Hello,
I’m Iris.

Your personal guide to a team of AI specialists. On your Mac.

macOS only. M1 and later. Best on M4 and M5.

A team in a box.

Personal guide.

Iris knows you, your projects, your priorities. She’s the front door to the team.

Scout sizes the market and sells it. Scotty keeps your Mac humming. Dexter handles the rest. Free forever, no token counter, fully on-device.

Dozens

Free cloud models, out of the box.

Hundreds more available when you bring your own keys. Your keys, your call.

Conversations remembered.

Across sessions. Across projects. Across buddies. Across years. Your team picks up exactly where you left off.

See it in action.

She remembers.

Yesterday’s conversation. Last week’s project. The brisket experiment from a month ago. Iris doesn’t start from scratch — she starts from where you left off.

Across sessions. Across buddies. Across years.

A team. Not a chat window.

Five ways for your buddies to collaborate. Sequential handoffs, parallel responses, group discussion, pod execution, smart triage. The team works the way the work needs to be worked.

Sequential · Parallel · Discussion · Pod · Handoff
Five orchestration modes: Sequential, Parallel, Discussion, Pod, Handoff

Your keys. Your call.

Connect your own Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Perplexity, xAI, and Cerebras accounts. Or stick with the local team — free forever, fully on-device. The architecture is yours to configure.

No middleman. No vendor lock-in.

Tuned to your Mac.

Scotty, IdeaPlace’s Chief Engineer, recognizes your hardware — M-series chip, RAM, disk space — and recommends the right local model for your machine. No guesswork. No bloat. The right team for the right Mac.

M1, M2, M3, M4, M5 — tuned, every time.

Heads up

IdeaPlace is launching for macOS on Apple silicon. It runs on M1 through M5, but the local AI buddies need real horsepower — we recommend M4 or M5 for the best experience. M1–M3 owners can still join the waitlist; we’ll be transparent about performance.

Be the first to say hello.

Join the waitlist

Save your spot.

We’ll email you a confirmation link, then notify you the moment IdeaPlace is ready to download.
