It has its own computer
Every agent gets a private Linux desktop with a real browser, a terminal, and files. It never touches your browser. Watch it work live, and take over when it needs a login.

Say yo.
Say yo.
It does the rest.
Yo is a personal AI agent with a computer of its own. It runs on the Claude or ChatGPT plan you already pay for, works the task end to end, and checks with you before anything that matters.
Copy one line, paste it into Claude Code or Codex, and your agent installs Yo for you.

01Live demo
Take it for a spin.
A working copy of the Yo app. It starts where you will: connect your model, then your first agent sets up its computer. After that, meet the crew. Replies are scripted, but the flow is the real one.

02How it works
From download to done.
No account to make and no API key. Yo uses the plan you already pay for, then its first agent sets up its own computer.
-
Step 1
Download Yo
Get Yo from GitHub and install it, or let your coding agent do it for you. The first time, your computer asks you to confirm it once (see the FAQ).
-
Step 2
Connect your plan
Claude with
claude setup-token, or ChatGPT with a Codex sign-in. Yo walks you through it, and spots a sign-in you already have. -
Step 3
It sets up its own computer
Your first agent says “Let's set up my computer”: on this computer, or on a home server (advanced). It checks your computer and guides the installs. Cloud is coming soon.
-
Step 4
It works for you
Ask in plain words. Watch its screen and plan live, or go do something else and check back later.
03Why Yo
Not another chat box.
A chatbot hands you an answer. Yo works through the task and comes back when it's done or needs you.
On the plan you already pay for
Sign in with your Claude or ChatGPT subscription. No API keys, no second bill. Switch any agent any time.
It asks before it acts
Purchases, messages, and posts wait for your tap. Logins and 2FA codes always go through you.
It gets better at you
Yo remembers how you like things done, and that memory belongs to you. Switch models and it's still the same agent.

08FAQ
Good questions.
How much does it cost?
Yo is $10, to support its ongoing development and updates. Payments open soon; until then you can download it right away. It runs on the Claude or ChatGPT plan you already pay for, so there's no model bill and no API key to manage.
macOS says it can't verify Yo. How do I open it?
Yo's builds aren't notarized by Apple, so macOS asks you to confirm it once. Open Yo and click Done on
the warning. Then open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down to “Yo was blocked” and click
Open Anyway, then Open Anyway again and enter your Mac password. That's macOS 15 Sequoia and later; on
macOS 13 or 14 you can instead right-click Yo in Applications, choose Open, then Open again. Or skip
all that and run this once in Terminal:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Yo.app
After that it opens like any other app.
After an update, macOS asks about “Yo Safe Storage”. Is that OK?
Yes. Yo keeps its saved login in your Mac's Keychain, under “Yo Safe Storage”. Each new version has a new signature, so macOS checks with you once after you update. Enter your Mac password and click Always Allow. Yo shows a short note while it waits.
Which subscriptions work?
Claude Pro or Max, connected with claude setup-token. Or ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business or
Enterprise, through a Codex sign-in just for Yo. Each agent picks its account and model, and you can
switch at any time.
Where does its computer run?
On your computer, in a small virtual machine (free tools), or on an always-on PC at home if you're up for the advanced setup. Your first agent walks you through either one. A cloud option is coming soon.
Will it touch my browser or my files?
No. Each agent works on its own computer, with its own browser. Access to your Mac's apps, like Calendar or Notes, is off by default and you turn it on one app at a time.
What happens when it needs to log in or pay?
It stops and asks. Purchases, messages, and posts wait for an Approve tap. For logins and 2FA codes, you take over its screen, type them yourself, and hand control back.
How does it update?
Yo checks GitHub for new releases. When one is out, it tells you, and its Download button downloads the new version. Install it the same way; your agents and settings stay.
Does it keep working when my laptop is closed?
Yes, if its computer runs on a home server. Your laptop becomes a window into the agent wherever you are.
Yo, what's first?
Give it the thing you've been putting off. It'll handle the follow-through.
