Keyboard.dev

Keyboard.dev is a software company that builds an AI automation platform centered around the Model Context Protocol (MCP). The platform consists of a companion desktop application that acts as an intermediary layer between AI assistants (such as Claude) and external services or systems the AI interacts with. The core product is a desktop companion app that provides human oversight and control over AI-initiated actions. Rather than allowing AI agents to execute tasks silently in the background, Keyboard surfaces those actions to users for review, approval, and monitoring before and during execution. Key features of the platform include: - Real-time action approval workflows, requiring explicit user sign-off before AI actions are carried out - Visual monitoring and feedback on AI task execution - Isolated code execution via GitHub Codespaces, keeping data within the user's own GitHub environment - Transparency mechanisms that show users what the AI intends to do and why The platform is positioned for individuals and organizations seeking to deploy AI agents for real-world automation tasks while maintaining control and auditability over those actions. The architecture separates the MCP server layer (protocol handling), a companion app layer (user interface), and a bridge communication layer connecting the two. Keyboard.dev appears to target developers and teams exploring AI automation use cases where trust, visibility, and human-in-the-loop oversight are required before broader deployment.
