Adsideo understands your live context across your screen, meetings, writing, memory, and code. Instead of waiting for prompts, it quietly turns that context into useful actions like creating tasks, answering questions, drafting content, and fixing problems. Unlike chatbots, Adsideo works in the background of everyday computing, making AI feel natural, seamless, and accessible even for people who don’t actively use AI tools.
@mrc_15j Thank you. This is one of the hardest and most important parts of the product.
We don’t want Adsideo to behave like another notification system. The goal is not to respond to every signal, but to understand when there is enough context and enough potential value to be helpful.
So we think about it in layers:
First, Adsideo quietly builds context from what you’re already doing. Then it looks for high-signal moments, like a clear task, repeated error, draft in progress, meeting commitment, or a question about past work. Even then, it checks timing: are you typing, presenting, in the middle of a meeting, scrolling, or clearly focused?
If the moment is useful but not urgent, it can stay quiet or capture it silently. If the confidence is high and the timing is right, it surfaces a small suggestion.
For us, “ambient” only works if it respects attention. A good suggestion at the wrong time is still a bad product experience.
Interesting idea, and although I would not use today, mainly due to I'm getting frustrated by more and more subscriptions I need to sign up to for tools that may or may not help. I'm bootstrapping my own solo indie developer venture so I have to be very strict on which tools I give my money to. That said I do see the potential this tool provides and I may look again in the future. I do think that for other people happy to agree to yet another subscription this tool could be a game changer, and for that reason you still get my vote.
Best of luck with the Launch.
@codeandsea Thank you, I really appreciate the honest feedback and the vote.
I completely understand the subscription fatigue, especially as a solo founder. Every tool has to justify its place, and “maybe useful” is not enough when you’re watching costs closely.
That’s also part of what we’re trying to solve with Adsideo. If AI becomes another app, another workflow, and another subscription to think about, it adds friction. Our goal is for it to earn its place by quietly saving time in the background: catching tasks, remembering context, improving drafts, and helping when you’re stuck.
But it still has to prove that value clearly.
Really appreciate you taking the time to share this perspective, and best of luck with your indie venture too.
The “AI before you ask” is really interesting. I’ve seen my colleagues and even I avoid AI tools because we need to think what could be the right prompt which is an extra effort. If Adsideo can make AI useful without requiring people to learn prompting, that could be a big shift.
@preeti_yadav10 Thank you, this is exactly the behavior we’re trying to change.
Today, most AI tools still depend on the user doing a lot of work first: realizing AI could help, opening the right tool, explaining the situation, writing a good prompt, and then moving the output back into their workflow.
That works for people who already use AI heavily, but it creates friction for everyone else.
With Adsideo, the goal is to remove that extra step. If the context is already visible in your work, the AI should be able to understand it and help at the right moment, without forcing you to become good at prompting.
We don’t think the next wave of AI adoption comes from making everyone better prompt engineers. We think it comes from making AI feel more natural, contextual, and ambient.
@preeti_yadav10 Thank you so much for taking the time to check it out and share your thoughts! I really appreciate your support and feedback. 🙌
Hey Product Hunt 👋
What if AI didn’t wait for you to open a chatbot, write a prompt, and explain your context?
That’s the idea behind Adsideo.
Adsideo is a proactive ambient AI layer that understands what you’re doing across your Mac: your screen, meetings, writing, code, tasks, and memory, then helps at the right moment.
Instead of asking you to bring context to AI, Adsideo brings AI to your context.
It can help you:
• turn meeting asks into tasks
• improve prompts before you send them
• draft email replies using thread context
• explain and deep-dive code errors
• answer questions like “what did I work on today?”
• protect private apps/files from being captured
The bigger bet is that most people won’t use AI by opening 10 different tools every day. AI needs to become a natural layer on top of everyday computing.
Adsideo starts with Mac, but the vision is broader: ambient intelligence that works before you ask.
We’re launching early and would love honest feedback from the Product Hunt community.
What would you want an ambient AI layer to understand or help with?
