What they do

Problem

Using AI for everyday desktop work is too frictionful because it requires constant prompting and lacks cross-app context and actionable workflows.

Solution

A proactive, largely promptless desktop AI copilot that carries context across apps and can take actions (e.g., draft emails/docs, capture meetings, detect action items) while keeping user data off company servers.

Who it's for

Knowledge workers who use multiple desktop apps for daily tasks like email, documents, and meetings.
