An operating system for your work

Alden is a voice-first AI assistant that runs on your desktop and operates your computer and browser on your behalf, opening apps, filling out forms, managing files, handling email, running workflows.

What Alden actually does

Alden operates your computer and browser directly, with every action gated behind your approval.

Forms and files

Fills out forms and manages files on your computer, so the repetitive parts of your work get done without you doing them by hand.

Email and workflows

Handles email and runs multi-step workflows end to end, checking in with you at the points that matter.

Real browser automation

Browses and interacts with websites on your behalf.
It pauses and hands control back to you for CAPTCHAs, payments, and legal agreements rather than trying to bypass them.

Real-time voice

Wake-word activated, speech-to-speech conversation. You talk, and it talks back, the way a conversation actually works.

Extendable by design

Built as a modular skill system, so what Alden can do keeps growing over time without redesigning the assistant underneath it.

Trading account admin

Can handle account and workflow administration around a separate trading operation you already run, such as logging into broker or prop-firm sites and handling payout admin.
Alden does not place trades or make trading decisions.

Every one of these actions is gated by the Governance Engine below, so nothing sensitive happens without your say.

Every action asks permission before it acts

Alden doesn't just tell you what it's about to do. It routes every action through a Governance Engine first, and only proceeds once it has the permission it needs.

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.

Authentication

Site sign-ins follow per-site rules you set: some sites are always trusted, others always ask first.

  • Always
  • Ask Every Time
  • Never

Browser Automation

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.

  • Always
  • Ask Every Time
  • Never

System Actions

Sending an email or message, touching a file: anything that reaches outside the conversation follows the same rule, your call.

  • Always
  • Ask Every Time
  • Never

Alden also keeps a trusted Alden Workspace folder: files you deliberately hand to Alden become working content it can read and edit. Everything else on your machine stays off-limits unless you grant access.

Wake-word activated. Real-time speech-to-speech.

Say the wake word and Alden is listening.
Conversations run as real-time speech-to-speech, so the back-and-forth feels immediate.
Alden's voice is calm, precise, concise, and quietly confident, with a restrained dry humor: a distinct, original presence.

Built to extend, and keep your options open

Modular capabilities

Alden's abilities are built as modular skills, like calendar, files, browser-based tasks, and communication, with more added over time, without redesigning the assistant underneath them.

Multi-provider by design

Alden is architected so it isn't locked into a single AI vendor. A routing layer is built to switch between models. It's an architectural strength we're actively building toward.

It operates your browser too

Alden uses real browser automation to fill out forms, navigate sites, and carry out multi-step tasks on your behalf.
It handles the repetitive parts and pulls you in for anything sensitive.
Alden pauses and hands control back to you for CAPTCHAs, payment entry, and legal agreements rather than trying to solve or bypass them.

For example, if you already run a trading operation, Alden can take on the administrative work around it, such as logging into broker or prop-firm sites, starting or stopping a bot you control, and handling payout and evaluation-cycle admin. Alden does not make trading decisions and does not place trades.

Memory with boundaries

Alden is built around a Memory Operating System concept: separate working memory, project memory, and personal preference memory, with a governance layer over what's remembered and for how long.
It's still early.
The goal from day one has been to separate these kinds of memory and put you in control of what's kept.

A true native desktop app

Alden installs as a real, lightweight native app that lives in your menu bar.
It's available for macOS & Windows.
