About PAI, a Linux
It uses your mail, calendar, browser and files just like you do, and handles the busywork end to end. It learns how you work, remembers what matters, and stays one step ahead. Because Ambiance remembers your context and lives in the apps you already use, it helps without being told everything twice. It shows you what it found, asks before it sends or changes anything, and you keep the final say. Ambiance doesn't just describe what to do, it does it.
About Trace
A macOS menu-bar app that turns any conversation into a clean markdown transcript, with an optional on-device summary. Runs a local speech model entirely on your Mac, in dozens of languages. The moment is pinned to your transcript at the exact timestamp. Trace provides you with clear markdown transcripts and summaries that you can use anywhere. Either copy the markdown from Trace directly or have it place the file anywhere in your filesystem. Trace can also send files directly to Obsidian, Bear, Drafts or Things with a button press.
