Littlebird

Littlebird is a personal artificial intelligence assistant that observes your work across your apps to help in context. Installed on desktop and mobile, it sees the active screen, attends meetings, and connects to your tools.

What is Littlebird for?

It centralizes the context of your day: it takes meeting notes with summaries and action items, answers questions about your work without you having to re-explain everything, and connects to services like Gmail, calendar, Notion, or Linear. A quick-access overlay ("Hummingbird") appears on top of any application, and "routines" send automatic daily briefings. The idea is to have an assistant that already knows your situation, unlike a ChatGPT or Claude, which start from a blank page every conversation.

Littlebird or ChatGPT and Claude?

Those are very powerful general-purpose assistants but without memory of your work context. Littlebird bets on this ongoing awareness of what you're doing to be useful without copy-pasting. In exchange, it asks you to accept a tool observing your screen and apps, which raises a real privacy question.

What are the limits of Littlebird?

It's a young product in a recent category, whose maturity and reliability remain to be confirmed. Permanent access to your screen and personal data requires a lot of trust, despite the announced SOC 2 certification.
