Novastart Lets 10 AI Agents Use a Computer at the Same Time — Without Taking Over Your Mouse

Novastart gives every AI agent its own cursor, keyboard and workspace, allowing people to watch and control multiple agents working across real applications.

LOS ANGELES, CA, October 19, 2026 — Novastart today announced a new approach to AI computer use that allows multiple AI agents to operate applications simultaneously while the user continues 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 agent appears directly on Novastart's infinite canvas with its own labeled cursor and window. Users can watch agents click, type and navigate applications in real time while continuing to use their own mouse and keyboard independently.

The result is closer to having a team of digital coworkers sitting at the same computer than handing a computer over to a single AI assistant.

"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."

Novastart is designed around concurrent computer use. A user can give a larger task to a lead agent, which can divide the work among as many as 10 helper agents. Each helper receives its own independent input controls and can work in a separate application or window.

Novastart replaces the traditional desktop with an infinite canvas that can hold applications, websites, documents and other workspaces across a virtually unlimited area. 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 Novastart (https://novastart.com/) with Free, Pro and Team plans. The Novastart app runs the complete Novastart environment inside a window on Windows 10 or Windows 11 and Intel-based Macs. Novastart OS can also be installed directly as the operating system on Intel and other x86 PCs using a USB drive.
