Personal assistant · an installation just for you

You've got fifteen things on the go.
Utgi tells you what comes next.

I'm Otger Vendrell. I run projects between Bogotá and Barcelona, and I built this because I couldn't put up with myself any longer: I was writing things down in four different places and ending up remembering them at three in the morning. I've used it every day for a year.

Show me · 20 minutes How it works

I set up the installation for you myself, and we fine-tune it together during the first week.

How it works

You talk. It takes care of the rest.

01

You say it, and it's written down

A voice note on the go, a photo of a whiteboard, any old message. It works out whether that's a task, a reminder or something you should remember about someone. If you said “Thursday”, it puts it on Thursday. And it keeps your original words exactly as you said them, in case it misreads them.

You say

“On Thursday I have to send the invoice to the accountant”

✓Send the invoice to the accountantThursday · Admin
✓Reminder on ThursdayIn the morning

02

It writes to you before you remember

At whatever time you choose, you get what's on for today. Mid-morning, a nudge with just one thing and the reason why. At night, what you've wrapped up. On Fridays it asks the awkward question: what are you going to leave out next week?

👉 Start with this one: “Call Marta”. It's due today.11:00

03

Your email, already read for you

It tells you what you're being asked for, in the sender's own words, and by when. If a reply is needed, it leaves the draft written in your inbox. By default, hitting send is up to you.

An ordinary day

An ordinary Tuesday. Mine.

07:30 · WhatsAppTwo meetings, three things coming due and two emails waiting for a reply since Tuesday.
09:10 · A voice note from you“Remind me at six to call the notary, and note that he prefers mornings.” Done: reminder set, and the notary's quirk saved where it belongs.
11:00 · A nudgeOne task and the reason for it. If you've already closed something that morning, it doesn't even show up.
16:40 · EmailWhat you're being asked for, and the reply already written, waiting in your drafts.
21:30 · Wrap-upFour done. One left that's due today: shall we move it to tomorrow or take the date off?
Friday · 17:00What moved, what's been stuck for three weeks and what it's time to let go of. You choose, but it makes you choose.

The limits, in writing

What it doesn't do, and never will

  • 01It doesn't send anything unless you decide. By default it writes the draft and leaves it in your inbox, because if one day it gets the tone wrong, you're the one who looks bad. If you want it to send things itself, you switch that on: with your OK each time, or only for the people you choose.
  • 02It doesn't mix your data with anyone else's. Your installation is yours and runs separately, with its own database.
  • 03It doesn't nag you. No streaks to break, no percentages of anything. If you couldn't get to it yesterday, you pick it up today and that's that.
  • 04It doesn't do anything you can't undo. Everything leaves a receipt: what changed, where it ended up and a button to roll it back.
“The hard part wasn't deciding what to do. It was remembering what I'd told someone I would do.”

Questions

What people almost always ask me

Who can see my data?

You. Each person has their own installation and their own database, so your emails don't sit in the same place as another client's. If you ever want a copy of everything, or want it all deleted, just tell me and it's done.

Does it send emails or messages on its own?

Not by default. It leaves you the draft, or the WhatsApp message written and one tap away. If you want, you can let it send them itself, always with your OK or only to the people you choose. Trust is built one reply at a time.

Do I need to install anything?

No. It opens in the browser and you can pin it to your home screen, on Android and iPhone alike. Some people never open it at all and use it only through WhatsApp.

What if I don't use WhatsApp?

Then we go with iMessage, Telegram or simply your phone's notifications. In the United States it almost always ends up being iMessage.

What languages does it speak?

Spanish, Catalan and English. You pick one at the start and can change it whenever you like.

How much does it cost?

It depends on where you are and how far you want to take it. I'll tell you on the call, straight up, and there's no lock-in: if one month it isn't working for you, you stop.

How long until it's up and running?

An afternoon. I set up the installation, you connect your calendar and email if you feel like it, and you tell me what time you'd like it to write to you in the morning.

Let's talk

Twenty minutes and you'll see it from the inside

I'll show it to you with my own projects, real mess and all, not a polished demo. And if I can see it's not for you, I'll tell you and save us both the time.
