Summary
Rube is a new AI tool that enables users to take actions across 600+ applications directly from AI chat interfaces like Cursor, Claude, and VS Code. It solves the common problem where AI assistants can provide advice but cannot execute tasks in real applications. The tool manages authentication and tool selection seamlessly, allowing users to automate repetitive tasks across multiple apps without manual copying or using multiple automation tools.
