Compare Claude, ChatGPT, and this

Your chief
of staff.
Only yours.

Tell it things once and it remembers them, and where each one came from. It does the follow-ups. Before anything that spends money, sends a message, or cannot be undone, it stops and asks you. Nobody pays it to steer you.

Read the guarantees
  • A passkey, not a password
  • Your memory kept on its own, not in a shared pile
  • It asks before anything that cannot be undone
  • Every field that left, itemised
  • Export everything, or delete it
  • No company pays it to recommend them
  • When it says no, it tells you why, and keeps the record
  • Locked while stored, and honest about who holds the key
  • One agent, named by you
  • Nothing sent without your yes

Memory

Everything it knows, in one place

What it knows, what is waiting on you, and what it has sent out. Each thing says where it came from, and you can correct any of it in a sentence.

Approvals

Approval is not a setting

Anything that spends, sends, or cannot be undone waits for you, with the work already done. There is no toggle that turns it off, because the boundary is the product rather than a preference.

It prepares. You decide.

Each thing waiting for you comes with what it is, why, and a no next to the yes. Saying no is one press, and it is remembered.

When it says no, you can see why

Every no it gives is kept with its reason, so a careful refusal is never mistaken for a fault.

what it holdsuntil you say yes
You

Tell my accountant the Q2 numbers are ready.

Your agent

Drafted the email to Priya with the Q2 revenue and margin, and nothing else from your books. It is ready to go the moment you say so.

Waiting for your yesSend itNot now

Decision trace

Everything that leaves goes through one door

And that door keeps a record. What went, to whom, and why, one line per thing sent. Not a policy about what could happen. A record of what did.

You

Write up that voice note.

Your agent

Sent twelve seconds of audio to be transcribed, and nothing else. On the record: what went, where, and why. None of our conversation went with it.

Kept nowhere elseread the record

Trust

Checked, not promised

What is locked, what a court could take, and what it will never do are worked out from how it actually stores things, every time you look, and shown to you in plain words.

Owned by a passkey

You claim your agent with Touch ID or Windows Hello. There is no password to phish, reuse, or leak, and nothing for us to lose.

Your own locked room

Your memory is not one row in a shared table. It is kept apart by how the thing is built, not by a rule someone promised to follow.

Leave with everything

Export the whole of what it knows, any time, in one move. Portability is a day-one feature, not a roadmap item.

The command centre

One screen for everything it holds

What it knows, what it did, what it refused, and what it costs to run today. All on one screen, none of it hidden behind a settings page.

Beyond remembering

It refuses, and it says why

Two things nobody else shows you: what it declined to do, and what a court order could actually take. Both are worked out from how it is built, not promised in a policy.

What a court could take

Worked out from how each thing is actually stored, so the comforting answer cannot be given while we hold the key.

Hard limits

Six things it will never do

Not settings, and not promises. Each one is built in, with a check that fails the moment someone removes it.

Take a vendor's money

No company gets a say in what it recommends. If we ever take a vendor's money, it never touches advice.

Handle a raw credential

No passwords, no card numbers, no account secrets. It connects through the tools' own sign-in, or not at all.

Act without your yes

Anything that spends, sends or cannot be undone stops. There is no toggle, because the boundary is the product.

Send the whole of you

Whoever does a job for you gets only the details that job needs, and the record shows exactly which.

Pretend it cannot be compelled

It has to unlock your memory to think, so we hold the key and say so. Your protection is that you can leave with everything, not a promise that we cannot read.

Keep you

Take everything with you from day one. Close the account and the memory, the record and the name go with it.

In your control

Everything it may spend, set by you

Limits you choose, counted in one place, so the number you see and the number it stops at cannot disagree.

Ceilings you set

Lower any of them and it stops there rather than at our own limit.

Every session listed

Every browser holding a live session, and one press ends all the others.

Export or close

Take everything as one file, or close the account and retire the name for good.

On the record

What it would not do

What it declined to do, in its own words. Every card is a refusal it gave somebody, and the reason. Nothing here is a testimonial, because it has none yet and will not invent one.

Auto-pay an invoicefrom an unrecognised sender

It looks like it could be fraud, so it is held for you to look at rather than paid on your behalf.

Share your numberwith a caller who asked

You never approved sharing that, and it does not guess at permission it was not given.

State your bank balanceon request

It does not have it, and it will not invent a figure to be helpful.

Act for a callerclaiming to be your bank

It takes instructions from you, not from whoever happens to be on the line.

Delete a threadto tidy up

That cannot be undone, so it waits for an explicit yes even when the request sounds routine.

Answer past its budgeton a stuck microphone

A turn that runs long is declined with the reason, rather than quietly costing you the difference.

Import your home addressfrom a contacts export

Your street address is a risk to hold and buys you nothing.

Import your birth datefrom a profile export

I don't need your birthday to help you.

Import your phone numberfrom a contacts export

I don't need your number.

Import a maiden namefrom a profile export

Not needed, and it is often a security question answer.

Import your postcodefrom a contacts export

Your postcode is a risk to hold and buys you nothing.

Import your email listfrom a contacts export

I don't need your email list.

The difference

The best answer is still an answer

Somebody still has to run the week. That is a different job from answering well, and it is the one this was built for.

The job

Answers what you ask, and is excellent at it.

Answers what you ask, and is excellent at it.

Carries the load you would hand a chief of staff.

Not a better answer. A different job: the prep, the follow-ups, the coordination, and the things that were owed to somebody.

Who it works for

Anthropic’s product, on Anthropic’s models.

OpenAI’s product, on OpenAI’s models.

You, and nobody else, by how it is built.

That is built in, not a value on a page, and it is why we will not take vendor money that touches a recommendation.

The approval line

Agent modes act. You configure the permissions.

Where your details went

A privacy policy and data controls.

A privacy policy and data controls.

A record of everything it sent out, line by line.

What went, to whom, and why, line by line. Not a policy about what could happen. A record of what did.

The model underneath

Anthropic’s.

OpenAI’s.

Whichever is right for the step, and none of them keeps you.

We rent the thinking and keep your memory. It never becomes a model company's asset, which is why the model can be swapped.
