Iris vs ChatGPT
ChatGPT is a great place to think out loud. Iris is built for the step after that: doing the thing, in your own mail, calendar, messages and devices, with your okay before anything that counts.
Built to act, not only to answer
Iris reads your inbox, drafts replies, finds a time that works and books it. It sends nothing until you approve it. The point is not a better answer, it is one less thing on your list.
It lives on your devices
The same Iris runs on your iPhone, in a small pill on your Mac, on your tv and in Chrome. It remembers you across all of them, with one memory and one name.
Your okay, with Face ID
Before Iris pays, sends or signs in, it asks on the device closest to you. One tap with Face ID or Touch ID and it goes ahead. Your passwords stay in a vault that Iris itself never sees.
A computer of its own
Every household gets its own sealed-off assistant, hosted in Europe and shared with no one. Everything it does is written to a log you can read.
Be among the first
First invites go out this winter. iPhone first, Android soon after.
Questions
Is Iris built on ChatGPT?
Iris is its own product, made by Woodst B.V. in the Netherlands. It uses large language models to understand and write, and adds the parts that let it act safely: your accounts, a vault, approvals and a log.
Can I use both?
Yes. Keep a chat app for brainstorming, and let Iris handle the errands that follow.
What does Iris cost?
There is a free plan. Start is 20 euros a month, Pro 40 and Max 180, per person, with every device included.
