# ego -- Full Documentation > A personal AI agent that lives across your browser, desktop, and phone. ego learns from your conversations, browsing, and work habits. You share the thought. It ships the work. Finished, polished, ready to use. ## Company ego is built by Citrolabs. Contact: hello@citrolabs.ai ## Product Overview ego is a personal AI agent -- not a chatbot, not an AI browser, but a full agent that works exclusively for you. It maintains long-term memory of your projects, preferences, and work patterns across sessions and devices. It runs multiple tasks in parallel 24/7 and delivers finished files to your computer. ### What Makes ego Different 1. **Persistent Memory**: ego remembers your projects, preferences, and work patterns across sessions. No re-explaining. "Do the usual" becomes a valid instruction. 2. **Cross-Device**: ego appears as a Dynamic Island on macOS, a floating AI assistant, or a full AI browser with your Chrome extensions and workflows. Check progress or start tasks through Telegram and other IM channels. 3. **Voice Input**: Hold fn, speak naturally. ego starts from what you say, what's on your screen, and what it already knows about you. 4. **Parallel Execution**: Run multiple tasks simultaneously. Research 10 competitors, draft a deck, analyze data -- all at once. Close your laptop; the work keeps moving 24/7. 5. **Self-Building Skills**: ego observes your behavior and turns it into reusable workflows automatically. It reviews its own work, notes what you changed, and applies those lessons next time. ## Key Capabilities ### Voice-First Interaction Hold fn and speak. ego combines your voice input with screen context and personal memory to start tasks immediately. No typing required for common workflows. ### AI Browser A full Chromium-based browser with Chrome extension support, bookmarks, and workflow carry-over. ego operates inside your real tabs and logged-in accounts to take action directly. ### Parallel Task Execution Multiple tasks run simultaneously in the cloud.
