Matthew White – They Built an AI Browser… Moving Toward AI Becoming the Operating System

In this episode of The Builders, Matt talks with Matthew White, CEO of PlatypusOS—a new kind of browser designed for the AI-powered future of work.

Matthew shares how a simple frustration with too many tabs sparked the idea to build a smarter, more structured browser—one that integrates seamlessly with your tools and acts like an assistant, not just a gateway to the web.

From the foundation of PlatypusOS to the rise of AI agents and cloud-based automation, Matthew outlines a bold vision: a world where AI becomes the operating system that runs your digital life.

Whether you're building SaaS, streamlining your business, or just drowning in browser tabs, this episode is full of insights on how the way we work online is rapidly evolving.

💡 Key Takeaways:

• PlatypusOS replaces browser chaos with structure. Built on Chromium, it integrates your most-used apps directly into a sidebar—no more tab overwhelm.

• AI is embedded, not bolted on. The browser acts like an assistant, helping users access and use tools without deep technical knowledge.

• Agents are the future. These no-code workflows allow automation across apps, replacing repetitive tasks and reducing the need for traditional SaaS.

• Headless, cloud-based browsing is coming. Faster performance, better sync, and added security will soon define the next-gen browser experience.

• Small businesses need AI they can trust. PlatypusOS prioritizes accessibility, data control, and real use cases over hype.

• AI isn’t just a tool—it’s your new team member. Matthew frames AI not as a replacement, but as a partner that can work alongside you.
