Talon Assistant

Talon is your personal AI assistant, and this is the app that keeps it in your pocket. Your assistant lives on the channels you already use, text, Telegram, and WhatsApp, and answers the way you would. It drafts the firm but polite email to your landlord, reschedules the dentist, finds the dog friendly cabin under budget, and confirms the booking instead of handing you a wall of options. It can also cover your front desk, replying to the people who message your number so nothing slips through while you are busy. The Talon app is the companion to your heytalon.com subscription. It gives you a fast, focused way to run your assistant from anywhere. Chat from anywhere. Pick up any conversation, ask a question, or hand off a task. Replies stream in real time and are formatted the way you actually read, so a drafted email or a short list arrives clean and ready to use. Shape its personality. Open the personality editor and rewrite how your assistant talks and behaves in plain language. Make it warmer, terser, funnier, or more formal. Save, and it restarts with the new voice in seconds. Live status and controls. See at a glance whether your assistant is on the line. Restart it or pause it with a single tap, right from your phone. Usage at a glance. Track the credit you have used this cycle and how many days until it resets, so the bill never surprises you. Memory that sticks. Your assistant remembers what matters about you between conversations, so you are not starting over every time. Talon requires an active subscription from heytalon.com. Create your assistant on the web, choose its channels, then sign in here to carry it with you everywhere. Questions or feedback? Visit heytalon.com.
