The IKARUS build log

Here's what I've been working on.

I'm Radu, the person building IKARUS. I started at the beginning of June. This is where I write about what changed, what took a few tries, and what's still on my desk.

Your AI, your choice

A free starting point, local models, and plans with AI included. Here's how I'm putting the pieces together.

A week spent checking the boring things

Permissions, connection labels and where data goes. A few things needed fixing, and I'm glad I checked.

The website is starting to feel like the app

The same warm background, navy details and quieter approach. Less explaining the design, more showing the product.

It can spot the things you keep doing

Repeated work can now become a suggestion. You still decide whether it's worth automating.

Do it once, then save yourself the repeat

The recorder turns actions you've taken with IKARUS into a workflow draft you can edit and keep.

A calmer place to work

The app now uses one visual language. Getting there also meant catching the controls that got lost along the way.

One way to run a workflow

Workflows can mix instructions, browser actions and saved knowledge. They now run the same way wherever you start them.

Somewhere to see what the assistant can do

Permissions, action history and a way to stop things. The Trust Center brings them together.

A home for the things you want to keep

Notes, files and collections now have a place in IKARUS, with connections you can browse.

Getting the browser connection working

Reading pages, filling forms and following tabs, with you deciding which tabs the assistant can use.

Why I'm building IKARUS

I want my computer to help with the work around my life, so there's more time for the life itself.
