Urgent: your finance team needs today's quarterly spreadsheet before 5 PM. Would you like me to take care of it?
Go ahead
Done. The spreadsheet is in your finance team's inbox, with 9 minutes to spare.
Delivered 4:51 PM
Nobody opened a laptop. Nobody wrote a prompt. Nobody remembered the deadline, except the assistant that was watching for it. That's the product.
Today we're introducing Genii, a personal AI assistant that lives in your messages. There is no app to download and no account to set up. You enter your phone number, wait a few minutes, and a new contact appears in iMessage. From that moment you have a mind at your side, one that answers when you text, speaks when you'd rather talk, remembers what matters to you, and quietly gets work done in the background, with your approval on everything that counts.
Get started
01
No app to download, no account to set up.
02
A few minutes later, your genii’s status flips.
03
A new contact appears in iMessage. Text it like a friend.
That's the entire setup. If you can text a friend, you already know how to use Genii.
Why we built it
The best AI models today are astonishingly capable, but they live in the wrong place. They wait inside an app or a browser tab, and they treat every conversation as the first one. You provide the context, you carry over the results, you remember to come back. The assistant, for all its intelligence, is passive.
The industry has spent years making models smarter. Almost nobody asked the other question: what would it take for intelligence to actually show up? To know you on Tuesday because it knew you on Monday. To speak first when something needs you. To finish the work, not describe it.
Genii is our answer: presence, memory, and initiative, packed into a single contact on your phone.
What Genii can do
Everything below builds toward a single feeling: someone capable has your back.
01 / 06
Genii watches the streams you’ve connected and acts on what it finds: the flight open for check-in, the pull request waiting on review, the promise you made in passing three days ago. When something needs you, it texts you first: briefly, at the right moment, with the work already half done.
The point isn’t more notifications. It’s fewer, better ones.
02 / 06
Every conversation becomes memory: names, preferences, decisions, the way you like things done. In idle hours it dreams: consolidating what it has learned, connecting the note from March to the plan you made last night, pruning what stopped mattering.
Tell it once; it stays told.
03 / 06
Link Gmail, Google Calendar, Slack, GitHub, Google Maps, and Google Drive. Each connection is both a tool and a source of signal: it can search your inbox and draft replies, summarize the channel you’ve been ignoring, and find the document you only half-remember.
Three connectors, one text.
04 / 06
Text "Talk mode" and the conversation moves to live voice: the same assistant, the same memory, in real time. Voice is for the moments typing isn’t: driving, cooking, walking, thinking out loud.
Whatever you decide out loud is already written down when you get back to your desk.
05 / 06
Every genii comes with a real machine and a real browser, isolated in the cloud. It shops with your signed-in accounts, writes documents, runs research, and ships code while you’re away. Finished work arrives back in your messages.
Nothing consequential happens without your recorded consent.
06 / 06
Add Genii to a group conversation and it participates like anyone else: it settles debates, books the restaurant, turns "we should do a trip" into an actual plan. It’s socially aware: it contributes when it’s useful and stays quiet when it isn’t.
It reads the room.
Initiative is only possible because of what sits underneath it: Genii's memory never resets. Every conversation becomes memory. In idle hours it dreams, consolidating what it has learned and quietly pruning what stopped mattering. And it grows: next week it books the flight the way you would have; next month it drafts the email in your voice.
A day with Genii
One person. One thread. The same Tuesday you had last week, with a mind at your side.
Morning. Three meetings today; the two emails that matter are flagged. One warning: the 3 PM vendor review still has no agenda.
Coffee is still brewing when Genii texts first.
Trust, in plain language
Only what you connect: one service at a time, each one opt-in. And what it learns serves exactly one person. Your genii runs in its own isolated environment, and its memory belongs to you alone.
It can’t. Consequential actions like sending, buying, and posting stop at a consent gate and wait. You approve, it acts, and the approval is recorded. Policy is enforced by the system’s architecture, not by hoping the model behaves.
They live only on the server. The runtime that thinks and acts never holds your credentials. The keys never leave the vault.
Runtimes crash, sleep, and upgrade; your conversation survives all of it. Messages are never lost and never delivered twice. The thread never breaks.
Say hello
Genii starts rolling out today: iPhone and iMessage first, with more surfaces on the way. Intelligence is our greatest resource. Together, we make it abundant, and Genii is its personal expression. The models were ready. What was missing was presence.
