Yansu
Yansu watches how you work on desktop, remembers the patterns it sees, and hands off chores before you open another chat prompt. Built by Isoform for knowledge workers and small teams, it listens through screenshots and connected messaging apps, then runs background computer use on its own virtual cursor while your pointer stays free.
Chat assistants wait for instructions. Yansu crystallizes sprint workflows and review habits into structured memory, picks Claude, GPT, Gemini, or other models per step, and automates repeat tasks without locking you to one provider. Integrations cover Slack, Teams, Feishu, Discord, Telegram, WhatsApp, and WeChat.
The app is local-first: observations, memory, and automations stay on your machine unless you explicitly allow data to leave. Isoform backs the product with SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications, masks passwords and tokens on device, and offers Closed Eyes Mode when you want capture paused.
Learns from desktop screenshots and connected chat apps without manual prompts
Runs background computer use on its own virtual cursor, never hijacking yours
Distills tribal knowledge into structured memory about how you actually work
Picks Claude, GPT, Gemini, or other models per task automatically
Integrates with Slack, Teams, Feishu, Discord, Telegram, WhatsApp, and WeChat
Masks passwords, API keys, and contact details on device before saving observations
Closed Eyes Mode pauses capture when you do not want Yansu listening
Acts proactively from observed work patterns instead of waiting for prompts.
Runs background computer use on a separate virtual cursor so your focus stays put.
Stores observations, memory, and automations locally with on-device redaction of secrets.
Supports macOS, Windows, and Linux with direct downloads from the Yansu site.
Monthly usage caps on handoffs, automations, and memory even on paid tiers.
No mobile app; Yansu is a desktop-only experience today.
Enterprise pricing requires contacting sales rather than self-serve checkout.
Does Yansu have a free plan?
Yes. Yansu Free costs $0 per month and includes about 2 handoffs, 2 automations, and 2 memories and knowledge entries per month. You can download the desktop app for macOS, Windows, or Linux without paying.
How much does Yansu Pro cost?
Yansu Pro costs $20 per month and includes about 5 handoffs, 5 automations, and 50 memories and knowledge entries per month according to the Yansu pricing page.
What platforms does Yansu support?
Yansu runs on macOS 13 or newer, Windows 10 or newer, and Linux on Ubuntu 20.04 or newer with x64 or ARM64 builds. Downloads ship as DMG, ZIP, or tar.gz installers from the Yansu site.
Which AI models does Yansu use?
Yansu automatically selects the best model for each step, including Claude by Anthropic, GPT by OpenAI, Gemini by Google, and others. Analysis and execution can use different models depending on the task.
Is my data used to train AI models in Yansu?
No. Yansu stores activity observations, memory, knowledge, and automations locally on your device and does not use your data for model training. Nothing leaves your machine without explicit permission, and Isoform is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified.
How is Yansu different from ChatGPT or Copilot?
Unlike ChatGPT or Copilot, Yansu is proactive: it observes your work patterns and acts without being prompted. It builds a living memory of how you work, hands off tasks you would rather skip, and runs tailored automations in the background.
Do I need coding skills to use Yansu?
No. Yansu is a no-code desktop app that observes your existing workflows and acts automatically from observation through execution. You keep working as usual while it handles handoffs and background automations.
