Worth knowing
Where Daiku falls short
- Daiku is invite only for now. You join the list and wait for your invite.
- Daiku isn't open source, and you can't run it on your own computer.
- Daiku works when your AI asks, or on a check you set up. It doesn't plan your day for you.
- Daiku works on websites only. It can't open the files or apps on your computer.
- Some sites block browsers that AI uses. Then you may need to finish a step yourself.
- Your browser sleeps when no one uses it, so the first step after a break takes longer.
Pick Chrome auto browse if
- You live in the US and pay for Google AI Pro or Ultra.
- You want help inside your own Chrome, on your computer.
- You'd rather use Gemini than another AI.
Pick Daiku if
- You want an add-on for the AI you already use, not a new AI to learn and trust.
- You'd rather keep Claude, ChatGPT or the AI you already use.
- You want your face or fingerprint on every payment and send, by default.
- You want your AI to work from your phone, or while your laptop sleeps.
- You want your browser and your log stored in the EU.
