Los Angeles, August 19th, 2002

Intelligent Assistance, Inc today announced that the OS X native version of The Intelligent Assistant software is available today with faster performance and a new Aluminum appearance. The Intelligent Assistant software drives the 'DV Companion - The Intelligent Assistant for Final Cut Pro 3'; the 'Intelligent Assistant for Boris RED' and the Intelligent Assistants for Boris FX and Boris Graffiti.

"We're not only pleased that we have a native OS X version Intelligent Assistant software" says Philip Hodgetts, President and CEO of Intelligent Assistance "we're exceptionally happy with the dramatically improved speed and the inclusion of a faster and more featured search engine."

The Intelligent Assistant for OS X is a unique tool that floats over the application and provides Knowledge at the Point of Need. It works as an assistant providing answers to user questions, techniques and tips without moving away from Final Cut Pro, Boris RED, Boris FX or Boris Graffiti. The Intelligent Assistant format is based on observation and research as to how most people want to learn software: by getting started and asking questions along the way. It combines the best features of a book (rich in content) and video (visual guide) in a fully searchable, hyper-linked interface that is never more than a mouse click away.

"The Intelligent Assistant is the first released product developed with iShell 3 from Tribeworks," says Executive Vice President of Technology, Dr Gregory Clarke. "Tribeworks were sensitive to our need to have an OS X native product and have worked closely in the development of iShell 3 so that we could release as soon as possible."

An updater for existing customers is available immediately to update an installed OS 9 version of the DV Companion for Final Cut Pro, Boris Graffiti, Boris RED or Boris FX Intelligent Assistants. All new versions sold will include a universal installer for OS 9 and OS X. The Updater can be downloaded from IntelligentAssistance.com from today.
