What is Remy?

Best for

• People whose inbox is full of life admin - school newsletters, camp deposits, insurance, renewals, appointment confirmations - and who miss things because the important line is buried in paragraph four.
• People who put off phone calls. Remy calls the salon, the pediatrician, the contractor; waits on hold; comes back with the appointment and a transcript.
• People who don't want to learn a system. There's one chat. You text it like a friend, typos and all. There are no commands, boards, or settings to maintain.
• People who care where their data goes. Remy is not in the business of building AI models. Your data is used to help you and for nothing else.

Not for

• Work. If you want your tasks auto-scheduled around meetings, use Motion or Reclaim. If you want meeting notes, use a note-taker. Remy doesn't do any of that.
• A shared family wall calendar. Skylight and Cozi are built for a calendar everyone in the house looks at. Remy is one person's assistant; it reads your email and acts for you.
• Android or desktop today. Remy is iPhone-only during the beta.
• Email accounts other than Google, for now. Remy signs in with Google and reads Gmail and Google Calendar.

What Remy actually does

Real things it does today, in the order most people meet them:

• Reads the long emails so you don't have to. A PTA newsletter arrives; Remy sends one line: "Nathan's soccer registration closes Friday. I pulled the form for you." The newsletter had nine other paragraphs. You didn't read them.
• Gives a heads-up while there's still time. Your Lisbon flights come through; Remy remembers your passport expires five weeks before you fly and says so, with the renewal link.
• Makes the call. "Book my haircut with Dana, Saturday morning or Tuesday after 5." Remy calls the salon, books Saturday 10:30, adds it to your calendar, and shows you the transcript.
• Drafts and sends email, with your OK. The reply is written, shown to you, and sent only after you press and hold.
• Fills in the form. The car registration renewal on the county site, your plate already entered, ready for your OK.
• Takes a whole project. "Fix the leaking gutter" becomes a room where Remy asks three contractors for quotes with your photos, tracks the replies over days, and comes back only when the decision is yours: "Mike can do Thursday 8 AM for $450. Book him?"
• Remembers. Who Dana is. That Mom's refills are ready Thursdays. That Sam's birthday needs a park permit. You don't re-explain your life every time.

How it works, in three steps

1. Install Remy on your iPhone.
2. Sign in with Google. That connects Gmail and Google Calendar. Nothing to configure.
3. Say hi. From the first minute Remy is reading, and within the day it has a note for you.

How it's different from ChatGPT, Gemini, and Siri

ChatGPT is brilliant when you bring it the problem. It doesn't sit on your inbox and notice the deadline on its own, and it doesn't call the salon. Gemini lives inside Google: it summarizes an email or adds an event when you ask, and its newer Spark agent can run ongoing tasks for paying subscribers; Google's own privacy notice says a subset of chats are reviewed by humans and kept up to three years, and asks you not to enter confidential information. Siri sets timers. Remy is the one that's already read the newsletter, already remembers the passport date, and comes to you with the one line, then does the thing when you approve. Longer comparisons live on the blog.

Privacy, in one paragraph

Remy reads your email and calendar to help you, and for nothing else. When it uses an AI model to think, that request is processed and not kept: the AI providers Remy uses are bound to zero-data-retention terms (the list, with each provider's policy, is at /ai-model-providers). Email and access tokens are encrypted at rest. You can delete everything from inside the app. We make money one way only: people paying for Remy. No ads, no selling data.

Price and availability

Free during the beta. iPhone only. Early access is open from this site. Paid plans will come; the business is people paying for Remy, not advertising.

Who makes it

Remy is built by Hoot Ventures, founded by Rohit Kapoor. He built it because he wanted an assistant his wife, his teenager, and his almost-80-year-old mom could use without configuring anything, and without handing their lives to a company that trains models on them. More in the FAQ.
