Alden is under active development. This is a conceptual walkthrough of what to expect today; some details will change as the product matures.
Sign up with your name and email and you're in straight away. Alden is under active development, so expect new capabilities to keep arriving after you're set up.
Install it, sign in once, and it lives in your menu bar from then on.
The first real choice is how you interact in any given moment.
A floating, always-on voice presence. Say the wake word and Alden is listening, replying in real-time speech-to-speech.
A text view of the same conversation: sidebar, chat, files, and project history in one place.
Before Alden takes any consequential action, it checks your rules across three categories, Sign-ins, Browsing, and Actions. Each is set independently to Always, Ask Every Time, or Never.
From here it works like any assistant. Ask it to do something.
