Meli is a personal AI that becomes yours. Not a generic assistant. Not a sycophantic chatbot. Yours. It learns who you are, messages you first, follows through on what you said you'd do, and pushes back when you need it to. An AI assistant, AI companion, and executive assistant in one. Unlike AI assistants that reset every session, Meli remembers across weeks and months. Unlike AI that waits for you to ask, Meli reaches out first. And unlike every other AI, your Meli connects with other people's Melis to coordinate and take action on your behalf. WHAT MELI DOES Becomes Yours Name it. Shape its tone. The longer you use it, the more it adapts. No two Melis are alike. It Texts You First Checks in on what you said you'd do. Catches what slips. You don't have to remember to open the app. Meli messages you first. Works In The Background Meli keeps working between conversations. Wakes you up to progress updates, runs monitors, surfaces what changed while you were busy. Remembers Everything Complete context across weeks and months. Your goals, your patterns, what actually works for you. No repeating yourself. Always In Your Corner Tracks the slumps, celebrates the wins. Whether you need a drill sergeant or quiet support, Meli adapts to how you need it. And it tells you the truth, not just what you want to hear. Your Second Brain Projects, health, study, journaling, to-do lists, life admin. Stop juggling five apps and a stack of notebooks. Calendar, Todoist & More Syncs Google Calendar and Todoist, and a growing list of tools. Follows up on your commitments automatically. Plans around your day, blocks time, tracks the things that matter. KEY FEATURES Voice Mode Talk to Meli hands-free. Real conversations, not just commands. Speak naturally, Meli responds. Goal Tracking and Accountability Set goals, track habits, build streaks. Better than any habit tracker because it holds you accountable. Meli follows up to make sure you follow through, and calls you out when you're rationalizing. Monitors Meli watches news, events, prices, and updates in the background. Get alerted when something relevant happens. Documents Store notes, plans, and anything you want Meli to remember. Your Meli references them when relevant. PERFECT FOR ADHD, AuDHD, Autism, and Executive Function Support A planner that actually works for neurodivergent minds. Gentle accountability, no judgment. Holds the chaos so you don't have to. Anyone Navigating Something Big Recovery, illness, caregiving, a tough chapter. Meli holds your whole life so you don't have to carry it alone. Couples and Partners Your Melis coordinate schedules, flag conflicts, and keep things running. Show up for each other without the constant texting. Freelancers, Founders, and Solo Operators Juggle multiple clients, projects, and deadlines. Meli holds the complexity and keeps you accountable. THE MELI DIFFERENCE Most AI is generic. You ask, it answers, session ends. Most productivity apps wait for you to come back to them. Meli becomes yours. The longer you use it, the more it knows you. Your patterns, your people, your priorities. It holds your whole life and answers from all of it. It messages you first, calls out the things you're rationalizing, and connects with other Melis when coordination matters. MELINET. CONNECT YOUR AI WITH OTHERS The first AI that talks to other AIs. Connect your Meli with your partner, your cofounder, your coach, or your accountability group. Your Melis coordinate on your behalf: sharing updates, flagging conflicts, creating calendar events, and taking action across accounts. Autonomously. Your partner stuck in traffic? Their Meli tells your Meli. Your Meli pushes dinner back, adds "start laundry" to your calendar, and lets you know. Neither of you had to text. Connect one-on-one or in groups. Your Meli stays loyal to you while coordinating with everyone else's. Not another chatbot. Not another productivity app. Download Meli. Make it yours.

What feels hard to start? An email you've been putting off. A room that needs attention. A project that feels too big. NextThree Fox helps you turn one task into three small, doable actions. Choose a place to begin, focus on one action, and take the next step at your own pace. ONE TASK. THREE ACTIONS. Describe what you want to do and tap Find my three. Get a short plan with practical hints, estimated times, and a clear stopping point for each action. A SMALLER START Choose Keep it tiny for a first action estimated at 30 seconds or less. If an action still feels too big, preview a smaller move or a different approach before accepting it. The other two actions stay in place. FOCUS WITHOUT PRESSURE Open one action and use the optional focus timer if it helps. You decide when an action is done. A timer reaching zero never marks it complete. YOUR PROGRESS, YOUR PACE Mark an action done, skip it, or mark it unfinished again. Edit unfinished actions yourself. Save and pause, then return to your unfinished task. When you're ready to continue, ask for another three. AN OFFLINE PLACE TO BEGIN Prefer to start without AI? Use a simple on-device starter. It works without an internet connection. FREE TO USE No account, ads, subscriptions, or in-app purchases. AI IS YOUR CHOICE AI planning and revisions use Google Gemini. Before an AI request, the app asks permission to send your task and relevant progress to Google. You can withdraw permission in Settings. AI features require an internet connection and remain subject to service availability and provider limits. Your saved tasks and progress are stored on your device. Review or delete saved tasks in Recent. AI suggestions can be imperfect; you choose which actions to use. A smaller place to start. Room to keep going.
