It does the stuff you don't want to.
Umber is a personal assistant that lives on your phone like a contact. Text it or call it, and it handles the rest — the school email, the dentist, this week's groceries — and asks before anything that matters. It remembers everything you've ever told it, so you never explain twice.
You're on the list. We'll email you the moment a seat opens up. Invites go out in small waves while we get things right.

Umber is a contact on your phone. So is every specialist behind it.
No dashboard to learn. Open the app and there's a list of people you can text or call — the same two buttons your phone puts under a friend's name. Text when you can type. Call when you can't.
Your contactsUmber first, for anything at all. Specialists when you know who you need.

“Move my two o'clock and text Sam the sitter's number.”
Done — you're at 3:30 now, and Sam has the number. Want me to hold the 3:30 if traffic's bad?
CallHands on the wheel, head somewhere else. Say it out loud and it's handled the same way. Screen drawn from the app's call view.
Side by side, not a chat window
A chatbot answers questions. Umber does the work.
Most of what Umber sends you isn't a reply — it's a report. It works in the background of your day, across your email, calendar, lists and the sites you'd rather not log into, and texts you when something's done or needs a decision.

Nothing irreversible without your Yes.Orders, sends, submissions — Umber gets to the last step and waits for you.
Memory
It remembers everything. Instantly.
Say something once and it's kept — the list from two years ago, the sitter's number, the pattern you used for the baby blanket. You never dig through Notes again, and every specialist knows what you told the others. That memory is also what lets Umber do things for you without asking twenty questions first.
Under a second. No scrolling, no "where did I put that."
Say it once. You told Umber. The Tour Guide already knew.
Memory is what makes the work possible. It can act for you because it already knows the details.
Open the drawer any time. What I remember lists every memory with the exact line it came from. Confirm it, correct it, or delete it — any of it, or all of it, for good.
Your inbox, handled.
The mental load arrives by email: the bill, the school notice, the appointment confirmation, the "reply by Friday." Umber reads the forty and does the two — and asks you before anything sends.
Design preview"Check my email — anything important?"Four today. One needs you.
-
Sorts the forty
Bills, packages, appointments, school, newsletters — it knows which is which, and which one is actually for you.
"Two from school, one bill due the 30th, the rest can wait." -
Pulls out what matters
The date, the amount, the deadline — lifted out of the message and onto your calendar or your list.
"Orthodontist confirmed Thu 3:40 — added. Parking note kept." -
Replies in your voice
Drafts the answer the way you'd write it, shows you, and sends only when you say so. Archives what's done.
"Reply to the coach: yes, both weekends work." → drafted → sent on your Yes -
Remembers what it did
"That email you sent Tuesday" means something to it. Who sends the bills, who sends the packages — it keeps track.
"Who sends the water bill?" → "Sandy Springs Utilities, around the 12th."
Open-ended
Ask it about anything. It keeps growing.
The 5k plan, the exam next week, the trip in October, the interview on Thursday — behind Umber is a growing cast of specialists, each with the same memory of you. New ones show up in your contacts on their own.
Seven specialists in the beta today, and Umber itself for the rest. The next ones — dinner, the home, the garden, the pets — arrive in your contacts without an update.
Built by us today. Soon, by anyone.

Coming next
One Umber for the whole household.
Shared family memory is next: one assistant that knows who has practice, whose form is due and what's in the fridge — and answers each of you like it's yours. Beta members get it first.
Why Umber
It works for you. No one else.
Technology promised to save us time — then handed us more to manage. We're building the opposite: an assistant that takes work off your plate, keeps what it learns to itself, and answers only to you.
