Use cases

What you can hand to an AI assistant that texts you first

Eight everyday errands, each shown as an example conversation with Gravel. Gravel notices, proposes, and is designed to handle it when you say yes.

What can an AI personal assistant do for me?

A personal AI assistant takes the small errands off your list: a flight that slipped, a bill that went up, a form due tomorrow. Gravel does this inside WhatsApp or Telegram, with iMessage coming. It reads the email and calendars you connect, notices what needs you, texts you first, and is designed to handle it when you say yes.

Each page below shows one errand as an example conversation of how Gravel is meant to handle it:

How does every use case work?

Every use case follows the same four steps:

  1. Notice. Gravel spots something in your email or calendar, or you text it a request.
  2. Propose. It tells you exactly what it will do.
  3. Yes. You answer once, and that covers the whole plan.
  4. Report. It handles it and tells you when it is done.

You choose how much Gravel may do on its own, per kind of action, with four levels: just do it, only when I ask, ask me first, or hand it to me. It starts read-only. Gravel always presents itself as an AI assistant, never as a person. Read how it works or the guide to autonomy levels.

Are these real conversations with Gravel?

No. They are example conversations recorded in Apple's Messages app, with every word printed under the video. They show what Gravel is designed to do, not what a running Gravel did, and they are not customer stories. During early access, errands that need another company's website may end with Gravel handing you the last step, with the details ready, instead of finishing it itself. The airlines, restaurants, plumbers and shops in them are illustrative, and Gravel has no partnership with any of them.

During early access Gravel works in WhatsApp and Telegram, and iMessage is coming. It costs €12 a month, one plan, and you join a waitlist. See pricing or the FAQ.

Questions

What can Gravel do for me?

It reads your mail and calendar, notices what needs you, and texts you first: a meeting that moved, a bill that went up, a reply someone is waiting for. When you say yes, it is designed to take care of it and tell you when it's done.

Will Gravel do these things without asking me?

Only if you want it to. For each kind of action you pick one of four levels: just do it, only when I ask, ask me first, or hand it to me. It starts read-only, and one yes covers a whole plan.

Which messaging apps does Gravel work in?

WhatsApp and Telegram during early access. iMessage is coming. If you already use one of them, there is nothing new to install.

How much does Gravel cost?

One plan, €12 a month, with everything included. Gravel is in early access, so you join a waitlist.
