Ara

Voice-first computer use for Mac. Lives in your notch.

Imagine Wispr Flow got hands. Ara is a voice-first AI agent that lives in the notch of your Mac and actually drives your computer for you. Speak a command and Ara moves the cursor, clicks through apps, fills out forms, and navigates the browser in the background, without taking over your screen. We reverse-engineered Codex-level computer use and reinvented the interface around it: ACP from day one, bring your own subscription.
