Voice-first executive assistant
An assistant you simply talk to.
Tess manages your calendar, tasks and contacts in conversation. Ask what's on today, move a meeting, capture an action — out loud, while you keep working.

What they do
Three things, handled properly.
01
Calendar
Ask what's on, book something new, or move a meeting. They resolve “tomorrow” and “Friday at ten” against your timezone.
“Move the pipeline review to Friday at ten.”
02
Tasks
Capture an action the moment it comes up, with a priority and a due date, then close it out by voice later.
“Add a task to send Mei the Q3 numbers, high priority, due tomorrow.”
03
Contacts
Keep the people around a deal to hand — role, company, email — and pull one up mid-sentence.
“What's Mei's email?”
How it works
Fast enough to feel like a conversation.
A plain answer comes back in roughly 800 ms. When they need to look something up they say so, and keep talking while they do it.
Step 01
You speak
Your microphone streams straight to Google's Gemini Live service from the browser. Audio never passes through our servers.
Step 02
They act while talking
Tool calls run without blocking speech, so they can say “one moment” and mean it — then answer with the result.
Step 03
You interrupt freely
Cut them off mid-sentence the way you would a person. Playback stops and they listen.
Calendars
Your real schedule, not a copy of it.
Connect Google Calendar or Microsoft 365 and Tess reads and writes the calendar you already use. Changes made anywhere — your phone, Outlook, someone else's invitation — reach them within seconds.
There is no separate Teams calendar to connect. The calendar Teams shows is your Exchange Online mailbox, which is the calendar Outlook shows — one Microsoft connection covers both.

Voices
30 voices. Pick one and hear it.
Every voice has a sample you can play before choosing. The selection is pinned to your account server-side, so it applies to every session.
Security
Built so a stolen session isn't a stolen calendar.
Isolation enforced by the database
Every record is scoped to one account by row-level security, so the database itself refuses another account's rows. Isolation never depends on application code getting a filter right.
Calendar tokens out of reach
Refresh tokens live in a table no browser session can read — reachable only by server-side code. A leaked session grants nothing on your real calendar.
Audio is never stored
Speech goes from your browser directly to Google's Gemini Live service. We keep the text transcript so you have a record; the audio itself is never received or retained.
Nothing is tracked
No analytics, no advertising identifiers, no third-party trackers, and no cookies beyond the one that keeps you signed in.
Tess is in early access and under active development. Read the privacy policy for exactly what is collected and who processes it, including a note on which Gemini tier is in use.
