Straight answers.

KayEA is an AI executive assistant. It brings the context of your work, home and community into one place, and gives you one assistant to talk to and hand things to. Kay is the assistant you talk to in KayEA. She shows where her answers come from and has the next step ready for you to approve.

Because that is the job: carrying the background, noticing what matters, preparing useful work and taking some of the weight of keeping a full life moving. You don’t need a senior title to benefit from good help. KayEA is for anyone carrying several responsibilities at once.

Finding what was said or agreed, getting ready for a meeting, catching a promise that slipped, and drafting replies and notes. Keeping an eye on money, on what is being said about you or your company, and on anything that looks out of place in your accounts. Talking to one assistant instead of a dozen apps, at work and at home. And handing off bigger jobs, such as a presentation or the books, which Kay passes to her AI specialists and checks.

The services you already use, through standard connections: email and calendars, meeting notes and team chat, files, finances, social media and smart-home devices. As more of your favourite tools open up, Kay can connect to them too. How it works

Yes, when you’re ready. If you have an executive assistant, a chief of staff, a bookkeeper or a family member who helps you, invite them to work with Kay, with access matched to their role, such as work context only, or more. You approve each person and can remove access at any time.

Only the accounts you connect. KayEA shows what is connected, how far back it reaches and how recently it was checked, and it tells you when it has only part of the record.

Only with your permission. Each kind of action, such as sending a reply or moving a meeting, is its own permission, with limits and a record of what happened. Until you allow it, Kay prepares the work and you decide.

In a private KayEA set up for you alone. When a task needs it, selected information goes to the AI provider you choose, under that provider’s business terms. Trust, in detail

Tell Kay what is wrong and the correction is kept beside the original. Any connection, and anyone you’ve invited, can be removed in one step.

KayEA keeps your context separate from any one AI model and connects, through an open standard called MCP, to the AI tools you already use. You rent the intelligence. You own the context.

The idea began with Kay Summersby, who served as Dwight D. Eisenhower’s driver and secretary during the Second World War. KayEA is an original AI executive assistant inspired by the question her work raised. It doesn’t portray her or speak for her. A short, sourced account

“Kay-E-A”: the name Kay, then the letters E and A, said together as one word.

No. If you can use an AI app today, you can use KayEA. For people who would rather have it set up and looked after for them, there are services for that. Services
