Neutron is your desktop AI assistant. It can see what’s on your screen, preemptively offer you help, write, summarize, or read from any app. Don't download another Chrome extension or browser, just use Neutron directly in your existing workflow.
I built this cause most AI apps feel trapped in a box. To get a little context, you have to sign in to ten different services—and even then, they still don’t really know what you’re doing right now. If you want their help, you have to remember to loop them in.
Neutron flips that model. It’s a desktop AI assistant that is your computer:
✨ Works everywhere – Chrome, Word, Slack, PDFs… Neutron overlays AI right on top of the apps you already use.
⚡ Preemptive help – Draft, analyze, search. Neutron guesses what you need next so a quick double-tap of “Tab” just does it.
🧩 Simple & seamless – No endless API sign-ins. No browser switch. Just one intelligent layer across your desktop.
We were inspired by Cursor’s magical “Tab to complete” flow—but realized no one has built that same fluid, predictive experience for the entire desktop. That’s what Neutron is: the preemptive AI layer that lives across all your tools, so you can think and build faster without changing your workflow.
Who’s it for? Founders, engineers, researchers, creators—anyone who uses a computer to think and build.
We’ve been using Neutron daily, for scraping websites, transcribing numbers out of PDFs, and even writing email replies.
Excited to share it with you all today 🙌

Who hunted Neutron?
Neutron was hunted by Ben Lang. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
