Try https://crew.ao

I’ve not officially launched it, it hav therm using it as my daily driver for a few months. I may in the future add BYOK, but for now I’m a lot more focused in improving it for real world usefulness. The goal is to really answer the question “what is the actual benefit of LLMs”, for these personas:

1. Business: a business leader (CXO, or any other decision maker or managerial type) that is drowning in processes, meetings, plans, research, experimentation, and needs a team of specialists following them wherever they go.

2. Building: An engineer who wants to get as close as possible to a Jarvis like experience (not there yet, but getting the pieces together) that they can trust, instead of yelling constantly at agents and just saying “ship it”.

3. General: A normie (or your mother) that just needs help getting through their day, reading her emails, killing all the spam, replying, answering questions on whatever they need.

4. Physical: Eventually someone like a farmer, that can manage their entire operation by injecting sensor data into the app and monitoring performance, identifying plagues, etc.

The main goal is 100% privacy friendly, no training and absolutely no claim on anyone’s data now in the future. I actually wonder how one can insure that this outlives acquisitions (not that I expect to be acquired)

Try it out, mostly I’m just expecting some feedback. Thanks!

Thanks, this looks genuinely cool but way too technical for me. I am not trying to code or build anything. I just need an automated AI agent that can access siloed email and calendar oh and probably documents for client agreements to send back and forth. Nothing I have to custamize of or tweak to get it to work.

You actually don’t. You signup, connect your email (IMAP or Google OAuth), plug into your telegram or WhatsApp and you get an agent that manages your email. You can go as deep as you need, or as “just an assistant” as you need. I may post some demos soon.

Mobile app is on the roadmap.

Thanks appreciate that but that is what I am saying is I dont want to monkey around with anything. I dont want to connect imaps or google things. I just want to sign up with a service that gives me everhting I need without having to configure anything. Email, calendar, docs, out of the box. Nothing to connect. just sign up, take my credit card, and go. No history to import, no other services I have to connect.

Got it, you likely won't find it. That app will be selling you AI + calendar service + email service + etc. Each of those is it's own startup. Just email it a beast, with storage, spam lists, etc. I doubt even Meta/OpenAI will give you this.

Yeah, as simple as it sounds, probably too much to ask. I wish you much luck with your project. Thanks for the info and replies.
