The freelancer
Clients, invoices, and a pile of tool newsletters. Money and signed contracts get through; digests wait.
A personal agent that reads your mail, calendar and documents. You pick how many times a day it may interrupt you; everything else waits for your morning brief. It never sends anything you didn't approve.
Free and open source. It keeps nothing about you until you say yes.
Example Telegram conversation. Peyk sends a notification: Mara Lindqvist wants to move Thursday's review and needs an answer before 5 pm, with buttons useful, noise, and mute thread under it. You ask who mailed you today; Peyk says "Sure, checking today's mail" and lists three items worth your time. You ask it to write to Mara that the meeting moves to tomorrow; it shows a draft with Send, Edit and Cancel buttons. You tap Edit and say "make it 3 pm"; it shows a new draft. You tap Send; Peyk confirms "Sent to Mara".
A newsletter, an invoice, a landlord, a school nurse: the inbox gives them all the same red badge. So you check constantly, or you miss the one that counts.
Peyk reads all sixty and knocks for the few that need you today. The rest waits for tomorrow's morning brief.
Fifteen mails from one day. Choose how many times you want to be interrupted, switch quiet hours, and see which ones knock and which wait for your morning brief.
The dashed knocks are kept for emergencies, and those may come even at night.
Nothing knocks at night, except an emergency.
Everyone gets their own budget, memory and time zone. What knocks depends on what you've told it about your people, and one tap on 🔇 keeps a thread quiet.
Clients, invoices, and a pile of tool newsletters. Money and signed contracts get through; digests wait.
Landlord replies are rare and time-critical. Listing digests and the faculty newsletter are neither.
An alert at 23:10 must wake you, quiet hours or not. The weekly on-call report can wait until eight.
School and daycare mail is a stream of planning days and bake sales. A family emergency gets through anyway.
A secretary who reads everything, tells you the little that matters, and never acts without asking.
What didn't knock arrives once, at eight: what needs you today, what can wait, and what it would do first.
Ask what came in, who wrote, what's due. It answers from your real mail and calendar, and remembers what it told you, so "that mail" just works.
Replies, new mails, invitations. It writes the draft and waits for your tap. Nothing reaches anyone without your OK.
It asks once who you are, learns from what you connect, and keeps only what you confirm. Your name, your city, your time zone, your people.
Every reply and every new mail starts as a draft in your chat. Edit it, tap Send, done. Or tap Cancel and it never existed.
The draft in the chat follows what you type. Then press Send, or Cancel.
Connect a service in one tap. Peyk reads, summarizes and drafts. Anything that reaches other people waits for your OK.
Watches your inbox, summarizes what matters, drafts replies for you to send.
Reminds you 15 minutes before, checks if you're free, adds or moves events when you ask.
Finds and reads your pages, and writes new ones when you ask.
Finds the file you mean, even when you only remember roughly what it was.
Reads your documents and writes new ones for you, once you say go.
Where you talk to it. Notifications, questions, drafts and approvals, all in one chat.
When you connect a service it looks at the basics first: who writes to you, what your days look like. Then it tells you what it noticed and asks whether to keep it. Nothing about you is stored without a yes.
Every mail and every invite to other people waits for your Send. An old button can't send a draft you changed since.
Say "delete my account". It asks twice to be sure, then removes everything: your messages, your memory, and the connections to your services.
| Most assistants | Peyk |
|---|---|
| Tell you when something seems important. | Also asks how often. You pick the number of knocks a day, and two are kept for emergencies. |
| Build a picture of you from everything they read. | Learns from senders and subjects, not the text of your mail, and keeps only what you confirm. |
| Ask you to trust a closed service, or to run the code yourself. | Open source, so anyone can check what it does with your mail. Already running, so you don't have to. |
It's free on any phone or computer, and a bot there can write to you first with Send, Edit and Cancel buttons right in the chat. WhatsApp is on the way: first Peyk will read your WhatsApp the way it reads your mail, and later you'll be able to talk to it there.
Only the services you connect: your mail, calendar and documents. To get to know you it looks at senders, subjects and titles from the last 30 days, never the text of your mails, and asks before it keeps anything.
No. Mails and invites to other people wait for your tap, and an older button can't send a draft you changed since. When you ask, it does make things only you will see: a private event in your calendar, a page in your Notion, a doc in your Google Drive. You get the link.
Two of your daily knocks are kept for emergencies, and those come through quiet hours too. Anything that didn't knock is in your morning brief, and you can ask "anything new?" at any time.
ChatGPT mostly waits for you to ask. Peyk reads what comes in and comes to you, only as often as you allow. You can still ask it anything: who wrote, what's due, what's on the web.
Yes. Peyk is free and open source under the MIT license. The code is on GitHub, so you can read exactly what it does with your mail.
Message the bot. It introduces itself and asks who you are.
Your name and where you are. That sets your timezone, your budget and your own memory.
It sends a Google sign-in link and waits until the account is connected. Nothing is typed into the chat.
No commands. No passwords in chat. Anyone can message the bot; each person gets their own budget, memory and timezone.
Say hi to the bot. Two minutes later it's watching your inbox, and it won't knock until something matters.
Free and open source. Leaving takes one sentence.
