus

An AI-native workspace that gives agents real context, execution, and continuity across every machine you work on.

Agents today start from zero in every conversation. They lose context the moment a tab closes, can't reach the files and terminals where real work lives, and run in isolated silos that don't follow you between devices. Locus is the workspace platform that fixes this — a unified interface for files, machines, terminals, and browsers that any agent runtime can operate inside.

01 / Context

Files become context.

Folders, project state, terminal history, and prior sessions are exposed to every agent as a first-class workspace — not pasted into a chat box. Agents know what they're working on the moment they start.

02 / Execution

Machines become execution.

A unified runtime spanning your local computer, shared workstations, and on-demand cloud machines. Terminals, browsers, and processes are managed by Locus and reachable from any device.

03 / Continuity

Sessions follow you.

Persistent sessions survive closed tabs, switched devices, and handoffs between agents. Open a session on the web, continue from desktop, finish on mobile — work doesn't reset.

Agent runtimes that operate inside Locus

  • Codex — coding tasks in parallel lanes
  • Claude Code — long-running code agents
  • openclaw — browser and UI operation
  • HermesAgent — workspace coordination

Where it runs

  • Web — live today at locus.cool
  • iOS — live on the App Store
  • Native desktop — in development
  • Local · Remote · Cloud — one workspace, every machine

Architecture

  • Rust daemonlocus-core on every machine, owns PTYs and tunnels
  • Cloudflare Workers — global control plane
  • D1 · R2 · KV · Durable Objects — state, files, sessions
  • Containers — on-demand cloud sandboxes

What we're building.

Four bets on what consumer AI looks like when the chat box disappears.
