NANI??? Ever sat through a call understanding nothing, then realised someone just asked you a question? Nani? learns who’s speaking by voice, right on your Mac, and floats live translated subtitles over any call. No bot joins, so nobody sees a thing. When your boss asks you something, it chimes and suggests replies you can say back, even in a language you don’t speak. Add context and a glossary before the call, and get a summary with action items after. Next time, you won’t have to say NANI???

Meet Arro, the AI assistant that does the busywork. Arro works right in the apps you already use. Point at something and ask, and it shows you each step on your screen or does the work for you. Show it a task once and it writes a playbook you can read and edit, then repeats it whenever you ask or on a schedule. Ready to use out of the box. No technical setup required. Free for Windows and Mac.
