Research preview

Meet your Familiar.

The kind of support only executives have had: a personal AI agent that triages your inbox, preps your days, runs your research, and remembers what matters.

A familiar shows up before you ask.

By invitation while we're in research preview.

Douglas · keeps the inbox honest
Morning. 41 new overnight — three need you. Replies for two are drafted; the third needs a call only you can make.
Give me the short version.
Priya wants Thursday instead of Tuesday, the board feedback is in — mostly small — and your accountant needs the K-1 by Friday.
The job on top of your job

You manage everything.
Nobody manages you.

Run a business, a household, a client list — any life with enough moving parts — and you're really working two jobs: the one you chose, and the unpaid operations role behind it. Scheduling, follow-ups, paperwork, research, the running list that never stops running. Executives hand that second job to a person. Everyone else does it at night.

The real work
Family
The second job
A familiar shape of day: the operational work waits until everyone else is asleep.

Familiar exists so the second job stops being yours. Not because you're dropping things — you're not — but because holding it all together was never the best use of you.

Why an agent

Chat answers. A Familiar shows up.

ChatGPT and Claude are brilliant when you ask. But they wait to be asked — they don't remember you across days, they can't see your inbox or your calendar, and they never tap you on the shoulder. The operational job is proactive by nature. The help has to come to you.

What am I forgetting today?
I don't have access to your calendar or email — but here are some general tips for staying organized.
Your Familiar · already on it
Morning — three things today. Your 9:00 with Priya: brief's ready. The K-1 is due Friday. And tomorrow's 8:00 is only on your family calendar.
You didn't have to ask.

Why Familiar

An agent you don't have to manage.

Familiar runs in the background and reaches you where you already are. You stay in control of everything that matters.

It shows up before you ask
A morning roundup before you've opened a single app. A prep brief before the meeting. A heads-up about the thing you'd have missed. Your Familiar watches for what matters and brings it to you.
You set the boundaries
It starts the way you'd want it to: reading everything, touching nothing. It drafts — you send. It can never rewrite its own rules, and the boundaries only move when you move them.
Genuinely yours
Smart on day one, indispensable on day seven. Your Familiar takes its character from the way you actually work and write — no two are alike, and yours sharpens the longer you're together.
Working in minutes, looked after for good
Sign up, talk for five minutes, connect your accounts in one click — your Familiar is working before your coffee's cold. We run the models and the infrastructure so you never have to, and when something's off, a human answers.

How it works

From stranger to teammate in three steps.

01

Have a conversation

Instead of a setup wizard, you meet your Familiar. It learns what you do, who matters, and where it can make you sharper.

02

Connect your world

One click links your email and calendar over OAuth. No keys to copy, nothing to configure — you're done in seconds.

03

Let it get to work

Your Familiar triages, drafts, researches, and preps — then checks in. Nothing leaves the building without you.

What it does

What your Familiar can do today.

A small set of capabilities we trust completely — each one deep enough to lean on.

Inbox triage
Reads everything, surfaces the few that need you, and drafts the replies for your review.
Calendar
A morning roundup across every calendar you've connected, and a prep brief before each meeting.
Web research
Looks it up, reads the sources, and brings back the two things worth knowing.
Memory
Remembers your people, projects, and preferences across every conversation.
On your phone
Message your Familiar from wherever you are — Telegram today, WhatsApp and Slack on the way.
Scheduled check-ins
Recurring tasks that run on their own — a morning brief, a Friday digest, whatever you need.
Safety

A capable agent on a short leash.

Everyone we onboard draws the same line before we've said a word: read everything, touch nothing without asking. So that's exactly how Familiar is built — and the line only moves when you move it.

On its own, it can

  • Read your connected accounts
  • Draft messages and replies
  • Look things up and summarize
  • Remember what it learns

It asks you first before

  • Sending any message
  • Posting anything publicly
  • Spending money
  • Changing or deleting data

It can never

  • Rewrite its own rules
  • Disable its guardrails
  • Touch a service you haven't connected
  • Act without logging it

Today your Familiar reads and drafts; sending is entirely in your hands. Your accounts connect over OAuth, credentials are encrypted, your data is used only in conversations with you, and every action is logged. You widen the leash as trust grows — and you can always see exactly where it stands.

Not an assistant. A familiar.

In folklore, a familiar is a companion that acts on your behalf — loyal, capable, a little uncanny. Yours takes shape from how you communicate and complements the way you work. It makes you look good to the world, and saves the clever bits for you. No two Familiars are the same.

Who it's for

Built with people doing two jobs.

Our research-preview cohort: a recruiter running a firm, a product leader running a complex household, a screenwriter, an author. None of them want to run software — all of them have real work to hand off.

“It researches, tracks the developments I'm watching, and keeps the book moving while I think. I keep finding new things to hand it.”
Author & former tech executive
“Watching the calendars, chasing the follow-ups — it used to eat my mornings. Now my days are just the calls, and I'm not questioning where to start.”
Executive recruiter
“It doesn't judge the way a person would — it comes at the draft from an expert angle. I came for the novelty and stayed for the continuity tracking.”
Screenwriter
