Town - A proactive AI personal assistant that collaborates to coordinate schedules

What is Town

Town is a proactive AI personal assistant. It goes beyond waiting for questions in a chat box: after connecting to the user's email and calendar, it continuously learns their contacts, schedule, and habits, and proactively takes on tasks. Its core feature, Routines, can be preset and then run continuously and automatically, such as morning briefings, pre-meeting preparation, and automatically declining cold emails; the AI persona Townie can collaborate with others to coordinate schedules.

Town's main features

• Personal wiki learning: Continuously learns from existing emails, calendars, and writing style; without needing to tune prompts, it understands your clients, deadlines, and work habits.
• To-do execution: Write down a task list, and Townie executes it directly and reports back results, such as drafting emails or replying to threads. When a decision is needed, it marks "Needs input" for you to confirm.
• Routines automation: Set up scheduled tasks that run continuously once configured, such as scanning for unmerged PRs every Friday and drafting a team status update.
• Auto-inbox inbox management: Automatically categorizes new emails and drafts responses for emails that clearly need a reply.
• Cold email decline: Identifies and flags recruiter and sales pitch emails, and can automatically draft polite declines for your review.
• Calendar optimization: Every Sunday evening, analyzes the coming week's schedule and offers suggestions to merge meetings and protect focus time.
• Pre-meeting briefing: Researches upcoming meetings and sends concise briefings, skipping low-value meetings.
• Contact background check: When an email from a new contact arrives, automatically generates a structured background profile of the person and their company.
• Morning Briefing: Daily push notification of your schedule, urgent items, and updates on topics you follow, with an audio version.

Town's core advantages

• True proactivity: Proactively identifies what needs to be done from emails and calendars, proactively prepares briefings before meetings, and proactively offers to take over after discovering your repetitive work patterns.
• Zero prompt barrier: Automatically builds a wiki of "how you work" (clients, deadlines, writing style). Ordinary users can use it without researching automation, leaving the task of "discovering how to use AI" to AI as well.
• Set once, run continuously: The Routines mechanism lets tasks run automatically in a recurring cycle as agreed, without needing to repeat instructions each time.
• Agent-to-Agent Collaboration: Your Townie can directly coordinate schedules and request information with the other person's Townie; multi-person collaboration is already in place.
• Anthropomorphic Trust Design: Each Townie has a name, image, and dedicated email, combined with permission controls that let you define which actions require confirmation, striking a balance between proactivity and controllability.
