> 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.

## Key Features

- **Voice Input**: Hold fn, speak naturally. ego starts from what you say, what is on your screen, and what it already knows about you. Turning a thought into a finished task the moment it occurs to you.
- **Cross-Device**: ego appears as a Dynamic Island, a floating AI assistant, or a full AI browser with your workflows and Chrome extensions. You can also check progress or start new tasks through Telegram and other IM channels.
- **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. You get finished docs, decks, and spreadsheets on your computer.
- **Persistent Memory**: ego learns from your conversations, browsing, desktop activity, and past corrections. It turns know-how into skills, so over time, "do the usual" is all it needs.
