Hi Marcus,

Thursday got away from Dana. Would Friday at 9:30 work instead? I’ve put a hold on both calendars so it’s easy to confirm.

Sam, Dana’s Austin flight moved to 7:15 AM. I rebooked her car for 5:45. Can you confirm Thursday’s dinner for six?

Sam

Confirmed. I’ll send her the address tonight.

Thanks. It’s in her morning brief.

Works for you. Talks to your team.

Neil acts as your proxy. It drafts replies in your voice, coordinates with your assistant, and keeps your team pointed at what matters this week. Anything sent in your name waits for your OK.

Learns how you work.

Neil picks up your habits from how you already operate: who matters, what can wait, how you like things written. Correct it once and it remembers.

Give Neil a staff.

When a job keeps coming up, have Neil hand it to a specialist. Give it a name, a few rules, and the tools it can use. It reports back through Neil.

Set someone up to handle my travel. Aisle seats, no red-eyes, and use my Hilton points.

Approval gateNothing goes out in your name until you approve it.

Scoped accessNeil starts read-only and asks before it needs more.

Activity logEvery action is recorded in plain English, with a timestamp.

Your dataYour email and documents are used for your work and nothing else.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

How is Neil different from other assistant apps?

Most apps wait for you to ask. Neil watches your calendar and inbox, prepares things before you need them, and follows up on its own.

Will Neil send email without asking?

Not by default. Neil drafts and you approve. Once you’re comfortable, you can let it send routine replies like scheduling confirmations.

Can Neil work with my assistant?

Yes. Neil can loop in your executive assistant, share drafts with them, and hand off anything that needs a person.

Which accounts does it work with?

Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 at launch, plus Slack, Notion, Zoom, and a growing list of tools.

What does it cost?

Neil is in private beta. Pricing will be announced before general availability.
