Your first AI employee, right from your iPhone. Computer Agents gives AI its own computer in the cloud. Describe a task in plain English, and your agent works autonomously: writing code, browsing the web, generating images, conducting deep research, managing files, and more. It works while you sleep, remembers everything, and pings you when it's done. This isn't a chatbot. It's a cloud workspace with a brain. KEY FEATURES Always On Every agent runs in its own isolated cloud container: Not on your phone, not on your laptop. Set up a task at midnight, wake up to results. Schedule daily briefings, weekly reports, or monitoring jobs that run automatically. Always Learning Threads maintain full context across messages. Your agent remembers previous work, files, decisions and builds on them. Come back tomorrow, and everything is exactly where it left off. Always Accessible Check on your agents from anywhere. Browse files, send follow-up instructions, and get notified when tasks complete. All from your iPhone. Persistent Workspaces Each agent gets a full development environment with Python, Node.js, and more. Files, packages, and configurations persist across sessions. No setup required. Skills Agents come equipped with web search, image generation, deep research with citations, and PDF processing. Ready out of the box.

The call

The clearest difference is rating: computer agents at 5.0 against Semaphor's 3.5. Semaphor's advantage is ratings volume (15 vs 1) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
