When we started Vercept, we set out to build AI that works directly on your computer. Not in a distant cloud, but right alongside you, understanding your screen, your workflows, and your intent. We believed the future of human-computer interaction would be shaped by AI that could see what you see and act on your behalf, safely and transparently.

That mission hasn't changed. It's found a bigger home.

Today, we're excited to share that Vercept is joining Anthropic. From our earliest conversations, it was clear that Anthropic shares our conviction that AI should be both useful and responsible. Their commitment to building safe, steerable AI systems lines up with the principles that have guided us from the start. Together, we'll be able to push further into what's possible at the intersection of AI and the personal computing experience.

To our users and community: thank you. Your feedback, creativity, and willingness to try a new way of interacting with your computer made all of this possible. The energy and ideas you brought to Vercept have been extraordinary, and we're grateful for every bug report, feature request, and word of encouragement.

We're really excited about what comes next. The work we started at Vercept will continue, now with the resources, talent, and vision of the most important AI research organization in the world behind it.
