Short Description: Soluto’s goal is to bring an end to PC user frustration, using advanced technology combined with collective user wisdom.

Long Description: Soluto’s goal is to bring an end to the frustrations PC users encounter, with transparency, killer technology, and the wisdom of the crowd. Soluto’s software combines low-level technology with collective wisdom to detect PC users’ frustrations, reveal their causes, and learn which actions really eliminate them to improve user experience. All this data is gathered in Soluto’s PC Genome, a knowledgebase of frustrations and solutions built automatically through the usage of Soluto software, for the benefit of all PC users.

At the moment, Soluto includes 3 main features:

1. Chop Boot - allows you to understand your boot, discover which applications are slowing it down (and keep running later in the background, affecting your ongoing experience), and allows you to significantly improve it.

2. Lighten Web Browser – Shows you which toolbars, add-ons and plug-ins are 'riding' on your browser, what they do, and what they look like. Helps you easily remove unneeded ones, making your browser faster and more stable, and shows you whether other users chose to keep them or disable them. It also lets you revert back to your search provider of choice in case it was 'hijacked' by other software.

3. Heal Crashes – Changes the way you experience application crashes (that is, when applications unexpectedly ‘die’ and prompt Windows to send 'Crash Report' dialogs), analyzes application crashes against tens of millions of crashes already collected, and delivers solutions to prevent them from recurring.

As PC users from a very young age, we were simply tired of being so frustrated with our PCs.

A few basic things just didn’t make sense to us:

1. Why our PCs didn’t do what we asked them to, when we asked them to;

2. Why our PCs became increasingly sluggish and unresponsive, the more we used them and so quickly after we bought them;

3. Why we had to think twice before installing additional software, for fear that it might have a negative effect on our PC performance.

We realized that we could build a technology that could undo this state of affairs. And so we did.

Soluto employs innovative low-level Windows kernel technologies to identify what users are asking their PC to do, and what their PCs do in return. Soluto is able to pinpoint and analyze what resource obstacles stand in the way of users’ desired actions. These can be I/O issues, network issues, resource locking, and so on.

Soluto uses the same technologies to determine which actions users took that had a positive effect on their computing experience. For example, pausing certain processes and reconfiguring certain applications can dramatically improve the behavior of a particular piece of software.

This anonymous technical data is gathered and sent to Soluto's PC Genome, a one-of-a-kind knowledgebase containing statistical insights about PC software and hardware behavior, as well as remedies to alleviate PC usage frustrations. By bringing this information to light, the PC Genome will help consumers and vendors alike.

Soluto employs another set of innovative algorithms to determine which remedies will have a positive impact on each Soluto user's unique PC system. These remedies are then shared with other relevant Soluto users.
