Your AI. Your context. Your control. Every AI assistant starts each conversation knowing nothing about you. ARIA fixes that. Load your voice, your standards, your projects and your working style into every session โ€” and get answers that fit you from the first message, not the fifth. WHY ARIA IS DIFFERENT Most AI apps are a chat box with a memory bolted on. ARIA treats context as something you own and organise: structured, reusable, and yours to control. You decide what the model sees, when, and for which task. CONTEXT THAT CARRIES OVER โ€ข Build reusable context โ€” your writing voice, your tech stack, your research focus, your client's brand โ€ข Load exactly what a conversation needs, instead of re-explaining yourself every time โ€ข Group and layer context so a project inherits what it should and nothing it shouldn't BRING YOUR OWN MODELS โ€ข Connect multiple providers and pick the right model per task โ€ข Switch models mid-conversation without losing the thread โ€ข Keep your own API keys โ€” your relationship with your provider stays yours WORKFLOWS THAT DO THE WORK โ€ข Build multi-step workflows that research, draft, transform and deliver โ€ข Put an approval gate anywhere a human should decide before anything happens โ€ข Schedule workflows to run on their own, and hear about it when they finish โ€ข Deliver results to chat, a saved document, email, a webhook โ€” or a push notification NOTIFICATIONS THAT RESPECT YOUR ATTENTION โ€ข Know the moment a workflow finishes or needs your approval, even with ARIA closed โ€ข Review or reject an approval straight from the notification โ€ข Choose which notifications you get, and set quiet hours โ€ข Nothing is lost if your phone misses one โ€” it's waiting in the app TALK TO IT โ€ข A voice conversation mode built for phone and iPad โ€ข Dictate instead of typing, with on-device speech recognition CONNECTED, WITH REVIEW โ€ข Email and calendar connections, with your approval required before anything is sent, changed or deleted โ€ข Save email as PDF, pull documents in as context SECURITY AND CONTROL โ€ข Credentials encrypted at rest โ€ข Sign in with Apple, Google or Microsoft โ€ข Your context is yours โ€” organised, inspectable, and deletable Whether you're a developer who wants idiomatic suggestions, a writer who wants copy in their own voice, or an analyst who's tired of explaining the basics โ€” ARIA gives the model the picture it's been missing. Start free. No credit card required. Built on your own positioning โ€” "Your AI. Your context. Your control." and the duct-tape framing from the one-pager โ€” but written for an individual App Store buyer rather than an enterprise reader. Terms of Use: https://ariaconnector.com/terms
