Personal AI to talk through what matters most

The big LLMs are largely designed around one-off interactions. In Ear Voice is designed around you.

Instead of treating each conversation as a fresh interaction, Ivy builds an ongoing relationship with you. She remembers the people, places, goals, and threads that matter to you, can listen without interrupting, take more powerful actions through your integrations, and proactively bring things to you when she thinks they’re worth your attention. And privacy is built into that relationship, keeping what you talk about confidential.

We think that she’s also just nicer to talk to than the others, but that’s a taste question.

So while the underlying AI technology is similar, the experience is fundamentally different.

AI came so far in recent years, but yet, using AI still feels surprisingly transactional and mechanical: open an app, start a new session, type a prompt, get an answer, start over. That made us wonder: why does the most advanced technology in the world still feel so unnatural to interact with?

We felt there was a better way. That’s why we set out to create an AI that feels less like an app you open and more like a digital extension of yourself. An upgraded inner voice that you can think out loud and get things done with. Even (or especially) in moments where your eyes and hands are busy with other things.

No. But imagine hiring the best chief of staff you’ve ever worked with. And then telling them nothing. No calendar, no inbox, no idea who anyone is. They’re still sharp and good company. They’re just… a bit ineffective. That’s Ivy without integrations. She can reason about anything, but she can’t tell you the 11 o’clock is the client who went quiet three weeks ago, or that the email sitting at the top of your inbox came in at 6am from your boss.

Connect and the whole thing changes. “What’s my day look like” goes from a shrug to a briefing. You stop explaining your life and start getting help with it.

Whenever. The easiest way to get started is to make In Ear Voice part of something you already do, like your commute, your run, or while cooking. Just look for the stretches of time when your hands and eyes are already occupied. Those moments are often filled with nothing but podcasts, music, or silence. They’re also some of the best opportunities to think, learn, plan, or reflect.

That’s exactly how we started using In Ear Voice ourselves. As founders, we looked at the hours we were spending alone in the car every week and realized how much of that time we could reclaim for something more useful. So we built In Ear Voice to be the person in the passenger seat who helps us make the most of it.

We’ll let you in on a little secret: the hardest part of talking to Ivy is the first 30 seconds. It can feel a bit like walking into a networking event where you don’t know anyone yet, so you just... check your phone and hope someone talks to you first.

So we made it easy. Look at the top of your home screen and you’ll see a swipeable carousel with action cards.

Tap one. Ivy takes it from there. After that first tap, it’s easy. Promise.

Absolutely. You can share images and PDFs to discuss with Ivy by tapping on the paperclip in the top right corner of the app.

In Ear Voice gets better the more you use it. Every conversation teaches Ivy something: how you work, what you care about, who matters to you, the projects you’re working on, and the things you keep coming back to. The more you talk to Ivy, the more context she has to work with. And the more context she has, the less you have to explain, the more relevant her answers become, and the more naturally she can help you think, plan, learn and get things done.

You can speed that process up by importing memories from other LLMs.
