Tilo builds a Linux-based operating system designed for AI agents and people to work together, where applications expose their actions so agents can operate through MCP while people use the UI, with the ability to review and undo agent changes. It supports multiple people and agents collaborating in shared workspaces in real time, and can run as a primary OS, in the cloud, or headless on a local machine.
