LOS ANGELES, CA, October 21, 2026 — Novastart today introduced a new approach to AI computer use that allows multiple AI agents to operate applications simultaneously while the user keeps working on the same computer. Instead of giving an AI agent control of a user's only mouse and keyboard, Novastart gives each agent its own independent cursor and keyboard inside the operating system. Up to 10 AI agents can work at once, each appearing on Novastart's infinite canvas with its own labeled cursor and window.

"AI agents shouldn't have to take over your computer in order to help you," said Thomas Fraher, co-founder and CTO of Novastart. "You should be able to keep working while several agents work alongside you — and you should always be able to see exactly what they're doing."

A user can give a larger task to a lead agent, which can divide the work among as many as 10 helper agents, each working in a separate application or window. Every agent has a visible cursor, and users can follow actions as they happen, interrupt the work or take control of a window themselves.

Novastart currently supports more than 30 web applications as standalone windows, including Chrome, Claude, ChatGPT, Gmail, Excel, WhatsApp and Notion.

Availability: Novastart is available now at https://novastart.com/ with Free, Pro and Team plans. The Novastart app runs in a window on Windows 10 or 11 and Intel-based Macs, and Novastart OS can be installed as the operating system on Intel and other x86 PCs from a USB drive.

About Novastart: an infinite canvas operating system where people, teams and AI agents work together on one shared canvas. Founded by brothers Thomas and Nick Fraher; based in Los Angeles, California.
