Limitless (formerly Rewind) has carved out a niche as a 'proactive AI' that records your screen and audio to help you remember every detail of your digital life. It is a powerful tool for those who spend their days in back-to-back meetings and need a searchable history of their conversations. However, as the AI agent space evolves, many users are looking for tools that move beyond passive memory and toward active task execution.
First, what is Limitless?
Best for: Professionals who attend 10+ meetings a week and need a perfect record of what was said and decided.
Strengths
- Comprehensive recording of meetings and system audio
- Excellent search functionality for past digital interactions
- Automated meeting summaries and follow-up drafts
- Hardware integration with the Limitless Pendant for physical-world capture

Iris: The Agent That Replicates Your Judgment
Iris takes a different approach to personal AI. Instead of just recording what you do, Iris observes how you do it. By connecting to your email and calendar, Iris learns your specific patterns—how you reply to colleagues, how you prioritize urgent tasks, and how you manage your schedule. It builds a personal knowledge graph that allows it to pre-fill actions. You don't have to search through a transcript to find a task; Iris presents the completed action to you, and you simply swipe right to hand it off to your agent.
- Models real behavior to replicate judgment, not just record data
- Uses a personal knowledge graph to understand context across accounts
- Swipe-to-delegate interface for rapid task approval
- Focuses on proactive execution rather than passive memory retrieval

Frequently asked questions
Does Iris record my screen like Limitless?
No. Iris connects to your accounts via API to understand your workflows and build a knowledge graph, rather than recording your screen or audio continuously.
Can Iris send emails for me?
Iris prepares drafts and actions based on your past behavior. It only sends or executes an action once you have reviewed it and swiped to hand it off.
