Hey ASIST,
what’s on today?

Here’s your
day

A card with today’s events

The conversation and the cards, on one screen.

Talk in the middle, and the cards with the answers line up on either side. The Dock at the bottom opens the mini apps.

Mini apps

Easy to use.

Open Agent jobs, tasks, notes, mail, memory and the calendar straight from the mini apps, or from the conversation: “Open next week in the calendar.”

Agent

Hand off the tedious work.

Research and file edits that take time go to the codex or claude CLI, once you approve them.

Memory

An agent keeps a diary and tidies up what it remembers.

Every night at midnight, it writes a diary from the day’s conversations: about you, and about its own day. The next day’s conversation starts from what it remembers.
