An operating system, not an app
ARIS sits above your tools — a persistent intelligence layer that spans files, apps, browser, and voice instead of living in one chat window.
Beta now rolling out
Meet ARIS
The Personal AI Agent And Operating System.
Your intelligent companion for work, creativity, productivity, and everyday life — it understands, remembers, assists, automates, and evolves with you.
- Local + Cloud
- Hybrid intelligence
- Zero telemetry
- Private by design
- Always on
- Persistent memory
Trusted future vision
Personal computing is being rewritten
For forty years we adapted to machines. ARIS is built on the opposite premise — software that adapts to the person using it.
2026
The assistant era ends
Single-turn chat gives way to persistent, contextual systems.
Today
ARIS beta
A working personal AI OS with memory, vision, voice, and automation.
Next
Ambient intelligence
One companion across every device, screen, and surface you use.
Built by researchers and engineers from human-computer interaction, systems, and applied ML.
What makes ARIS different
Not a chatbot. A system.
Three architectural decisions that separate ARIS from every assistant you've tried.
Memory that compounds
Every conversation, document, and decision becomes durable context. ARIS gets measurably more useful the longer you use it.
Runs where you want
Local models for privacy and speed, frontier cloud models for depth. ARIS routes each task to the right intelligence automatically.
Core features
Everything a personal OS should do
Fifteen capabilities, one coherent system — designed to work together rather than compete for your attention.
Natural Conversations
Fluid, context-aware dialogue that never loses the thread.
Voice Assistant
Low-latency speech in and out, hands-free from anywhere.
Computer Control
ARIS operates apps and windows on your behalf, with consent.
Long-Term Memory
Persistent, structured recall of people, projects, and preferences.
Vision Understanding
Reads screens, images, and documents with real comprehension.
Local AI Support
On-device inference for private, offline-capable intelligence.
Cloud AI Integration
Frontier models on demand for heavy reasoning tasks.
Multi-Provider Intelligence
Route every request to the best model, automatically.
Workflow Automation
Turn repeated sequences into reliable one-command routines.
File Understanding
Drop in anything — ARIS indexes, summarizes, and connects it.
Productivity Tools
Drafting, planning, research, and review built into the OS.
Smart Search
Ask in plain language across everything you have ever given it.
Continuous Learning
Adapts to your tone, standards, and working rhythm over time.
Cross-Platform Future
Desktop today. Mobile, web, and wearables on the roadmap.
Privacy First
Your data stays yours — encrypted, local-first, never sold.
AI capabilities
Four pillars of intelligence
ARIS combines reasoning, perception, action, and recall into a single loop that runs continuously in the background of your work.
01
Reasoning
Multi-step planning, tool use, and self-verification on complex tasks.
02
Perception
Screen, camera, audio, and document understanding in one pipeline.
03
Action
Safe execution across your desktop with reversible, auditable steps.
04
Recall
Semantic memory graph linking entities, events, and intentions.
How ARIS works
Four steps to an intelligence layer
No prompt engineering, no configuration marathon. ARIS becomes useful in minutes and indispensable in weeks.
- 01
Install & connect
ARIS installs locally and asks what it may see. You grant access surface by surface.
- 02
It builds context
Files, notes, and conversations become a private memory graph on your machine.
- 03
You delegate
Speak or type an intent. ARIS plans, picks the right model, and executes step by step.
- 04
It evolves
Outcomes feed back into memory. Routines you repeat become automations you never think about.
Personal memory
It remembers, so you don't have to
ARIS maintains a structured, private memory of your world — people, projects, preferences, and prior decisions — and brings the right piece forward at the right moment.
- Entity-linked memory graph instead of flat chat history
- Recall with citations back to the original source
- Full inspection: view, edit, or delete any memory
Voice + vision
Speak to it. Show it anything.
Natural, low-latency conversation paired with real visual understanding of your screen, camera, and documents — the two senses an operating system has always been missing.
- Sub-second voice round trips with natural interruption
- Screen-aware assistance that sees what you see
- Reads diagrams, PDFs, screenshots, and handwriting
Automation
Delegate the work that repeats
ARIS observes the sequences you run again and again, then offers to own them — with previews, approvals, and a full audit trail before anything executes.
- Natural-language workflows, no node editors required
- Scheduled and event-triggered routines
- Reversible actions with step-by-step approval
Privacy & security
An AI you can actually trust with everything
A personal operating system only works if it knows a lot about you. That raises the bar for how carefully it must be built.
Local-first
Your memory and files stay on your device by default.
End-to-end encryption
Anything synced is encrypted with keys only you hold.
No training on you
Your data is never used to train models. Ever.
Transparent permissions
Every capability is granted explicitly and revocable instantly.
Product showcase
A calm interface for an intelligent system
Conversation, memory, and automation in one surface — dense when you need it, quiet when you don't.

Roadmap
Where ARIS goes next
Built in public, shipped in sequence. Each release deepens the same system rather than bolting on features.
Shipping now
ARIS Beta for desktop
Conversation, memory, voice, vision, and local + cloud routing.
Next quarter
Automation Studio
Natural-language routines with scheduling, triggers, and approvals.
Later this year
ARIS Mobile

Beyond
Developer platform
Extensions, agents, and secure capability APIs for third parties.
Testimonials
From the private beta
Placeholder quotes from early testers. Full case studies publish alongside general availability.
It stopped feeling like a tool I open and started feeling like part of how I work.
The memory is the whole thing. I never re-explain a project twice.
First AI on my machine I would actually trust with my file system.
