IrisGo: Andrew Ng-Backed AI Desktop Companion Learns Workflows Automatically — Acer Pre-Install Deal

TechCrunch·medium signal

IrisGo, founded by former Apple Siri engineer Jeffrey Lai and backed by a $2.8M seed from Andrew Ng's AI Fund, launched beta apps for macOS and Windows. The tool watches users' desktop activity and learns to automate workflows with no repeat instructions — essentially 'show once, automate forever.' It processes data on-device for privacy and ships with a built-in skills library for email, invoices, reports, and document summarization. IrisGo struck a pre-install deal with Acer for new devices.
