# Welcome to Granite

> Desktop automation platform powered by AI agents and human-in-the-loop workflows

## What is Granite?

Granite is a **desktop automation platform** that combines AI agents with human oversight. You can:

* **Automate repetitive tasks** on Windows desktops
* **Watch AI execute** in real-time with live video streaming
* **Approve or modify actions** before they happen (HITL)
* **Trigger automations** via API from external systems
* **Track everything** with comprehensive analytics
