Ex-OpenAI Staff Launches Energy: A Browser-Control AI Agent Orchestrator
gabriel1 · x · 2026-08-08
Three months after resigning from OpenAI, Gabriel1 has officially launched Energy, an AI agent product designed to onboard the world to doing all computer work via AI.
Key features and product design choices include:
- Computer use capability: Starts by connecting the user's browser, effectively bypassing initial login blocks.
- Memory & Skills import: Allows users to import existing memories and skills rather than starting fresh.
- BYOsub (Bring Your Own Subprocess): Free to start with no API key required.
- Simplified orchestration: Eliminates traditional projects and endless chats. Instead, it uses an orchestrator per initiative and proactively proposes work it can do on day 1.
- Multiplayer expansion: Users can invite their teams for better stickiness.
Early testers have noted noticeably better model outputs and praised the thoughtful product design, claiming it helps accomplish days of work in just hours.
