Most productivity apps wait for you to manage them. Pocket EA works differently. Pocket EA is a personal AI assistant that remembers what matters, anticipates what needs attention, and helps move it forward—so fewer important things depend on you remembering everything. FROM THOUGHT TO FOLLOW-THROUGH Talk or type naturally. Pocket EA turns conversations into real next steps: tasks, commitments, scheduled check-ins, calendar updates, and plans you can act on. AN ASSISTANT THAT TAKES INITIATIVE Pocket EA helps surface what needs your attention, follows up on unfinished commitments, and presents a clear next action—reducing the decisions and friction between you and what needs to get done. ACCOUNTABILITY THAT ACTUALLY CALLS Schedule a check-in and Pocket EA can ring your device like a real call, including from your lock screen. It helps you revisit what you committed to and decide what happens next. MEMORY THAT WORKS FOR YOU Pocket EA builds useful context across conversations, priorities, people, and preferences, so you do not have to keep repeating yourself. You can review, correct, or delete what it learns at any time. ONE PLACE FOR YOUR DAY View tasks, commitments, check-ins, and scheduled work together. Pocket EA helps you understand what matters now without making you sort through unnecessary information. CLEAR YOUR HEAD Use Clear My Head for a temporary conversation when you need space to think, untangle an idea, or work through something without adding it to your permanent assistant memory. TALK WHEN TYPING ISN’T ENOUGH Have natural voice conversations with Pocket EA, receive spoken guidance, and move through the app while your assistant helps you understand what to do next. MAKE POCKET YOURS Choose animated Pocket characters and unlock new Pocket Forms as you reach goals and milestones. Customize how your assistant looks today, with more personalization options coming over time. Pocket EA includes: • Continuous text and voice conversation • Personal memory with user controls • Proactive attention and follow-through • Task and commitment management • Accountability check-ins and calls • Day, week, and month calendar views • Clear My Head temporary conversations • Animated Pocket characters and unlockable forms • Privacy, memory, and account controls Pocket EA is for people who do not need another place to organize their lives.
