Iris is your personal AI assistant and your team of AI agents — in one app. Ask Iris anything, the way you'd text a friend: plan a trip, build a meal plan, draft the email you've been putting off, study for the test, pick a paint color from a photo. Then hand the recurring work to an agent and let it run. WHAT YOUR AGENTS DO • Inbox on autopilot — an agent reads, drafts, and prioritizes your email so you don't have to. • Daily briefing — wake up to a personal summary of your calendar, inbox, and what matters today. • Customer support, 24/7 — an agent answers questions using your own business knowledge. • Routines — schedule any task to run hourly, daily, or weekly, and read the results in chat. • Connections — Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive, Notion, Slack, GitHub and more. WHAT IRIS DOES FOR YOU • Answers, ideas, and plans in seconds — recipes, itineraries, lesson plans, gift ideas, grocery lists. • Photos in, answers out — send a picture of your fridge, your room, or your outfit and get a plan. • Writing help — emails, posts, speeches, study guides, in your voice. • Images — generate pictures, color palettes, mockups, and staging ideas. BUILT TO BE TRUSTED • Set up an agent in under two minutes. No code, no prompt engineering. • Every agent reports back in chat; you see what it did and when. • Push notifications only when an agent needs you. • Your conversations stay yours.

Iris's advantage is monetization model (freemium vs subscription). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
