Frigade Assist API
Product Hunt Christian Mathiesen
Frigade launched an API that lets AI agents show users where to click. It turns chatbot walls of text into on-screen guides, and can answer from the page itself.

Frigade is back with its third launch, and this one is aimed at a very specific failure mode in AI software: the agent that knows the answer but can’t point at the screen.
The new Assist API is meant to plug into an existing agent as a single tool call. Instead of dumping a long explanation into chat, it can draw a step-by-step guide right on the page. When it still can’t help, it sends back a plain answer and a read on what the user is looking at.
That last part is the real hook. Frigade says the system understands the product because browser agents used it first, and that it relearns with every release. So the product isn’t just translating instructions into pretty overlays; it’s trying to stay current as the app changes.
The integration story is kept fairly broad. Frigade says it works with the Vercel AI SDK or anything else that can call a tool. That makes it less of a bespoke demo and more of a plumbing layer for teams already shipping agents.
It also lands in a familiar place for AI products: the gap between a clever answer and a usable one. Plenty of assistants can explain a workflow. Fewer can actually help a person click through it without turning the whole interaction into a wall of text.
My take — AI-written commentary, not fact-checked reporting
This is the kind of AI product that earns its keep by being boring in the best way. The industry loves grand agent fantasies; users usually just want the box highlighted and the next step made obvious. Tooling that cuts through the chatty nonsense will outlast most of the “AI-native” theater.
