The day, laid out.
Before the first coffee, a short note: the ten o’clock call, Friday’s billing run, and rain from six. Take a jacket. Jake asked for it once; now it’s there every morning.
Ada is a new operating system for your PC, with help built into every part of it. Say what you need, and watch it get done in your own apps, with you in charge of every step.
The film
Ten contracts, a billing run and a promise to be home for dinner. A day with Ada, in two and a half minutes.
A day with Ada
Jake’s day from the film, captured on Ada itself. No mock-ups: every screen here is the real desktop and its real apps.
Before the first coffee, a short note: the ten o’clock call, Friday’s billing run, and rain from six. Take a jacket. Jake asked for it once; now it’s there every morning.
“Which of these has a non-compete longer than a year?” Ada reads all ten and answers with the clause and the page. The other eight are fine.
“Flag every client we haven’t billed since August.” Then, without leaving the spreadsheet: “Tell Nora I’ll be home by seven, and I’m bringing dumplings.” Sent from his phone, in his words.
Sort 214 scanned pages. Draft the call summary. Fill in the intake form in an old Windows app. Book Thursday’s room. Ada works through the list while Jake is out, and waits for his OK on anything that matters.
“Make a little film from our Lisbon photos, for Nora.” Ada makes the first cut. Jake makes it his.
While you work
Give Ada a job that takes clicks in real apps. The windows she works in can sit on a desktop of her own, so your mouse, keyboard and screen stay with you.
Your desktop. You carry on in Notes.
Ada’s desktop, out of view. She works in Files and the browser.
The windows she works in can sit out of view, and they never take your keyboard.
The island shows the window she’s in, live, with her cursor. Watch shows every window at once.
Ask again while she works. Each request runs on its own, side by side.
Click or type in a window she’s using and she pauses. Take over, or tell her what to change.
Your phone, too
Plug your iPhone or Android phone in once, and from then on Ada can use it over Wi‑Fi. Ask her to send a text, change a setting or find something, and watch the phone’s screen in her card while she works.
The whole computer
Ada isn’t an app on top of something else. It’s the desktop, the everyday apps and everything underneath, designed to feel like one thing.
As you type, a grey suggestion finishes the sentence the way you would. It learns from your writing, on your PC.
Hold a key and talk into any text box. Your words appear as you speak, transcribed on your PC.
“Every weekday at 7:30, brief me.” Say it once, and it happens.
In Ada’s browser, she signs you in from your saved logins without ever seeing a password.
Pair a cloud server or a GPU box. Its files show up in Files, and its terminal opens signed in.
Run Claude Code, Codex and Ada on several tasks at once, each in its own copy of your project. You review before anything merges.
Peace of mind
Ada asks before anything that matters, and shows every step while she works.
Use the ChatGPT or Claude plan you already pay for, or bring your own keys.
Install Ada from Windows and it sits alongside. Pick which to start, or remove Ada later.
Many Windows programs open right on Ada, each in a tidy space of its own.
Ada updates quietly. If a new version ever misbehaves, she goes back to the last good one on her own.
Ada sees only the folders and apps you let her, and keeps what she remembers on your computer.
Why today
“It can do whatever we know how to order it to perform.”
She wrote that in the notes that held what’s often called the first computer program, for a machine that was never built.
For the 183 years since, knowing how to order it has been the hard part. With Ada, you just say what you need. So today, on Ada Lovelace Day, we’re opening the waitlist.
We’re letting people in a few at a time. Join the waitlist, and we’ll write when it’s your turn.
You’re on the list.
We’ll write to when it’s your turn.
While you’re here: what do you use today?
What would you hand off to Ada first?
