It's a capable assistant with its own tools, memory, and personality. CHAT WITH YOUR AI Have natural conversations with your AI assistant. Graylin streams responses in real time, remembers context across sessions, and supports media attachments. Organize conversations into projects for easy reference. MANAGE TASKS A full task board with drag-and-drop Kanban columns: backlog, todo, in progress, blocked, done, and more. Your AI can create and update tasks for you, or you can manage them yourself.

Meet PhoneBot. Get things done on iPhone. Turn ideas, files, and voice notes into useful results. Create documents, organize information, and work through everyday tasks with a bot you make your own. HeyCC brings practical AI tools into the conversation, so your phone becomes a place to get work done, not just ask questions. FROM A REQUEST TO A USEFUL RESULT Ask PhoneBot to turn meeting notes into an action plan, organize project material into a brief, or create a checklist you can open and use. Work with files and web information using available tools. With your permission, supported calendar and reminder tools help connect your plans to everyday tasks. YOUR BOT. YOUR STYLE. Give your bot a name, choose its appearance, and shape its role through conversation or settings. Create a writing partner, a planning assistant, or a bot for another kind of work. A personal bot should feel like yours and have a clear purpose. MORE PERSPECTIVES. ONE CONVERSATION. Bring different roles together in GroupBot. Explore ideas, compare suggestions, and ask a bot to check what you might have missed. Mention a bot when you want its perspective. When a task needs tools, continue in that bot's individual conversation. TURN VOICE NOTES INTO NEXT STEPS Capture a thought with voice input or notes, then bring it into a conversation to organize the key points and what to do next. Keep working with your material while the idea is still fresh. MORE ROOM ON IPAD. A BOT ON YOUR WRIST. Use HeyCC's roomier iPad layout to work with conversations and content. On a compatible Apple Watch, access the assistant interface and watch-face entry. Start with one task. Make PhoneBot your own. AI features require a configured, supported model service. Capabilities and fees vary by service and configuration. Relevant messages and attachments are sent to your configured AI endpoint. Device-side tools do not mean all AI runs offline. System features require permission; Apple Watch features require compatible hardware.
