3 AI Modes
- Action Mode -- AI investigates and fixes problems automatically. Safe tools run without prompting; destructive actions require your explicit approval.
- Guided Mode -- AI walks you through every step before acting. Great for learning.
- Chat-Only Mode -- AI gives advice but never touches your system.
Dual AI Provider
- GitHub Copilot -- zero setup if you already have a Copilot subscription.
- Anthropic API -- bring your own API key for direct Claude access.

Disclaimer
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. Automac IT modifies system settings, terminates processes, removes startup items, deletes temporary files, and executes PowerShell commands on your computer. While safety guardrails exist (protected process lists, confirmation gates, blocked command patterns), no software can guarantee zero risk to your system.
By using Automac IT, you acknowledge:
- You are responsible for approving every destructive action. The yellow confirmation banner exists for a reason — read it before clicking "Allow."
- AI can make mistakes. The AI may misidentify a process, suggest removing something important, or misdiagnose a problem. Always verify suggestions before acting.
- System changes may be irreversible. Killing a process, uninstalling a program, or modifying startup items can cause data loss or system instability.
- No warranty. The software is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. Beautiful Planet is not liable for any damage, data loss, or system failure resulting from use of this software.
- Back up your data. Before using destructive tools, ensure you have current backups.
