IrisGo (Irixion) · IrisGo: Desktop AI Agent That Learns a Workflow From One Demonstration and Reruns It
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
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.
Public beta
Free
Note: IrisGo is free during the public beta. No paid plans or post-beta pricing have been published. Connecting your own AI provider account means that provider's usage charges apply.
Modalities
text, screenshots, audio transcription
Available models
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. 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.
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.

PaidIrisGo, 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.
IrisGo released IrisGo for Solopreneurs on Product Hunt, with Daily Brief and Radar, Email Triage, Meeting Summary, and Expense Report Filing as starting workflows, plus video walkthroughs of those workflows before you teach your own. It runs on Windows 11 (64-bit) and Apple Silicon Macs and is free during the beta.
IrisGo announced the public beta of its Watch & Learn technology, which learns a multi-step workflow from a single demonstration and repeats it automatically using a hybrid of on-device and cloud AI. The company also said IrisGo ships preinstalled on devices such as the Acer Swift 16 AI.
The Mac public beta added a native UI for running OpenClaw-style agent harnesses, demonstrated with Hermes Agent, so agents can use local tools, files, and scripts without a terminal setup.
IrisGo added support for OpenClaw skills, composable and shareable automation skills that run locally on your machine.
