What is IrisGo?

IrisGo is a desktop app that pitches itself as an AI operating system for solopreneurs. Instead of waiting for prompts, it watches how you work: show it a recurring task once — triaging the morning inbox, turning calls into action items, keeping track of to-dos — and its Watch & Learn feature turns the demonstration into a reusable workflow that runs with your approval.

Day to day it ships the things solo founders actually drown in: a daily brief pulled from email, calendar, and to-dos; email triage that separates the urgent from the deferrable; a continuously updated to-do radar; and meeting summaries with action items added automatically. Workflows and sensitive data stay on your device, with cloud processing only when you explicitly authorize it and then end-to-end encrypted. Backed by Andrew Ng's AI Fund, it took #1 Product of the Day on Product Hunt on October 7, 2026 — and it is free while in beta.

Key Features

  • Watch & Learn: demonstrate a recurring task once and IrisGo drafts a reusable automation from it.
  • Daily brief: top priorities assembled each morning from email, calendar, and to-dos.
  • Email triage: sorts what needs an urgent reply from what can wait.
  • To-do radar: one list, continuously updated as you finish tasks.
  • Meeting summaries: turns calls into notes with action items added automatically.

Pros

  • Free during beta with a genuinely novel idea — it learns by observation, not by prompting.
  • On-device-first design keeps your workflows and sensitive data on your own machine.
  • Built for the real admin burden of solopreneurs: inbox, meetings, to-dos, and briefs.

Cons

  • Still a public beta — expect rough edges and behavior that changes between updates.
  • Only Windows 11 and Apple Silicon Macs are supported so far.
  • An app that watches your work raises privacy questions; trust rests on its consent and on-device claims.

Pricing

  • Model: Free
  • Free during the public beta (Windows 11 64-bit and Apple Silicon Macs).
