What is Consul?
Consul is an AI executive assistant that connects to Gmail, Google Calendar, Outlook, Slack, Google Docs, Drive, and Contacts to handle inbox triage, drafting, and meeting scheduling. It is built for founders and senior operators who want morning briefings, email drafts in their voice, and meetings booked across time zones without a human EA. The product is currently in invite-only beta and reaches users through web, email, iMessage, SMS, and voice.
Why Consul works
A real executive assistant handles the small decisions (which email matters, what time works, who to follow up with) that quietly eat a founder's morning. Consul reads the same inboxes and calendars an EA would, sorts and drafts in the user's style, and books meetings against stated preferences, so the operator hits 9am with a daily brief instead of a backlog.
Consul features
- Morning brief. Delivers a personalized daily summary by email or iMessage so the user starts the day knowing what needs attention.
- Inbox triage. Sorts incoming mail by priority and category and drafts replies in the user's voice for quick review.
- Autonomous scheduling. Coordinates meetings across attendees, time zones, and stated preferences so the user does not negotiate slots.
- Cross-app intelligence. Reads context from Gmail, Calendar, Slack, Google Docs, Drive, and Contacts so drafts and decisions reflect the surrounding conversation.
- Recurring routines. Runs repeating jobs like inbox cleanup, meeting prep, and weekly reviews on a schedule so the user does not have to remember to ask.
- Multi-surface access. Operates over web, email, iMessage, SMS, and voice so the user can delegate from whatever surface they are on.
Who Consul is for
- Solo founders without an EA who still want a daily brief and drafted replies for the high-volume mornings.
- Senior operators at small companies who book several external meetings a week and want time-zone juggling handled for them.
- Consultants and advisors juggling multiple inboxes and clients who need triage that respects different relationships.
- Investors and partners coordinating intros and meetings who want a programmatic way to manage the resulting calendar load.
