The next frontier in computing: an AI-native alternative to Windows
Kora is positioning itself as a genuinely free, AI-native alternative to Windows, targeting users who live inside AI models and agents. This isn't a skin on an old OS. It's built from the ground up for a computing paradigm where conversation and automation replace file menus. For anyone feeling constrained by traditional operating systems, this is an invitation to explore a more intuitive future. Also, Adobe's new Firefly prototype tool is taking a similar approach to challenging Figma.
