Hi all. If you found this interesting could you please upvote pneuma on product hunt? It would go a long way:https://www.producthunt.com/products/pneuma

I love this! Building for the future is the best way to bring the future to us!

That's exactly it! I've absolutely loved the empowered my AI coding has brought me. This is about bringing the same to the end user with no technical skills!

Thank you! I'm very excited about it. I really hope it gets traction!

Just a couple of weeks once the initial idea was decided.

Hey. This is a fair remark and logical too. It's build to run in a sandbox on other OS now to ease uptake. Asking people to install a new OS because "trust me bro" is not gonna work.

That said it is build as an os. It generates real wasm that runs directly on the machine.

Porting to baremetal is next on the backlog. It will require embedding rust cranelift directory into pneuma amongst other things but the hardest/biggest and most architectural part is already done: wasm. You can check out the blog for more info.

There is a build in filesystem handling system. For example, if you ask it to build a Todo task agent it will need to persist the tasks and their state to disk. It knows which syscalls to use in the pneuma microkernal and it builds with that in mind. When you start the app it will reauesf access to the file system.

I see a lot of interest and good questions here. I've just published a blog post with more details for anyone interested https://pneuma.computer/blog/how-pneuma-generates-compiles-a...

Yeah there is a pneuma agent/app store for that. And security permissions are built in also. pneuma asks for approval for the different rights the agent needs before running.

This is built with the paradigm of "don't build for the model of today, build for the model in 6 months" It currently works, which amazes me still, but it will get much better!

Thanks for the great feedback. That's why there is an app store in pneuma. You can upload and download pneuma generated apps from others. Give it a try!

Feel free to sign up at pneuma.computer you can try for free. You feedback would be greatly appreciated

Yeah you can edit them however you like. I asked it to make a game with a lion fighting a bulldog and it could even doing that :D

I've built a list of common gotchas in the generation prompts. Also if the compilation fails it falls back to opus with the error message and code and can try again twice.

Voice is a great idea! On the backlog. Also pneuma already supports iteration/edits. You can say "edit my pong game so the paddles are pink" and it's smart enough to do it.

Yes that is definitely still gonna be necessary and it's why I build on a store where people can upload their apps/agents. There is a loose community section and in the backlog I have work around offering an sdk and official store for established companies to ship pneuma apps.

Thanks! Playbit is a cool project, I've followed it. The key difference with Pneuma is that the programs themselves are AI-generated at runtime. There's no toolchain the user interacts with, no editor, no compiler invocation. You describe what you want and the system handles everything from code generation through compilation to execution in one pass. Yansu is interesting too but it's a web app builder. Pneuma runs native GPU-rendered agents in WASM sandboxes on the desktop, so you can build things like real-time games and data visualizers with keyboard/mouse input, not just web UIs. The closest analogy is probably a microkernel where every userspace process is conjured by an LLM instead of installed from a package manager.
