Iris is a conversational AI tool powered by OpenAI's advanced models GPT-3.5 and GPT-4. Universally accessible, Iris can be initiated anytime, irrespective of the users current app interface.

It has been designed to function seamlessly with user operations, including a 'sling' feature that allows users to move Iris to another side of the screen if it's obstructing their view.

Iris also acts as an image-based discussion advocate, enabling users to swiftly capture and screen images to discuss content.

The interface enhances user interaction by integrating natural gestures such as swiping to open, close, or move Iris, and also provides simple keyboard shortcuts that encourage more efficient use.

Moreover, Iris does not require completion of its responses before accepting new user inputs, paving the way for smooth, back-and-forth conversations.

Additionally, Iris supports formatting features such as bold text, bulleted lists, and code with syntax highlighting making it furthermore versatile in presenting information.

The Iris' response time to user interaction is reported to be significantly fast, thereby providing a swift conversational experience.

As of 2023, Iris is designed by Interface Studio, providing users with assistance and regular updates online.
