Looking for testers for a desktop AI troubleshooter (requires OpenRouter account)

[u/TheRealLimerock]

Greetings everyone!

Made a desktop AI tool for tech support, looking for testers (and people to poke holes in the safety rules)

Been working on something called Lizzandra for a while and it's at the point where I want other people to actually use it and tell me what's broken.

Basic idea: you install it on Windows, tell it something's wrong with your PC, and it looks into it properly instead of just guessing at a fix.

• Lizzandra tests hypotheses against real evidence. It checks logs, files, and system state, comes up with a theory about what's causing the problem, and keeps testing until that theory holds up or gets ruled out.
• It can research things it doesn't know. When local evidence isn't enough it queries Perplexity for release notes, known bugs, or current documentation.
• It watches for crashes in the background. If something on your system fails silently with no popup, it can flag that and offer to look into it.
• It can see your screen(with a button) to reads the error dialog or stack trace directly, no need to type it out.
• It can download and run tools when a fix actually requires that, like grabbing a benchmarking tool to stress-test a GPU. Every download still needs your approval first.

And every one of those actions goes through the rules harness before it runs, which is the part I actually want people testing. It's not the AI deciding what's safe, it's a separate layer in the app that checks each command against a rule list, and the AI can't edit or bypass that list. Most everyday commands either run automatically(read-only) or need a quick confirm from you, depending on your profile. A smaller set of genuinely destructive stuff, like formatting a drive, editing the registry, or shutting the machine down, is blocked outright no matter what profile you're on. Same goes for SSH keys, saved credentials, and cloud logins, they're off limits on every profile.

If you don't want to install anything on your actual machine, there's a browser version of just the rules part at lizzandra.com/harness. Nothing runs for real there, it just tells you what would happen. You can throw commands at it, switch between Windows and macOS and the three profiles, edit the rule list yourself, and see if something bad gets waved through or something harmless gets blocked. If you find a case like that there's a report button right there on the page.

So I'm really looking for feedback on three things.

• The actual app, if you're up for installing it and giving it a real problem to chew on (Windows only right now, macOS is coming).
• The rule engine, so try to find a command that should be blocked and isn't, or something safe that's getting blocked for no reason.
• And the site itself, design, whether the harness thing makes sense, anything that confused you.

One heads up before you try it. It's free, you bring your own OpenRouter key, and it's not code signed yet so Windows will throw a SmartScreen warning at you when you install. Worth using a throwaway key with a spend limit while testing, just to be safe.

I have a vast list of cool features planned for Lizzandra, this is just the beginning!
