Imbue unveils Studio personal-computing environment and opens waitlist

Imbue introduced Imbue Studio on 01 Oct 2026, describing it as a personal-computing environment and opening access through a waitlist. The company presents it as a computer where people and AI agents can work together to make tools, bring in data and build systems for ongoing use. A studio can be set up for one person or shared so others can build in it as well. Imbue says users can create as many studios as they want and edit them together with teammates or friends.

The product is designed to turn information and services people already use into custom tools. Imbue gives the example of combining calendar, email and Slack information in a to-do list that updates in real time. Users can also bring in files from their computers, information from online services and tools made by other people. The company says tools can be shared through a link, letting others use them with their own data. Studio can also turn created tools into desktop apps and make them accessible by phone, according to Imbue.

Imbue says Studio can be changed through plain-language requests, and that its open-source code allows the environment to modify itself. The company says users can adjust its appearance, skills and behavior, or ask it to add features. Users can choose Imbue Cloud or run a studio on their own machine, and can download a cloud studio to run locally. Imbue says all traffic and stored data are encrypted, and that agents run in a secure sandbox without access to secrets or credentials. Agents have no access by default, with users deciding which permissions to grant. The product also supports switching among Anthropic, OpenAI and open model subscriptions during a conversation, Imbue says.

For AI builders, the product’s approach puts agent-assisted work alongside tools users can customize, share and connect to their own data. Imbue says its aim is to give people a computing environment they control, including the option to export and run it locally. People interested in trying Studio can join the waitlist, which Imbue says is open now. Broader access is expected later, but the company did not provide a date in its announcement.
