Overview

What it is

Automate everything. Use Codex, like an open source computer, with several agents that can work for you autonomously.

Intent

I need it when

Schedule recurring tasks to run automatically on a daily or recurring basis

Ara supports scheduled automations (e.g., morning digest from multiple news sources) that run without user interaction, with self-improving capabilities to refine execution over time.

Build and deploy AI agents for team use with centralized control and visibility

Teams plans provide shared policies, centralized roles, and audit visibility so managers can control what agents see, do, and execute across the organization.

Connect and orchestrate actions across 1000+ SaaS tools and native Mac apps

Ara integrates with Gmail, Calendar, Notion, Slack, GitHub, and 1000+ apps plus any open application, enabling complex cross-app workflows without building custom connectors.

Automate repetitive multi-app workflows without manual intervention

Ara drives a real cursor across Mac apps and browser to complete end-to-end tasks like posting to social media, ordering food, or sending digests—eliminating manual clicks and context switching.

Run long-running parallel automations with high reliability and model capacity

Ultra plan supports long-running and parallel work with higher headroom and stronger model quotas, backed by usage-based pricing that scales with agent runtime and tool call volume.

Drop

Not a fit when

  • User requires Windows or Linux support; Ara currently Mac-only with iPhone and other platforms planned for future phases
  • User needs connector-based integrations; Ara uses direct app automation without traditional connectors
  • User requires on-premises or self-hosted deployment; Ara runs locally on Mac or in cloud
  • User has minimal automation needs and wants simple point-and-click tools rather than agent-based workflows
  • User operates in highly regulated environments requiring detailed audit trails; Ara is early-stage with emerging compliance features
