IrisGo — desktop AI assistant from Andrew Ng’s AI Fund for automating office tasks

Friends, sharing an AI update: IrisGo is building a desktop assistant that learns workflows and automates them.

Key points: raised $2.8M from Andrew Ng’s AI Fund; macOS and Windows beta; Acer preinstall deal.

How it works: demonstrate a task once and the agent repeats it autonomously (demo placed a coffee order). Features a library of 'skills': email drafts, invoice processing, reports, summaries; plus an integrated code assistant.

Privacy: some processing on-device; heavy workloads move to the cloud only with explicit consent and end-to-end encryption.

Why it matters: cuts routine for knowledge workers, freeing time for conceptual work.

How do you assess the potential of desktop agents in your company?
