# AYO

> AYO is a private desktop AI by AYO Systems. Say AYO and it’s already listening — it sees your screen, hears what you said, and does the task. Nothing saved.

AYO (also called "Hey AYO") is the flagship product of **AYO Systems Technology LLC**. The website is **https://heyayo.com**. AYO is currently in **early access** — free to join the waitlist; no public download yet.

## What AYO is

AYO is a private desktop AI companion built by AYO Systems. It runs natively on Windows 10 and 11, wakes when you say "AYO," sees what is on your screen with your permission, and runs real tasks for you — search, edit files, run commands, summarize. AYO is local-first by design: screenshots are never saved, audio is never stored, and only the question you deliberately send leaves your machine.

## What AYO can do

- **Wake word — "AYO"** — Call its name from any app. AYO is already listening locally at about 1% CPU, with no audio leaving your machine.
- **Voice conversation** — Speak naturally. Hear AYO back in a warm human voice in under two seconds.
- **Screen awareness** — AYO sees what you see, with your permission. No screenshots are saved, ever.
- **Proactive help** — Stuck on the same error for five minutes? AYO speaks first — unprompted, but never in your way.
- **Floating overlay** — A glass window that appears on top of any app. Dismiss it with a word or a hotkey.
- **Agent tasks** — Ask AYO to search the web, edit files, run commands, summarize a document, or automate a flow. AYO does the task, not just the answer.
- **Gaming mode** — When you start a game, AYO goes quiet at about 1% CPU. The wake word is still ready but interruptions are off.
- **On-demand vision** — When you want AYO to actually look at a screenshot, it does — only when you ask, with your explicit permission.
- **Memory map** — Everything AYO remembers about you is visualized on your machine. You can delete any entry with a single click.
- **Inbox Awareness** — AYO monitors your Gmail inbox for important emails — interviews, deadlines, payment alerts — and surfaces them as on-screen notifications. AYO only reads email metadata: sender name, subject line, and date. Email content and attachments are never stored or sent anywhere.

## Privacy promises (verbatim)

1. No screenshots saved.
2. No audio saved.
3. No raw text saved.
4. Only short summaries are stored — on your machine — and you can delete them anytime.

The only thing that ever reaches AYO Systems servers is the question the user deliberately sends.

## Personas

- **Chill Smart** — Calm, sharp, straight to the point. (Power users, devs who want zero fluff.)
- **Excited Inventor** — Analytical, hyped, full of ideas. (Builders, students, late-night brainstorms.)
- **Lazy Sleepy** — Tired but real. Concise, deadpan. (Long sessions, low-energy days.)
