What is Iris?

IRIS is a macOS AI assistant designed to streamline scheduling and cross‑app coordination. The app offers an intelligent calendar that understands natural‑language prompts and automatically fills in meeting details, buffer times, and venue suggestions.

It operates as a floating narrow column that overlays any active application, allowing the assistant to identify context and execute actions without interrupting workflow. Iris learns user preferences over time, adjusting meeting durations, preferred locations, and buffer intervals to match typical patterns.

Additional features include an enhanced screenshot tool and a redesigned onboarding experience to reduce setup time. The tool is available in beta, encouraging early testers to contribute feedback while the platform expands to include email, task, and note integration.
