For most of history, having a personal secretary was a privilege reserved for the elite. Someone who knew your schedule, screened your calls, took notes, followed up, and kept the noise away — so you could focus on what only you could do. We think everyone deserves that. Secretary Agent is a conversational AI that answers calls on the user's behalf, identifies the caller, assesses urgency, and routes the outcome intelligently. We do not block and forget — we engage, understand, and empower the user with structured intelligence from every interaction. Intelligent Screening: Our AI agent answers unknown calls, identifies the caller, and assesses intent through real-time natural conversation — no scripts, no robotic menus. Smart Routing: Trusted contacts bypass the agent and ring directly. Spam is terminated and logged. Non-urgent calls are summarized and stored. Urgent calls are escalated immediately. Structured Intelligence: Every screened call produces a plain-language summary, full text transcript, and audio recording — stored in a searchable, growing personal knowledge base. Uncompromising Reliability: Our fail-safe architecture ensures that if our service is ever unavailable or a quota is reached, calls continue reaching the user normally. We never let a user miss a call because of us. MVP Features: Intelligent AI call screening with real-time voice detection, speech recognition, and natural-language conversation. Multilingual support for callers across different languages and accents. Call summaries with notes, action points, full text transcripts, and audio recordings stored per call. Call prioritization by urgency and sentiment — the most important calls always surface first. Folder system for organizing and categorizing call summaries. Global Spam Database with robocall, phishing, and nuisance-call protection — crowd-powered and continuously improving. Whitelisting and bypass controls so trusted contacts skip the AI and reach the user directly. Number blocking to prevent specific callers from ever being processed. Custom assistant name, personality, tone, and text instructions — fully personalized to each user's needs. Secretary voice selection: choose from 10 distinct voices (5 male, 5 female) to define how your Secretary sounds. Context integration from calendars and uploaded reference documents for superior handling accuracy. Multi-factor authentication with phone verification, account passcode, and recovery code. Fail-safe call continuity — if our service is ever unavailable or a quota is reached, calls continue reaching the user normally. Push notifications for all important call activity.
