Brainy

Brainy is the assistant that remembers, so you don't have to. Tap the orb and say it once. A wifi code, a birthday, "call the dentist tomorrow at three", the door code at your friend's place. Brainy keeps it, and nudges you when it matters. TALK TO IT A real conversation, in your language. Ask what you told it last week. Tell it to forget something. It answers out loud, in a natural voice. REMINDERS THAT FIT YOU Say the time however you like: "in twenty minutes", "Friday morning", "every year on the 21st". Brainy works out the date and learns when you usually want things. YOUR DAY, AHEAD OF TIME Connect your calendar and Brainy tells you what's coming up and warns you before meetings. Sign in with Google and it can book a meeting with a Meet link, invite people from your contacts, or move and cancel one, just by asking. POINT THE CAMERA A wifi sticker, a receipt, a handwritten note, a shopping list. Brainy reads it and keeps what matters. The photo itself is never saved. MEETING NOTES Let Brainy listen while you talk. You get what was said, who said it, and what to do next, straight into your memory. NAMES THE SONG Music playing? Brainy tells you what it is and keeps it in your list. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything Brainy remembers is stored encrypted on your phone. Brainy only uses Google's AI after you allow it, and you can turn that off in Settings. Calendar, contacts and camera are optional switches you control. Brainy speaks and understands English, Danish, German, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish, Polish, Czech, Romanian, Greek and Turkish.
