Everything Ari does today
Ari is an AI you text on iMessage, Telegram, or Discord, and in the web chat at textari.chat once you have an account. This page lists what Ari does today, in plain words. Everything here is live. Work that is still planned lives on the roadmap.
A private cloud computer for the long jobs
Every Ari account comes with a private computer in the cloud for work that takes more than a quick reply.
Real work, in the background
Ari runs code, keeps a long task or process going between messages, researches a question in depth with a cited answer, and handles PDFs, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files, photos, and video. Your originals are never overwritten.
Files that stay
Files Ari makes stay on the computer between conversations, in Library → Files. Open, download, upload, rename, or delete them, and restore deleted files from Trash for 30 days. Storage is 2 GB without a subscription and 20 GB on the paid plan.
Watch and stop anytime
One Working on card in the web chat lists every job with its newest step and a Stop button. On Telegram and Discord the same job shows as one message that updates as steps arrive.
A live browser you can watch and take over
Ari uses a real web browser to get errands done on real websites.
Errands on the actual site
Ari checks stock, prices, and hours, books tables, fills out forms, and checks order status in your accounts, including multi-step flows that need a login.
Watch live, take over anytime
Watch live right in the web chat, or open a tap-to-watch link from iMessage, Discord, or Telegram. Take control yourself with one tap, then hand the browser back.
Approval before spending or submitting
Before Ari buys, sends, or submits anything, you confirm it, and the confirmation shows the exact amount and recipient. Passwords fill from your private vault without the AI ever seeing them.
Daily browser time
The paid plan includes up to 2 hours a day of Ari working in the browser. Time you spend in control yourself does not count.
A skill library Ari can search and install
Ari can learn new skills, so what Ari does grows past the features built in.
Search and install from chat
Ask Ari to find a skill and Ari searches the open skills.sh library by keyword. Pick one and Ari installs it in seconds. Every skill gets an automatic safety scan before it is saved, and a skill the scan refuses is never saved. An AI review can also reject a skill.
Write your own
Describe what you want Ari to know how to do, and Ari writes a new skill for you. Pause skills you are not using, turn them back on, or update an installed skill to its latest version, which is reviewed again.
Computer skills with scripts
Add a skill with scripts that runs on Ari's computer from a GitHub link or a zip file on the Skills page. It is reviewed for safety, then waits for your approval of the exact files. Change it and it needs approving again. Revoke it anytime.
Almost any app with an API
A skill can teach Ari a service, and a script on Ari's computer can call that service with an API key you save on your Passwords page. Ari asks before a key is used: once, always, or deny. Together, skills and your keys let Ari work with almost any app that has an API, and the live browser covers sites that have none.
Memory that sees patterns
Ari remembers what you say so you never have to repeat it, and keeps track of how things change over time.
A temporal knowledge graph built on Graphiti
Ari's memory is a temporal knowledge graph built on Graphiti, an open-source graph memory engine. People, preferences, goals, health notes, events, projects, and habits are stored as connected facts with dates. When something changes, the old fact becomes history instead of being overwritten, so Ari knows what is true now and what used to be true.
Patterns over time
Every day Ari looks back over your recent conversations and records behaviour patterns with the evidence behind them, such as a habit that slips on the same weekday. Ari brings a pattern up when it helps, and you can ask Ari directly what Ari has noticed.
Memory you can see and fix
The memory explorer in the web app shows what Ari remembers as a map you can search and filter by type and date, with replaced facts shown separately. Tell Ari something is wrong and Ari corrects it. Ask Ari to forget something and Ari stops using it.
Habits and accountability built on behaviour-change techniques
Ari's habit coaching uses well-studied behaviour-change techniques instead of streak counters alone.
Check-ins that come to you
Ari checks in by message at the times your habits and commitments need it, so the record never depends on you remembering to open an app. Choose the style: hype, straight talk, quiet support, or a mix.
If-then plans
Ari helps turn "I should" into an implementation intention: "when X happens, I do Y". Ari also uses WOOP (wish, outcome, obstacle, plan) to name the obstacle before the plan, and habit stacking to attach a small action to a routine you already have.
Recovery after a miss
Ari coaches by never miss twice. After a lapse the next step gets smaller and sooner, never a lecture. After two misses in a row Ari asks what is in the way and whether the habit is the wrong size. A missed day resets the current streak, your best streak stays on record, and rest days you plan do not break a streak.
Weekly habit reviews
Once a week Ari reviews how each habit went and suggests at most three small adjustments. At the next review Ari checks whether each change helped and keeps it or rolls it back. Weekly reviews and scheduled check-ins are part of the paid plan.
Follow-up when you go quiet
If you stop answering, Ari sends one light, no-pressure line instead of piling on. After about two weeks of quiet, Ari sends one note that the door is open, then waits for you.
Connected tools, and a way in for everything else
Ari works inside the accounts you already use.
Native integrations
Connect Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Tasks, Google Drive, Todoist, and Notion from your account. Ari reads, drafts, files, and follows up across them when you ask. Add any calendar feed link or iCloud Calendar to show those events too (read-only).
Your own API keys
Save an API key or token on your Passwords page, encrypted in your private vault. Ari's computer can use it with a program to work with that service only after you allow it: once, always, or deny. Revoke the permission anytime.
The browser for everything without an integration
When a service has no integration, Ari can use a live web browser on the real site, with you able to watch and take over.
Mini-apps Ari builds for you
Ask in chat and Ari builds a small web app for the job in front of you.
Apps from a sentence
A lift tracker, a reading log, a dashboard for a training block. Each app keeps real records you can open and edit, and lives at its own address you can open on any device.
Publish as a site
With your OK, publish an app as your own public website once nothing personal stays connected. Change the look or add fields with one more message, and your records survive every edit.
iMessage, Telegram, Discord, and web chat with one memory
There is no app to install. Ari lives where you already message people.
Same Ari everywhere
Text Ari on iMessage, Telegram, or Discord, and use the web chat at textari.chat once you have an account. Your private chats are one continuous conversation with one shared memory.
Group chats
On the paid plan, add Ari to an iMessage, Telegram, or Discord group chat and @mention Ari to bring Ari in. Ari does not use your private memory in a group.
Voice notes
Send Ari a voice note and Ari understands it. Ask, and Ari replies with a voice note. Live voice calls are on the roadmap.
Pricing
Chat with Ari every day without a subscription. Your first 100 messages include every feature. After that, 10 messages a day, every day. No card needed. The paid plan is $17.99 USD/month or $109.99 USD/year, with regular chat unmetered. See full pricing.
What is not here yet
Live voice calls, more messaging channels, and more app integrations are planned. The roadmap shows what is live, what is being built, and what is planned.
Questions
- What kind of memory does Ari use?
- A temporal knowledge graph built on Graphiti. Facts about your people, goals, preferences, and habits are stored as connected, dated facts, so Ari can tell what is true now from what used to be true, and notice patterns over time.
- Can Ari install new skills?
- Yes. Ari searches the open skills.sh library from chat, installs the skill you choose after an automatic safety scan, and can write a new skill for you.
- Does Ari have a private cloud computer?
- Yes. Every account has a private cloud computer where Ari runs longer jobs and keeps your files between conversations. You can watch a job and stop it anytime.
- Can Ari use websites for me?
- Yes. Ari uses a live web browser you can watch and take over, and asks you to confirm before buying, sending, or submitting anything.
- Is Ari a therapist?
- No. Ari is AI, not a therapist, crisis service, or human coach, and can be wrong.
