I How it works

A briefing on Monday becomes a chief of staff by Friday.

The morning brief is the wedge. Triage, drafting, and meeting capture follow — at the pace you allow.

i.

Install & connect

Connect Gmail, Outlook, your calendar, and Todoist in a few clicks.

ii.

Read & index

Your last 90 days, stored in one encrypted database on your machine.

iii.

Brief, every morning

A quiet broadsheet at 7am — open actions, today's calendar, the mail flagged important.

iv.

Earn the leash

Approve a few drafts. Aria learns your voice. You choose how much she handles.

II Four capabilities

Quiet on the surface. Doing a great deal underneath.

The Briefing

One page, every morning, before you've finished coffee.

Pulled from your calendar, inbox, and the news you follow. Reads in under two minutes.

  • PII-redacted before reaching any frontier model
  • Delivered at the time you choose
  • Improves with your feedback over time
Aria — daily briefing
The Triage

Urgent. Action. For your information. Noise.

Aria scores every message, drafts replies in your voice, and waits for your approval before anything sends.

  • Voice learned from your sent messages
  • Sensitive drafts held for explicit confirmation
  • Correct once — Aria remembers for that sender
Aria — approval queue
The Calendar

She notices the stacks before you do.

Unified Google + Microsoft view. Honors your rules, detects conflicts, and never writes without you.

  • "Move my 3pm to Thursday"
  • Meeting prep brief 15 min before each event
  • Conflict alerts in the briefing, not as interruptions
Aria — unified calendar
Ask Aria

A reader over your own history.

"What did we agree with Acme?" Indexed locally, answered locally — every answer cites its sources.

  • 274 MB embedding model, runs on your laptop
  • Hybrid BM25 + vector search; cites every claim
  • ⌘K from anywhere in the app

III The deal we make with you

Trustworthy by design. Not just by policy.

Your data, on your machine.

One AES-256 encrypted database. Key in your OS keychain. We run no server that holds your mail.

AI

Hybrid routing, by default.

PII routes to a local model. Only redacted context reaches the frontier. Every decision is logged.

Every send asks you first.

No autonomous outbound. No calendar writes without you. Sensitive drafts always require explicit confirmation.

What we don't do No telemetry · no analytics · no model training on your content · no shadow profile.
