Questions people ask
What is Aether (Alalay)?
It is a voice assistant for Windows that uses your computer for you, opening apps, clicking, typing, and saving files using your own apps and logins.
Can I use it right now?
Not yet. It currently runs on the company's own test laptop, and people can join a waitlist to be emailed when it's available to try.
Does it work on Mac?
No, it is Windows only for now, though a Mac version is planned for later.
How is it different from other AI assistants like ChatGPT or Copilot?
It works directly on your own Windows PC with your own apps rather than through cloud connectors, checks every step it takes, and reports honestly if something did not work.
Is my data private when using it?
It reads the buttons and fields on your screen instead of sending screenshots to the cloud, and it asks before doing anything risky; a fully local option where nothing leaves your PC is planned.
