## What is Kess?

Kess is a real assistant, not another chatbot.

Ask out loud or type. Kess answers, then actually does the thing: books it, sends it, calls it, posts it. You approve anything that leaves your phone. Nothing goes out without your tap.

WHAT KESS DOES

- Makes real phone calls. Kess calls the restaurant, the office, the shop, asks your question, and brings back the answer. The call always introduces itself honestly.
- Runs your calendar and reminders. "What's my day look like?" "Move my 2pm." "Remind me to send the offer by 5."
- Sends your email and texts. Kess writes them complete and ready. You see exactly what's going out and tap send.
- Starts your morning. A daily brief, in her voice if you want it: your day, your reminders, the weather, and anything she's watching for you.
- Watches prices. Ask about a flight or hotel, and Kess offers to track it and flag changes in your morning brief.
- Posts to your social accounts. Photos, videos, stories, reels. You see the exact post and only your tap publishes.
- Sets things up one tap from done. Rides, food, restaurants, shopping, directions, flights: opened with your details filled in.
- Talks hands free. Tap the mic once and just have a conversation. Pause, she answers, the mic comes back on.
- Remembers you. Your people, your places, your usual order. Kess gets smarter about you every day you use her, and you can ask exactly what she remembers.

FREE AND PRO

Kess is free to use: unlimited conversation, plus a monthly allowance of real-world actions. Kess Pro removes the limits: unlimited emails, calls, posts, texts, and briefs for $14.99 US/month or $99.99 US/year, with a 7-day free trial. Cancel anytime in your iPhone settings.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

No account to create. Your calendar, contacts, and reminders stay on your phone; Kess asks permission the first time she touches each one. Everything outward-facing requires your explicit approval, every time.

Kess was built by a person who is not a developer, using AI, in two weeks. She grows new abilities constantly, partly from what users ask for. Ask her for something she can't do yet, and she files it with the build room.

Let her show you the way.
