## What is Kess?

Kess is a real assistant, not another chatbot. Ask out loud or type. She answers, then actually does the thing: calls it, books it, sends it, files it.

WHAT KESS DOES
- Makes real phone calls. The restaurant, the office, the shop, the plumber. She asks your question and brings back the answer.
- Does things no app covers. Kess has her own computer: a web browser, files and small programs. Ask for something new and she works it out, then reports back.
- Signs in to your own sites. Give her a login once and she keeps it encrypted, for you alone, and uses it only in her own browser.
- 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, written complete and ready. You see exactly what goes out and tap send.
- Reads your mail. Gmail, Outlook and Microsoft 365. "Find the invoice from the plumber."
- Starts your morning with a brief in her voice: your day, your reminders, the weather, what she is watching for you.
- Orders your coffee and sets up rides, food, shopping and flights with your details filled in, one tap from done.
- Makes real files: a budget, a deck, a document, a PDF, built and handed to you as a link.
- Reads what you send her: photos, PDFs, spreadsheets and documents, right in the chat.
- Talks hands free. Tap the mic once and have a conversation. In the car, she tells you what needs you.
- Remembers you. Your people, your places, your usual order, and everything you told her today.

FOR REALTORS
- Showing feedback, done. After each showing she calls the other agent, asks the four questions, and writes it up for your seller.
- Weekly seller updates every Monday, with showings, feedback and views, in a report with your name on it.
- Online leads called within minutes, as your assistant, qualified and logged in your CRM.
- "File this in Transaction Desk." She signs in through WEBForms, puts the document on the right checklist line and saves it the way the office needs.
- Contracts filed: upload the deal and the price, deposit, conditions and closing date land in your CRM and calendar.
- Rowan, your coach: a daily check-in, a Sunday call and your real numbers against your goal. Sold on top of any plan.

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. Nothing is sent, posted, booked or paid without your tap.

MADE BY ONE PERSON IN CANADA
Kess is built and run by one person, a working realtor, in Canada. She grows new abilities every week, partly from what users ask for. Ask her for something she can't do yet and she takes it to the build room; you hear from her when it ships.

Go live your life. Kess will take care of the rest.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.8 — 2026-10-23

Coffee from Kess's own computer: save your Starbucks or Tim Hortons login once, say "order my coffee", and approve the order with one tap. Paperwork by the stack: send a zip or a whole folder and Kess reads every file and files it where it belongs. Just Listed, Under Contract and Just Sold graphics a tap away. Possession days on your calendar with a heads-up a week out. Rowan, your coach, checks in on your week. Kess now runs from Canada, and has her own sound.

### 1.0.7 — 2026-10-20

A guided setup for new people: Kess walks you through everything she does, one step at a time, with buttons under each message, and sets things up as you go. Pause any time and pick it back up later.

Settings has Saved logins: every website login Kess holds for you, behind Face ID, to view or change.

My business, the briefcase on Today: every listing on its own page with a Just Sold button, Drives, Books, and Lists with a link anyone can open.

Photos from Files, a share sheet that sends Kess anything, and the free trial is the whole package from day one.

### 1.0.6 — 2026-10-14

Kess can read your Outlook or Microsoft 365 mail now, alongside Gmail. Connect it in Settings under Work tools and ask her to find a statement or an invoice.

Rowan, your coach, can be started from his own screen.

Small fixes throughout.

### 1.0.5 — 2026-10-10

Kess is reorganised around two things: the conversation, and Today.

Today pulls down from the top of the conversation with your thumb. Everything Kess is handling for you is there with its own button: what needs you, your tasks with checkboxes (tracker tasks and Reminders, ticked off where they live), what Kess is working on, your listings, Rowan your coach, and what's coming up.

Also in this version:
- One + for photos, camera, files and recording a meeting; the talk button lives inside the message box
- Settings in four plain groups
- True-black night mode, with Kess's own green in both modes
- Meeting recordings keep going with the screen locked
- Online leads: forward inquiry emails to your Kess address and she calls each one as your assistant, then logs it
- Showing feedback: Send, Edit or Not now on every piece; "I'll get back to you" replies keep the ask open
- Reads your Slack channels and Notion pages (once connected)
- In the car, Kess says what needs you once per drive
- "Tell Kessway: …" sends a note straight to the people who make Kess

### 1.0.4 — 2026-10-06

Kess now works a listing for you.

Showings and feedback: Kess reads your ShowingTime, Paragon and iGUIDE emails, keeps every showing on record, and asks the showing agent for feedback by phone after each one.

Weekly seller updates: one tap builds a designed update for each listing, with showings, feedback and online views, under your name, brokerage and logo. You approve the send card; Kess sends it embedded in the email and as a PDF.

Kess's desk: tap Kess at the top of the chat to see what needs you, your morning brief, and every listing.

Spoken brief: a 30 to 40 second morning brief you can play from the Lock Screen, plus a What's up Kess shortcut and a Lock Screen widget.

Check-ins between meetings, a spoken yes for sends and calls, and a confidential on-device recorder for your notes.

New Kess Realtor plan.

Fixes: calendar names, exact send receipts, and a Cc field on every email.
