Ask less. Know more. Dvina is a personal AI assistant that knows your world and comes to you first. Connect your email, calendar, files and the apps you use, and Dvina keeps the whole picture in view: who's who, what's planned, what's waiting on you. You spend less time asking, and more time living. KNOWS BEFORE YOU ASK Dvina notices what matters before you think to check. Your passport expires before the trip. A bill is due Friday. A meeting moved. It tells you, with the next step ready for your OK. Once a week, your week arrives in one card: what got done, what was decided, what's still open. SEE IT, DON'T READ IT Ask where your money went and get a chart. Ask when everyone's free and get a calendar. Ask what's left before the move and get a checklist. Dvina answers with the thing that makes it clear at a glance, not a wall of text. YOUR WHOLE WORLD. ONE PLACE. Mail, calendar, files and chats, understood as one. Dvina remembers what matters and keeps it current as your day changes, so every answer starts from what's true for you now. Works with 100+ apps, including Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive, Outlook, Slack and Notion. JUST CALL Call Dvina like you'd call a friend. Talk it through with your hands full, with live captions on screen, hang up, and it's handled. DONE WHILE YOU SLEEP Hand off the long work: research, a plan, a draft. Dvina keeps going in the background and the result is waiting when you're back. YOURS ALONE Private by design. Your conversations and documents are never used to train AI models. Sensitive details like card and phone numbers are masked automatically before they reach the AI, and Dvina asks before it does anything personal, like paying a bill or sending a message. EVERYWHERE YOU ARE Start on your phone, pick it up on your computer. It's one Dvina, wherever you are.

Your best thinking rarely waits for a keyboard. It happens on a walk. In the car. Staring out a window with no good place to write it down. The idea is right there, half-formed and worth chasing, and the moment it arrives is the worst possible moment to start typing. And some thoughts don't want to be typed at all. They want to be talked through: said out loud, answered, sharpened with every pass. Thinking out loud can break through where typing can't. Riffie is AI for thinking out loud. Frontier-model depth, with the one thing voice AI keeps taking away: the space to finish a thought. Tap once and talk. Riffie never cuts you off. Pause to find the word. Backtrack. Ramble. A long pause isn't a cue to jump in. The mic stays hot. You decide when a thought is finished. Long, half-formed thoughts are exactly where the good stuff lives. A second tap sends your message. You don't press play on the answer. The reply plays itself the second it lands, so you can keep moving. As the text streams in, so does the audio. In other apps the audio is an afterthought. Here it is the point. Some thoughts need a different listener. A pragmatist who tells you what to do. A challenger who pushes back. An improviser who says yes and builds on it. Switch mid-conversation when the thinking changes shape. Same thought, different pressure. Talk to the models you already trust. Move freely between Claude, GPT, and Gemini. Riffie is the voice layer on top. The depth is theirs. The flow is yours. When one conversation isn't enough, make it a project. Group the conversations that belong together. Riffie gathers what matters across them and keeps only what you approve. Memory you shape, not memory that decides for you. The next walk picks up where the last one ended. Built for motion, not the desk. Playback holds steady through headphone swaps, route changes, and network blips. It doesn't drop the thread when the signal does. Talk now, read it later. Every word, both sides, is saved as searchable text and synced across your devices through your own iCloud, not our database. The idea you had on a Tuesday walk is still there when you go looking in March. Flip one switch and your conversations land on your Mac too, as markdown files you can open, search, or drop into whatever you write in. Leave whenever you want and take all of it with you. Also in Riffie: Audio Sharing: Share any reply as audio, with a visual share card built in. You can also share the text or a full transcript. Playback Controls: Adjust the speed, and scrub to jump back or ahead. Summaries: Riffie can sum up a long conversation at any point, ready to read or copy out. Attach a File: Drop a text file into Riffie's folder in iCloud Drive and bring it into a chat. Long files are summarized first so they don't crowd out the conversation. Voices: Choose from a range of AI voices, and give each persona its own voice. Response Length: Switch between longer, more thorough responses and shorter, more direct ones. Custom Dictionary: Riffie can learn the names and words you use and improve its dictation. Riffie is free to start, with Pro when the thinking gets heavier. Keep walking. Keep talking. Work it out. Riffie. Your voice-first home for frontier AI.
