Why We Built Fous Pilot
Modern web browsing can be overwhelming. From juggling countless tabs to filling repetitive forms, it's easy to lose focus on what you're trying to accomplish. Our vision with Fous Pilot is to create an AI assistant that helps manage these tasks more intelligently.
We believe that AI should enhance human capabilities, not replace them. Fous Pilot is designed to handle the mundane aspects of web browsing, freeing you to focus on the creative and strategic elements that truly require human intelligence.
The internet has transformed how we work, shop, learn, and connect, but it hasn't always evolved with human needs in mind. Many websites still require repetitive actions and complex navigation patterns that consume valuable time and mental energy.
