Your data. Your AI. Your say.

Talk to Kay

Ask out loud. Get the background, with sources.

Speak to Kay or send a text, from wherever you are. Kay pulls together what matters from everything you have connected, shows where each answer came from, tells you what is missing, and has the next step ready for you.

She prepares. You decide. Nothing goes out without your approval.

How it works
KayExample

What do I need before tonight’s board call?

Three things:

  1. Two actions from the last meeting are still open. Minutes · Oct 12
  2. The treasurer’s question about the reserve fund hasn’t been answered. Email · Tue
  3. The email says the 14th, the invitation says the 13th. Email · Calendar

I’ve drafted a reply to the treasurer.

Who it’s for

For anyone carrying a full life. No title required.

A business, or two. A board. A household. A team you coach on Saturdays. Family you want to be present for. Most busy people keep all of it in their head, spread across a dozen inboxes and apps.

KayEA gives you one place that holds your context and one assistant to talk to and delegate through. It suits founders, executives and anyone running several things at once.

What you can hand Kay

Everyday help, across your whole life.

Find what was agreed

“What did we agree with the roofer in September?” The answer, and where it came from.

Get ready for anything

A short briefing before a meeting, a call or a visit, with the background in one place.

Catch what slipped

The promise from last Tuesday that hasn’t been kept, and the reply you meant to send.

Write it for you

Replies, notes and thank-yous drafted in context, ready for you to check.

Keep an eye on money

Plain summaries of where things stand, and a heads-up when something needs you.

Hear what’s being said

Mentions of you, your company or your cause, gathered and summarized.

Stay secure

A quiet alert when a sign-in, a charge or a change looks out of place.

Run home and work from one place

Talk to Kay instead of a dozen apps, from the thermostat to the team chat.

Delegate bigger jobs

A presentation, the books, a follow-up chased. Kay briefs her AI specialists and checks their work.

Connect what you already use

Your email, calendar and notes. Your money, your home, your tools.

KayEA connects through standard connections to the services you already rely on: email and calendars, meeting notes and team chat, files, finances, social media and smart-home devices. Each one is your choice, and reading comes first. As your favourite tools open up, Kay can connect to them too.

How connections work

Urgent and important

A clearer view of what deserves attention.

Kay sorts what reaches you the way Eisenhower did: urgent or not, important or not. She does it across your whole life, not only your inbox, so a family commitment doesn’t lose to the loudest work message.

Urgent · importantDo it now

Brought to you first, with the background you need to decide.

Important · not urgentSchedule it

Flagged before the urgent crowds it out.

Urgent · less importantDelegate it

To a specialist, or to someone who helps you, with your OK.

NeitherLet it go

Set aside, never lost, so you can come back to it.

When you’re ready

Bring in the people who help you.

Many people already have help: an executive assistant, a chief of staff, a bookkeeper, a spouse who shares the family calendar. Invite them to work with Kay, with access that matches their role.

An assistant at work might see your work context only. Someone closer might see more. You approve each person and each scope, and you can take access back at any time.

  • Approved by you, person by person.No one is added without your say.
  • Scoped by role.Work only, the family calendar, or everything. Your choice for each person.
  • Visible and revocable.See who can access what, and remove it in one step.
What can it see?Only what you connect.

Each account is your choice, and you can see what is included and how current it is.

Can I check its answers?It shows its sources.

Every answer points to the email, document or meeting it came from, and says when something is missing or doesn’t agree.

What can it do on its own?Only what you allow.

Reading and preparing come first. Anything that sends, changes, buys or removes needs your permission, with limits and a record.

Your context, your choice of AI

You rent the intelligence. You own the context.

AI models keep changing. KayEA keeps your context separate from any one of them and connects, through an open standard, to the AI tools you already pay for. Swap them as better ones arrive. Your context stays yours.

Where information is kept and processed

Where the name comes from

An old standard of trust, kept.

The idea began with Kay Summersby, who served as Dwight D. Eisenhower’s driver and secretary during the Second World War. Her work prompted a modern question: how could capable assistance help someone manage the context and demands of a full life?

KayEA is an original AI executive assistant built around that question. Kay, the assistant, has her own identity and voice.
