Yesterday, we emerged out of stealth to announce Jo, an open source, local, private, AI assistant. You can get work done with your voice, from anywhere. Even while doing yoga. I've used Jo to get work done during yoga sessions countless times.

Today, we're announcing Jo. Now, you can get your work done through voice. Jo an open source, local, private, AI assistant. Jo clears your inbox, schedules meetings, and handles follow-ups, all while your phone stays in your pocket. I started using Jo when I stopped enjoying fundraising. Zoom calls are awkward. Where do you look? How do you smile? How do you prevent yourself from looking at you? One day, my friend suggested I do fundraising calls over the phone, and I never looked back. That's where the idea for Jo came about. A tool where you can get your work done with voice. I've used Jo to do work on a run, on a jog, commuting, doing yoga, cooking, folding laundry, and every situation in between. And yes, it's local, secure, and private. We don't see any of your data or the tool calls themselves. And if you select local-first models, none of the data leaves your phone. We spent the last couple of months building and refining, testing with users and iterating on Jo, and we would love you to try it out. We are nowhere near perfect, but we hope we're good enough, fast enough, local enough, and private enough to spark some inspiration. You can either download the app, or you can directly load it onto your phone. Both are linked below. We've added a skill file inside of our repo to let Claude or ChatGPT know how best to install it. Try it out, push it to its limits, and let me know what you think.
