A personal AI assistant
Pepper
A chief of staff for your whole life.
Pepper reads across every calendar and inbox you connect, answers what your day actually looks like, and tells you each morning what you need to know. There's nothing to learn: you ask for things in plain language, the way you'd ask a person.
Pepper is in closed beta — for access, write to [email protected].
What Pepper is best at
Your calendar, answered
Most people's schedule is spread across two or three calendars that don't talk to each other, so "am I free Thursday?" means checking all of them. Pepper reads across every calendar you've connected and answers the question. When the answer is no, you say "move my 2pm to Thursday" and it moves it — confirming the details before it writes.
And a link that books you
Describe when you'll take meetings the way you'd say it out loud — "weekday mornings, never more than two hours in a day, fifteen minutes either side" — and Pepper turns that into a page you can hand to anyone. They pick a time; it lands on both calendars.
They need no account and no sign-in. They see only what's open — never what's on your calendar, and never the rules behind it. Make one that stands all year, or one that closes itself after the single meeting it existed for.
Every morning
It tells you what you need to know
One short read at the hour you choose: what today actually holds, what's coming tomorrow, the weather you'll be standing in, what you said you'd do, and the few things worth knowing from the sites and newsletters you follow. It arrives wherever you are — text, email, or waiting for you in chat.
If it's too much, or not enough, or the wrong hour, you say so. That is the whole of the configuration.
Your accounts
What Pepper connects to, and why
Pepper is only useful because it can see the things it's helping you with. Every connection is optional, off until you turn it on, and revocable from Settings at any time — each one exists to answer a request you make, not to build a profile of you.
- Signing in with Google
- Your name and email address, to create your account and know who you are when you come back. Nothing else is read unless you connect a service below.
- Google Calendar
- Reading your schedule across every calendar you connect is what makes "what does my day look like", the morning brief and booking pages possible. Pepper also creates, moves and cancels events when you ask, confirming the details first.
- Gmail
- Pepper searches and reads your mail so it can tell you what's waiting, summarize a thread, or answer a question about one. With your approval it writes replies and sends them from your address — never on its own from a scheduled task, where it drafts and waits for you.
- Google Contacts
- Read-only, for one thing: resolving a name you mention into an address, so "email Sam the notes" reaches the right Sam.
- Google Drive
- Read-only. Pepper finds a file when you describe it and reads what's inside so it can answer questions about it. It doesn't modify your files or change who can see them.
Pepper's use of information received from Google Workspace APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements. The Privacy Policy sets out what is stored, how long it is kept, and how to have it deleted.
Start with one thing
Connect a calendar, or an inbox, or neither — Pepper is useful from the first message either way, and you can add the rest once you see what you want from it.
