Most AI Assistants Stop at the Answer
Aether is an AI desktop assistant for Windows from Botfinity, the team behind SuperMIA. Most AI assistants answer questions. Aether is built to act: it can read your screen, work inside desktop apps, run PowerShell commands, automate browser tasks and create Word, Excel and PDF files. You give one instruction, and Aether plans the steps, carries them out and checks each result.
Where it stops
A chat assistant
A chat assistant can tell you how to build the report. You still open the files, copy the numbers, format the spreadsheet and save it where your team can find it. Workflow tools help only when someone has built the flow in advance.

- Copies the numbersstill you
- Formats the spreadsheetstill you
- Saves it where the team looksstill you
Where Aether goes
Aether closes the gap
Aether is designed to close that gap. It takes a plain-language request, works out the steps as it goes and carries them out inside the apps you already use, so you are not limited to workflows someone built in advance.

How Aether Works: Reason, Act, Observe
Aether runs on a reason, act and observe loop. It checks the result of each step before planning the next one, so it can adjust when something changes mid-task.
- Step 01
Tell it the goal
Type a plain-language instruction. No workflow builder, no scripting.
- Step 02
Aether plans the next step
The AI model reviews your goal and the tools available, then picks the right one for the next step.
- Step 03
Aether acts
It clicks, types, runs a command, reads a file or uses a connected tool. Consequential actions pause for your approval first.
- Step 04
Aether checks and continues
It reviews the result, adjusts if needed and keeps going until the task is complete.
What Aether Can Do on Your Windows PC
These capabilities are available in Aether today. Aether picks the right tool for each step and can combine several in one task.
See your screen
Reads what is on screen with multimodal vision, with text recognition (OCR) as a fallback.
Work in desktop apps
Clicks, types and drags inside supported Windows applications, including many that have no API.
Run terminal commands
Runs PowerShell and CMD commands and reports structured output and errors.
Automate browser tasks
Fills in forms, navigates websites and extracts information from web pages.
Fast file search
Searches a local index of your files, with restricted folders excluded.
Create and edit documents
Creates and edits Word, Excel and PDF files.
Analyze data with Python
Runs Python in a sandboxed environment for data processing and analysis.
Remember context
Keeps a persistent memory of your projects, decisions and preferences across sessions.
Connect compatible tools
Connects to compatible Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers so Aether can use their tools.
One Instruction. Every Step Handled.
Here is how Aether approaches a routine reporting task from a single request.
Your instruction
“Find last month’s sales exports, combine them into one Excel summary and save a PDF copy to the Reports folder.”
- 01
Search
Finds the matching exports through the local file index.
- 02
Read
Opens each file and pulls the data.
- 03
Analyze
Combines and totals the figures with Python.
- 04
Build
Creates a formatted Excel summary.
- 05
Export
Saves a PDF copy of the summary.
- 06
Deliver
Saves both files to the Reports folder and confirms the task is done.
You can follow each step as it happens. If a file is missing or a format changes, Aether is designed to adjust and tell you, rather than fail silently.

Built to Ask Before It Acts
Aether’s safety engine classifies each action before it runs, using fixed policy rules rather than the AI model’s judgment.
Runs straight away
Reading files, web searches, opening apps, adjusting volume, memory lookups and browsing.
Shows exactly what will happen, then waits for your approval
Deleting files, editing the registry, ending system processes and other consequential changes.
Always refused, however the request is worded
Irreversible system damage and anything that breaks safety policy.
Designed to Keep Your Data Under Your Control
Personal data redacted before cloud requests
Before a request reaches a cloud AI provider, Microsoft Presidio detects and redacts supported personal-data types, such as names, email addresses, phone numbers and street addresses.
Local model option
Run Aether on a local AI model through Ollama to keep work on your PC and continue without an internet connection. Tasks that need the web still need a connection.
Protected local storage
Sensitive profile data is encrypted at rest, and API keys and sign-in tokens are kept in the Windows credential store.
No silent admin access
Tasks that need administrator rights trigger a Windows permission prompt. Aether does not raise its own permissions.
An Assistant That Learns How You Work
Aether keeps a persistent, searchable memory on your PC. Ask “What did I decide about the Q3 campaign last week?” and it can search its memory for the answer, without you digging through notes.
On first launch, a short adaptive interview sets up your profile: your role, your goals, how detailed you like answers and how proactive you want Aether to be. Facts you confirm stay locked in, guesses cannot overwrite them, and safety preferences are only ever set by you.
What Makes Aether Different
Works across your PC
Designed to work in the shell, the file system, the browser and desktop apps, not only inside a chat window.
Built for new requests
Plans the steps for each request as it goes, so you are not limited to pre-built workflows.
Privacy gate built in
Supported personal-data types are redacted before cloud requests, and a local-model option is available.
Your choice of AI model
Supports Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT-4o, Google Gemini, Groq and local models through Ollama.
Works With Your AI Models and Compatible Tools
Aether connects to external services through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard for AI tool integrations. Compatible MCP servers can be added so Aether can use their tools.
- Anthropic Claude
- OpenAI GPT-4o
- Google Gemini
- Groq
- Ollama (local)
- Compatible MCP servers you add
- Gmail
- Google Calendar
- Microsoft Outlook, Teams and OneDrive
- Slack
- GitHub

Coming Next: Run Your SuperMIA Agents From Your Desktop
SuperMIA voice and chat agents talk to your customers. The planned SuperMIA integration is designed to make Aether their desktop command center, so you can check performance, pull lead data and review escalations with one instruction instead of switching between dashboards.
Agent status monitoring
“How are the dental agents performing this week?”
Conversations handled, lead capture rates and response quality, as a summary or an Excel export.
Natural-language agent control
“Pause the hospitality agent at the downtown property and switch it to maintenance mode.”
Aether turns the request into the right SuperMIA action.
Reports in one step
“Compile today's leads from every agent into an Excel report.”
Data retrieval and report creation in a single instruction.
Escalation review
When an agent flags a conversation, Aether alerts you, summarizes the thread and drafts a reply for your approval.
The SuperMIA integration is planned and not yet available.
Built for Professionals Who Run Their Work From a PC
Founders and executives
Hand off the reports, file searches and repetitive desktop tasks that fill your day, and keep approval over consequential actions.
Operations and marketing leads
Turn multi-step desktop work, such as pulling data, building spreadsheets and updating web tools, into a single instruction.
