IrisGo (Irixion) · IrisGo: Desktop AI Agent That Learns a Workflow From One Demonstration and Reruns It

Open IrisGo

IrisGo is a desktop AI agent for Windows 11 and Apple Silicon Macs that watches you perform a task once, turns it into a reusable skill, and then runs it on your computer on a schedule or trigger, alongside a daily priority brief, email triage, and meeting recaps. It suits solopreneurs and individual knowledge workers who want recurring admin handed off without writing prompts or building automations, and it is free during its public beta.

Best for

Solopreneurs, freelancers, and individual knowledge workers on a Windows 11 PC or Apple Silicon Mac who repeat the same multi-app admin every week and would rather show the task once than write prompts or build automations

Not ideal for

Teams that need shared, centrally managed automations with an API, admin controls, or SLAs; Linux, Intel Mac, and mobile-only users; and anyone who needs fixed long-term pricing before committing to a beta tool

Who it's for

Solopreneurs, freelancers, and individual professionals who want recurring desktop admin automated by demonstration on their own Windows PC or Mac

Capabilities

  • Watch & Learn: demonstrate a task once and IrisGo records the steps, logic, and intent and saves them as a reusable skill, with no prompt writing or flow building
  • Runs learned workflows autonomously across apps on your own computer, triggered by schedules (for example a weekday 8:00 brief) or events
  • Skill Library of community-built workflows (email triage, report builder, meeting notes, invoice processing, web scraper, lead scoring and more) that you import and then teach your own variation
  • Daily Brief and Radar: surfaces the three highest-priority actions from email, calendar, and to-dos each morning and updates them through the day
  • Email Triage that learns which messages are urgent, from clients, or need action, and flags priorities and deadlines
  • Meeting summaries with action items added to your priority list, and expense report filing learned from how you categorize receipts
  • Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Calendar integration: search and summarize mail and files, extract tasks, label and archive messages, draft or send replies, and create or update events on request
  • Hybrid models: local inference on the PC's NPU or GPU, or a cloud model routed through OpenRouter (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) or your own AI provider account
  • OpenClaw skills support, and on Mac a native UI for running OpenClaw-style agent harnesses such as Hermes Agent without a terminal
  • Automatic updates, and cloud backup that keeps your workflows synced across machines

Limitations

  • Still a public beta (desktop app v0.2.5 at the time of writing), so features and behavior may change
  • Mac support is limited to Apple Silicon; the Windows build is for Windows 11 64-bit, and there is no Linux, web, or mobile app
  • Free during the beta, but no pricing for after the beta has been published
  • No public API, team workspace, or admin and SSO controls are documented, so it is built for one person's computer rather than shared team automation
  • Documented app connections are mainly Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Calendar; other apps are reached through screen-level automation and skills
  • With a cloud model selected, the content a request needs, including Gmail or Drive content, is sent to that AI provider; fully on-device processing requires choosing a local model
  • No minimum hardware requirements are published, even though local inference is pitched around NPU and GPU-equipped AI PCs

Use cases

  • Getting a weekday 8:00 brief with the three most important actions pulled from Gmail, Calendar, and your to-dos
  • Teaching IrisGo once how you compile several documents into a weekly report, then letting it repeat the report on a schedule
  • Triaging a client inbox so urgent and action-required messages are flagged with deadlines
  • Filing expense reports by showing IrisGo how you categorize receipts, then letting it fill future reports as receipts arrive
  • Turning a call into a recap with action items that land on your priority list
  • Running an OpenClaw-style agent such as Hermes Agent on a Mac through a native app instead of a terminal

Our take

IrisGo's bet is that people describe their work badly but can show it easily, so its core is learning a recurring workflow from one demonstration and rerunning it on the user's own machine. That makes it most interesting for solo operators with repetitive multi-app admin, and by default its storage and transcription stay local, with an option to keep inference on device as well. The caution is maturity: it is a free v0.2 public beta from a small startup, with no published pricing for later, no team or API layer, and documented integrations concentrated on Google Workspace. Try it on a low-stakes recurring task, keep confirmations on for anything that sends or deletes, and check which model each workflow uses before you point it at sensitive mail.

Who should use it

Freelancers, consultants, and solo founders on a Windows 11 PC or Apple Silicon Mac who repeat the same reporting, inbox, and expense chores every week, live in Gmail and Google Calendar, and want those chores learned once and run in the background, preferably with data kept on their own machine.

Who should skip it

Teams that need shared automations, an API, audit and admin controls, or contractual support; Linux, Intel Mac, and phone-first users; and anyone who cannot accept beta-stage reliability or unknown future pricing.

Strengths

  • Teaching by demonstration avoids writing prompts or building automation flows
  • Free during the public beta, with Windows 11 and Apple Silicon Mac installers
  • Local storage, on-device transcription, and an optional local model keep more data on your machine than cloud-only agents
  • Choice of cloud models through OpenRouter or your own provider account
  • Ready-made solopreneur workflows and an importable Skill Library shorten setup

Weaknesses

  • Early public beta (v0.2) with no published post-beta pricing
  • Individual-focused: no API, team features, or admin controls
  • Documented integrations are mostly Google Workspace
  • Apple Silicon only on Mac and no Linux support

Where IrisGo excels

Automating a freelancer's morning planning

The Daily Brief and Radar reads email, calendar, and to-dos, picks the three highest-priority actions, and updates them through the day, so the day's plan is ready without opening each app.

Handing off a recurring report

Demonstrating once how you pull figures from several documents into a weekly report lets IrisGo repeat the same steps on a schedule, which suits tasks that are too irregular to script but too repetitive to do by hand.

Keeping client email under control

Email Triage learns which senders and messages matter and flags urgent items and deadlines, and IrisGo can label, archive, or draft replies in Gmail when you ask.

IrisGo vs. competitors

IrisGo vs. Incredible

Incredible is also a Mac and Windows desktop agent that works in your own apps, browser, and files, but you hand it each task by voice or text and it is a paid product. IrisGo leans on learning a workflow from a demonstration and rerunning it on a schedule, and is free during its beta.

IrisGo vs. OpenHuman

OpenHuman is an open-source (GPL-3.0) desktop agent for macOS, Windows, and Linux that syncs many apps through OAuth into a readable local memory and acts with your approval. IrisGo is closed source and centers on demonstration-learned workflows and solopreneur routines, with Google Workspace as its main documented integration.

IrisGo vs. Claude Cowork

Claude Cowork comes with a paid Claude plan and executes goals you describe across your files and connected tools using Claude's models. IrisGo is a free-in-beta desktop app where you teach a recurring task by showing it, with a choice of local or cloud models.

Frequently asked questions

What does IrisGo do?

IrisGo is a desktop AI agent that learns workflows by watching you do them once, then repeats them on your computer on a schedule or trigger. It also produces a daily priority brief, triages email, summarizes meetings, and can file expense reports, working across your apps and your connected Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Calendar.

How much does IrisGo cost?

It is free during the public beta. IrisGo has not published pricing for after the beta. If you connect your own AI provider account instead of the default model routing, that provider bills you for usage.

Does IrisGo run locally or in the cloud?

Both. By default, context, conversation history, and transcripts are stored on your device, audio is transcribed locally, and IrisGo captures screenshots rather than continuous screen recordings; transcripts are processed in the cloud only if you turn on cloud sync, and opting into automatic task detection lets IrisGo periodically analyze screen contents and transcripts. Model inference runs on device if you choose a local model; if you choose a cloud model, the request and the context it needs are sent, by default through OpenRouter, to a provider such as OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google. Workflows are backed up to the cloud so they sync across machines.

Which computers does IrisGo support?

Windows 11 (64-bit) PCs and Apple Silicon Macs. There is no Linux, web, or mobile version. IrisGo is pitched for AI PCs with NPUs and GPUs, but no minimum hardware specification is published.

Is IrisGo safe to give access to my email?

IrisGo's privacy policy says Google OAuth tokens stay on your device, it keeps a rolling local copy of about the last 14 days of Gmail and Calendar, fetches Drive files only on demand, does not store your Google content on its servers, and does not let AI providers train on it. Its Responsible AI policy says automated actions need your explicit confirmation unless you pre-authorize them. With a cloud model selected, the email content a request needs does leave your device for that provider.

IrisGo vs Claude Cowork: what is the difference?

Claude Cowork is part of a paid Claude plan and takes a goal you describe, then works through it with Claude's models. IrisGo is a free-in-beta desktop app built around demonstration: you show it a recurring task once and it reruns it on your PC or Mac, with a choice of local or cloud models.

About IrisGo

IrisGo, built by Mountain View startup Irixion and backed by Andrew Ng's AI Fund, calls itself an AI operating system, but in practice it is a desktop app that sits across your other apps. Its distinguishing idea is Watch & Learn: instead of describing a task in a prompt or wiring a Zapier-style flow, you show IrisGo how you do it once, it captures the steps, the logic, and the intent, and it saves the result as a skill it can repeat with new inputs, triggered by a schedule or an event. A community Skill Library offers ready-made skills (email triage, report building, meeting notes, invoice processing, web scraping and more) that you import and then teach your own variation, and the app also supports OpenClaw skills and can run OpenClaw-style agent harnesses such as Hermes Agent in a native window on the Mac, so terminal-based agents become usable without a terminal. The October 2026 Solopreneurs launch highlights four starting workflows: a Daily Brief and Radar that surfaces the three highest-priority actions from email, calendar, and to-dos; Email Triage; Meeting Summary with action items; and Expense Report Filing. Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Calendar connect through Settings, with OAuth tokens kept on your device, and IrisGo can label, archive, draft, and send email or create and edit files and events when you ask. Processing is hybrid. By default, context and conversation history are kept on your device, audio is transcribed locally, and the app can run local models on the PC's NPU or GPU; when you pick a cloud model, requests go by default through OpenRouter to a provider such as OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google, or to your own provider account. The company also says IrisGo ships preinstalled on some PCs, including the Acer Swift 16 AI. The tradeoffs are maturity and scope: the current release is a v0.2 public beta, the Mac build is Apple Silicon only, no paid pricing has been published for after the beta, no API, team plan, or admin console is documented, and the documented app integrations are mainly Google Workspace, so it fits an individual's own computer far better than a team's shared automation.
