IrisGo, a startup backed by Andrew Ng, looks to become the AI desktop buddy you never knew you needed

IrisGo, a startup led by former Apple engineer Jeffrey Lai and backed by Andrew Ng’s AI Fund, is developing a "proactive" desktop AI agent. The software learns from a user's daily habits to automate repetitive clerical tasks like invoicing, email drafting, and report building. By leveraging a hybrid architecture that prioritizes on-device processing for privacy, the company aims to help knowledge workers focus on high-level conceptual tasks while the AI handles background workflows. With recent investments from Nvidia and Google, and a pre-installation deal with Acer, IrisGo is positioning itself as a vital tool for the modern digital workspace.
