What's AI inside
Memory, tools and subagents in the terminal, desktop and chat apps.
Why it passes the AI inside test
Checked against the five tests on the criteria page.
The AI is the core, not a garnish.
Take the AI away and the product stops doing its main job.
It runs a real model.
Language, vision, speech or image models, on your device or in the cloud. Rules and if-this-then-that automation don’t count.
You can use it today.
Generally available or in an open public beta. Waitlists and demo videos wait.
You feel it directly.
The AI is in what you see and do, not a claim about back-office systems.
The maker is clear about it.
The product’s own site says what the AI does. A vague “AI-powered” sticker doesn’t qualify.
