Ara
The voice-to-text AI for your Mac — lives in your notch.

Ara is a macOS AI assistant that lives in the Mac notch and lets users control their computer using voice commands. It acts as a voice-to-text AI agent capable of driving the computer on behalf of the user. The product positions itself as turning a Mac into an AI supercomputer through natural voice interaction.
Ara sits in the Mac notch and listens for voice commands, then uses AI to interpret and execute actions on the computer on the user's behalf.
