AI executive assistant for your to-do's, scheduling, & email
Espa is an AI executive assistant that helps you get things done. Espa schedules your meetings, helps you follow through on tasks, and organizes your email. You can text Espa (or send a voice memo) to book meetings, set reminders, and handle the back-and-forth in group threads. Draft replies that sound just like you, and organize all of your events & to-dos in one place. Espa protects your data with bank-grade encryption, and does not retain or train LLM models on your personal data.
I'm not the most organized person. Never have been. My friends will tell you. My wife will tell you. Anyone who sat next to me in class at Waterloo will tell you.
Yet, I've built things I'm incredibly proud of. I founded and scaled Forethought, an agentic AI customer service company from 0 to $100M+ raised, 1 billion monthly interactions, and a successful acquisition.
In building and scaling a company, I realized that the most successful builders and executives often have really strong teams they can rely on. And if truly agentic AI could work so well for companies, then could it work just as well for individual humans?
So I built Espa to democratize the idea of executive support and scale it to billions. Espa has a phone number and email just like an AI teammate. It's integrated with your Google or Outlook, so it can help you scheduling meetings, manage your inbox, and tackle your todos twice as fast.
And most importantly, it's built with a privacy-first design so you can trust Espa with your work and life. Espa doesn't retain your email or calendar data or train models on it, so your data truly belongs to you. And we have a cool way of doing "memories" and personalization, so ultimately anything Espa learns about you is saved in a doc that you have full read, edit, and delete control over.
I'm actually really really proud of our (small-but-mighty) team for building this. And hope you all will love it!
