IrisGoReview: a morning routine you only demonstrate once
IrisGo is a desktop assistant for people who run a business on their own. At 8 every morning it reads your calendar and unread email and sends you a short brief in chat. In the demo, that's three priorities, two client calls, and an Adobe invoice due today. From there it triages your inbox and picks up the rest of the day's admin. The headline trick is Watch & Learn: you do a task once while IrisGo watches, and after that it can repeat the steps for you.
It runs on Windows 11 (64-bit) and Apple Silicon Macs. There's no version for Intel Macs or phones. The beta is free and updates itself, and IrisGo only sees the data and workflows you give it permission to see. The company is backed by Andrew Ng's AI Fund, but it hasn't said what IrisGo will cost once the beta ends. Don't confuse it with Iris, the agent you text from iMessage.

TMRW VERDICT
Worth a try if every morning looks the same
by TMRW Team·Oct 25, 2026
If you freelance or run a one-person business, you probably start every day the same way: calendar, inbox, a mental list of who owes you what. IrisGo wants to do that part for you and hand you the summary at 8. That's a more grounded pitch than most "AI operating system" talk, and the brief in its demo, two calls and an invoice due, is exactly what you need to know before your first coffee.
Watch & Learn is the bigger bet. Teaching an assistant by doing a task once is far easier than building an automation from scratch, if it holds up. Hark is the better fit if you want an agent that goes off and runs errands on the web. screenpipe makes more sense if all you want is a searchable memory of your screen.
Go in with your eyes open. The app needs broad access to your computer to be useful, so read the permissions before you install, and don't teach it anything you wouldn't want repeated unsupervised. It's free now, but nobody has said what it'll cost later. Start with the morning brief. You already know what it should say, so within a week you'll know whether it's earning its spot on your desktop.
