Ace launches as a digital employee with its own computer, email and logins

Garry Tan (YC CEO) reshares a launch from Instinct & Muse: Ace, an AI employee built for real work.
- The team says their earlier agents treated actual work and compliance as an afterthought, so they built Ace from scratch.
- Ace gets its own computer, email, phone number, and logins — companies onboard it like a new hire, and it then completes tasks autonomously.
- The pitch: agents should arrive with a full working identity and environment, not just be chat assistants.
It's a notable data point in the trend of framing agents as full-time digital coworkers.
