A text-based AI assistant for families that read email and calendars to book appointments, plan meals and pay bills, and one of the first mainstream assistant apps to get SOC 2 certified. It launched June 2, 2026, raised a $7.5M seed led by Khosla Ventures, and shut down 157 days later on November 6 with a week's notice. CEO Bill Lennon: 'We got close, but ultimately couldn't keep up,' as rival assistants made it 'harder to stand out, grow, and raise the capital we needed.' Users were texted an export of their data and refunded for unused months.
