It gives each agent a cloud desktop, browser and filesystem, then saves a successful run as a reusable workflow, free tier included.
Why now: Product Hunt's daily leaderboard put Construct at number one on August 23, 2026, with 128 votes.
Construct took the top spot on Product Hunt's daily leaderboard August 23 with 128 votes. Built by Ankush Singh and Nischal Naik.
The target is the buyer Zapier and Make have owned for a decade, non-technical teams building automation without code. Singh and Naik frame Construct against Relay.app, Make, Trace and Cheat Layer, all workflow-automation tools, not AI products.
Every agent it spins up gets a full cloud desktop, a browser, terminal, filesystem, email, calendar and persistent memory. It can install its own apps mid-task. Once a run works, you save it as a reusable workflow.
The pitch ships with a free tier.
A trigger-action builder needs the exact chain of steps specified up front. Construct's agent tries the task first, installing whatever apps or tools it needs along the way.
Only after it succeeds do you save that run as a repeatable workflow. The product is "figure it out, then keep what worked" instead of "configure it, then run it."
Product Hunt votes measure launch-day attention, not retention or revenue. The leaderboard doesn't say how many of those 128 votes turn into accounts that stick around past the free tier.
