Poppy debuts a proactive AI assistant to help organize your digital life
Summary
Poppy launched a proactive AI assistant app that consolidates calendar, email, messages and other services into a single dashboard. Users connect their accounts and Poppy uses AI plus location data to surface what’s important now and offer proactive suggestions, like taking a walk during a free gap or recommending restaurants based on past messages. The app integrates with Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, Gmail, Outlook, iMessage (via a Mac app), WhatsApp, Uber, Instacart and more, and can track flights, send medication reminders and respond to user queries. The San Francisco-based four-person startup raised $1.25M in pre-seed funding and says it encrypts stored data, uses zero-retention with cloud LLMs, and aims to move models to on-device execution over time.
