Rethinking Computing
Agents are not only going to change how everyone interacts with computers. They’re also going to upend the software industry, bringing about the biggest revolution in computing since we went from typing commands to tapping on icons. - Bill Gates
Jan represents the evolution from computers you operate to computers that operate themselves with your commands:
- Turns your instructions into direct actions
- Works across applications without manual switching
- Learns your specific work patterns
- Completes repetitive tasks autonomously
Connection to Menlo’s Mission
Jan is the first step in Menlo’s vision of automating the future of work. We believe the future of work must be:
- User-controlled
- Privacy-preserving
- Open and inspectable
- Accessible to everyone
