Overview

New Computer is the company behind Dot, a web and mobile service that uses AI to surface curated content, recommendations, and personal reminders from the information you choose to provide or connect. The service is described in the Terms as a platform that learns your interests from uploaded data and connected accounts, then uses that context to help with everyday planning and recall.

The public site now says New Computer is winding down, and that Dot will remain operational only until October 5. Even in that wind-down period, the product’s stated purpose remains the same: to help people organize personal information, brainstorm ideas, and surface relevant details from notes, images, audio, text, and connected sources.
