Adam looks like Adam (and updates can undo themselves)
The release where the last traces of the old name disappear and the update
system finishes its safety story. Also the first release with a Windows
installer alongside the ZIP.
Highlights
- New icon. Adam's mark is now a bold cyan "A" — app window, browser tab,
desktop shortcut, phone home screen. Android launchers get a properly padded
icon so nothing is cropped. (On iPhone, remove and re-add the home-screen
shortcut to see it.) - The home screen says ADAM. The header above the orb still read JARVIS —
the very last visible piece of the old name. Gone. - Updates now verify themselves and undo on failure. After applying an
update, Adam boot-checks the updated code; if anything is wrong it puts every
file back exactly as it was and tells you — you stay on your current version. - Friendlier "out of AI" messages. Pay-as-you-go credit running out now
says so plainly (with where to top up) instead of quoting a raw billing
error — in every mode, including code chat. - You can't get trapped inside the ZIP anymore. Double-clicking SETUP,
START, or UPDATE from Explorer's ZIP preview now explains how to Extract All
first, instead of dying with a red error. - Windows installer (beta).
adam-setup-v0.9.39.exeinstalls Adam like a
normal app: Start Menu + desktop shortcuts, Add/Remove Programs entry, and a
clean uninstall that keeps your notes, token, and data. It refuses to run
while Adam is open and backs everything up when installing over an existing
copy. Unsigned for now — SmartScreen will warn until code signing lands. The
ZIP flow is unchanged and still the tester-recommended path. - Clear AI disclosure. Setup, docs, and the privacy page now say plainly:
Adam is an AI assistant powered by Claude, processed under your own account.
Updating from 0.9.38 or earlier: click the in-app update bar, or
double-click UPDATE in your Adam folder. Your token, settings, files, and
chats are untouched. Restart Adam afterward (close the black window, reopen
from the desktop icon).
