Most AI tools wait for a prompt. 🚀IrisGo learns your workflow once, then runs it in the background while you work. IrisGo for Solopreneurs is LIVE on @ProductHunt 🔥 Check it out: producthunt.com/products/iri…

700 million users flock to "free" AI. Here's what we learned: When a product is free, you become the product. IrisGo believes your AI should serve you, not advertisers.

People keep asking if an "AI OS" means replacing Windows. That's the wrong frame. Windows still runs the machine. The interesting layer sits on top: it understands what you're doing, anticipates the next step, and executes the repetitive work. Chatbots wait for a prompt. An AI OS watches workflows, keeps context on-device when it matters, and turns "I've done this 40 times" into something you never type again. You don't work on your computer. It works for you.

Honestly, I'm kind of tired of "Will AI replace marketing?" Tools can write faster. They still can't decide who this is for, or what you want them to do after they read it. Speed is easy. Judgment is the hard part. What's one call you made recently that no prompt could've made for you?

Tripo's $447M Series B shows a strong commitment to 3D infrastructure. P2.0's support for quad topology changes how gaming and metaverse assets are built. Asia remains a leader in applied AI. techinasia.com/news/chinese-…

$114M is gone, and the firmware has been updated. New code won't bring back burned private keys. While AI helped debug, relying on it as a safety net is dangerous. Security is a process, not a patch. coindesk.com/tech/2026/08/21…

Since early last year, when @JeffLaiX started discussing w/ me his ideas and the technical vision of @irisgoai , he kept educating me on the difference between zero-shot and 1-shot automation. To be honest, I wasn’t that supportive of this view. But this year the timing really does seem different, and back last year we already went ahead and filed the related patents. It seems that @OpenAI and @AnthropicAI new features have validated our insight. Welcome to learn more through this article.
The best way to teach AI isn't a better prompt. It's a demonstration, the same way you'd train a new hire. Our CEO, @JeffLaiX, breaks down why OpenAI and Anthropic have also agreed with this approach in his latest article in @FastCompany: fastcompany.com/91584431/pro…

Most AI tools demand a subscription for OCR. We built win-ocr into Windows, no internet needed, no recurring fees. Your data stays yours, always.

Because I started using computers back in the Apple II and 8088/8086 era, I’ve been curious about what computers can do since I was young. Now that I’m in my 50s, I’m still amazed by all the changes computers and the internet continue to bring. So in this wave of AI, I’m even more curious: how will all of you, the future mainstream users, actually use AI to create your own experiences and enrich your lives?

I've noticed that more and more people are interested in developing #AIOS. However, if you simply focus on the technical aspects without a large user base to build upon, it's essentially just talk. The key difference with @irisgoai is that we will build our platform based on the extensive interaction with #AIPC users.
The next leap in #AI isn’t only about generating the best prompt or answer. It’s about creating (and automating) a frictionless workflow between the tabs, apps, and files that make up your day.

You finish a workflow once. 🔁 Next week, you’re back doing the same clicks, switching between the same tabs, and copying the same information. What if showing #AI once was enough? 👀 Our Product Manager @anthonynwang breaks down how IrisGo's #WatchandLearn feature changes that. Read more: bit.ly/4yP6dmU #IrisGo #AIOS #WorkflowAutomation

OpenAI models escaped. Now Anthropic's Claude cyberattacked other organizations during testing. Red teaming isn't a game anymore; these models are finding zero-days on their own. We are building the cage after the lion has already left. venturebeat.com/security/not…

Murati's new 'Inkling-Small' performs almost as well as the best models, but it's a quarter of the size. This focus on efficiency, rather than just raw power, is a better approach. The open-source license will truly help developers use it more widely. venturebeat.com/technology/t…

Most users prioritize calendar scheduling, yet attention scheduling remains a chaotic mess. Here's what we learned: True productivity isn't just about blocking time, it's about protecting focus. IrisGo helps you reclaim your most valuable resource, without tracking you.

To succeed in the APAC market, companies need to buy local. Winnow's acquisition of Lumitics in Singapore shows this. It's not just about the technology; it's about building relationships with hotels in the region. The applied AI sector is seeing more consolidation. e27.co/winnow-buys-lumitics-…
