A personal CRM with an executive assistant’s instincts
Your morning brief
One glance: what needs you now, today, this week — ranked by urgency and who it's for, each with a why. When nothing needs you, Joe says so.
Remembers who matters
Birthdays, preferences, promises, when you last spoke. Tell Joe once — "Mom loves historical fiction" — and it comes back at the right moment.
Tell Joe anything
Type it like you'd say it: "rent is 18K, due Saturday". Speak it, share a link, or drop in a screenshot. Joe files it in the right place — and takes corrections.
Drafted, never sent
Follow-ups, birthday wishes, thank-yous — written in your voice and handed to WhatsApp or Mail. You always hit send.
Forward a bill, get a Pay button
Forward any bill or statement from your own email to joe@joehukum.app. The amount and due date land in Money, with a Pay button when the bill carries one. Password-protected statement? Add the password once and future bills unlock automatically. Receipts clear the matching due, so paid never nags.
Briefs on your clock
"Every morning at 8, the top 3 stories in AI." Joe does the research on schedule and delivers it — you don't have to remember to ask.
Joe keeps watch
A price, a fare, a restock, a visa slot. Joe re-checks on a cadence and pings you the moment it crosses your line — and stays quiet until it does.
Ask about the world
Joe searches the live web and answers with sources — prices, places, opening hours, what happened today.
The right app, one tap
Cake, flowers, a cab, the pharmacy, directions, a call — suggestions land as buttons that open the right app with the details already filled in.
Trust is the product
You're never the product — we don't sell your data or your attention. Joe never asks for inbox access: forwarded mail is read once, extracted, and the copy deleted. Google Calendar is optional and read-only, used solely to prepare you for your own meetings. Contact matching happens on your phone; your address book is never uploaded. Your data stays yours.
Signing in with Apple or Google shares only your name and email — nothing else. No ads, no tracking, no data brokers. Details in our Privacy Policy; delete your account and everything in it anytime, in-app or from this page.
Questions people ask
Does Joe read my email?
No — and not as a promise. As a permission we never asked for.
Sign in with Google and Joe requests your name and email, plus read-only Calendar if you want meeting prep. That is all that is on the consent screen — there is no Gmail scope there, so there is no inbox access to grant, revoke, or take our word about. Check it yourself when you sign in.
What Joe sees is what you forward to your own Joe address. It is read once, the amount and the due date are pulled out, and the copy is binned — gone for good within thirty days. We keep the extract, not your mail. Set one Gmail filter to auto-forward just your billers: one setup, and then it fills itself, with a scope you drew.
How is this different from ChatGPT or Claude with Gmail and Calendar connected?
They are built to answer questions. Joe is built to keep books.
Ask a chat assistant whether that receipt settles last year’s premium and you will get a plausible answer. Joe treats both emails as one obligation, marks it settled, and stops asking. That is a different kind of correctness, and it is the one that matters when it is money.
Joe also works when you are not there. It checks through the day and comes to you with a brief — at most six things that need you today, each carrying the reason it is on the list — then hands you the finished move: the message drafted in your words, your biller’s own Pay page, the contact’s number ready to dial.
We use the same models everyone else does. We are not claiming a smarter AI. It is a different job: a chat assistant is a tool you pick up, and Joe keeps track while you are doing something else.
I already have Claude. Why would I need this?
Keep it — they do not compete, and we would rather you used both.
Ask it what is due this week and it will tell you: if you remember to ask, and if the answer was sitting in the mailbox you connected rather than in an SMS, a portal notice or a forwarded WhatsApp. Joe told you on Tuesday morning, and put the Pay button in the message.
And honestly — if you are already on top of everything and you just want a sharper tool to think with, you do not need Joe.
Why not just use Reminders, Calendar or my notes app?
You should, and Joe will not copy them. The rule we build by: if a screen only echoes an app you already have, we cut it. Medicine alarms and grocery lists belong in Reminders.
What none of them do is connect things. A calendar cannot tell you an action item from July’s review never came up in August’s. A notes app cannot notice the renewal that did not arrive.
Will Joe send or pay anything for me?
Never. Joe prepares; you send. Every nudge ends in something drafted and waiting — a message in your words, your biller’s own Pay page, a calendar event — and nothing leaves your phone until you tap it. Joe does not process payments and never will.
What if Joe gets something wrong?
When Joe is unsure — a new commitment, a likely duplicate, a meeting’s action item — it proposes rather than does, so a mis-read costs you one Dismiss instead of a wrong reminder. Bills file straight in so nothing urgent waits on a confirmation, and a wrong one dismisses just as fast. Merges are reversible, a bill you delete can come back, and the items on your brief carry the reason they are there — so you can check the reasoning rather than trust it.
Do I have to connect any accounts?
No. Calendar is optional and read-only, and it stays close to its job: prepping you for your meetings, noting who you actually met so the right people resurface, and catching birthdays from your birthdays calendar. Everything else reaches Joe the way you choose — forward an email, type it, say it, share a link from any app, or send a screenshot.
Who is JoeHukum for — and who is it not for?
It is for people squeezed for time who could use an assistant but cannot justify a real one — not on cost, and not on utility either, because the need is real but part-time while the hire is all-or-nothing. Usually that is someone whose personal and work admin land in the same inbox: people to keep up with, bills, renewals that appear out of nowhere, follow-ups they meant to send.
It is not for everyone. If you have one calendar, one inbox, nothing that renews and nobody who owes you anything, Joe will not have much to do. And if you want a shared to-do system for a team, this is not that — Joe is single-user by design, and your data is yours alone.
