Talk to Alyssa
A mic in her chat: pick your interface, check the level, and she types what you say.

Settings like your Mac
Laid out like System Settings: seven places, a "Needs you" list, Connections, Find a setting, and "Saved ✓" as you go.
-

Chapter 4
Alyssa grows up
Oct 19 – 20, 2026

Group chats and threads
She reads the back-and-forth of each chat, knows which message a reply answers, can draft a reply to a group, and knows your working hours.
-
7.17
Only what matters
"What I missed" keeps work and plans and leaves the rest out. Plans become "Add to your calendar?", with a warning when they clash.
-
7.16
"What I missed"
One card per person who's waiting on you, in their own words, with a one-line take and "Add these as tasks?". Her chat reads like texts.
-
7.15
Keeping an eye out
Every 5 minutes she checks texts and email and taps you on the shoulder with who it's from (never what). Quiet hours, drafts you open in Messages or Gmail, and a monthly spending cap.

She can read your texts and Gmail when you switch it on: off by default, read-only, Gmail with a simple app password.
