Alden is a voice and chat AI assistant powered by a quantized 20-billion-parameter AI model.
A real, lightweight native app on your desktop, it operates your computer and browser on your behalf: opening apps, filling out forms, managing files, handling email and running workflows.
Alden operates your computer and browser directly, with every action gated behind your approval.
Completes forms and handles files on your computer, so the repetitive parts of your work get done without you doing them by hand.
Reads and edits what's in your trusted Workspace folder.
Everything else on your machine stays off-limits unless you grant access.
Works through email and carries multi-step tasks from start to finish, checking in with you at the points that matter.
Anything that leaves the conversation, sending a message or touching a file, follows the rule you set for it: run every time, ask first, or never.
Navigates and interacts with websites on your behalf, gathers what you need from several pages at once, and completes payments with your verbal confirmation.
Alden never tries to solve or bypass them.
It notifies you instantly with the challenge already in focus, and picks the task back up exactly where it stopped once you're through.
Terms, consent screens, and anything you'd be bound by are handed back for you to read and accept yourself.
Wake-word activated, speech-to-speech conversation.
You talk, and it talks back, the way a conversation actually works.
The AI model runs on your own computer by default, so what you say is processed on your device.
Built as a modular skill system, with skills like calendar, files, browser-based tasks and communication, so what Alden can do keeps growing without redesigning the assistant underneath it.
Handles the sign-ins, forms, and routine account upkeep that sit around whatever you already do, so the administrative tail of a task stops being yours.
Alden carries out the process you've asked for.
It doesn't make judgement calls on your behalf, financial or otherwise.
Every action goes through the Governance Engine first.
Alden tells you what it's about to do, and only acts once it's allowed.
Capability
The thing Alden wants to do, like sending an email or filling a form.
Governance Engine
Checks the request against your permission rules before anything runs.
Approved?
Your Always, Ask Every Time, or Never setting decides the outcome.
Execute, or ask first
It runs immediately, or pauses and waits for your explicit approval.
Site sign-ins follow per-site rules you set: some sites are always trusted, others always ask first.
Ordinary clicking and typing you asked for doesn't interrupt you.
Only genuinely risky sub-actions, like a file upload or download, checkout, or purchase, trigger an approval prompt.
Sending an email or message, touching a file: anything that reaches outside the conversation follows the same rule, your call.
