Fewer things to think about. More life to live.A personal assistant that lightens your mental load

Paperwork, follow-ups, appointments: Gus carries the everyday mental load. It observes, prepares and acts for you — and always asks for your approval when it matters.

The repeated gesture

Why does the mental load keep piling up?

A form to send back, a reminder to chase, an appointment buried in an email: one at a time, none of it is hard. It’s the accumulation that weighs — and the repeated effort of keeping it all in mind, for fear of forgetting.

Gus takes that effort off your hands. For work, that’s the job of ir.: everything in one place.

Before / after

What does Gus actually change?

Before

An ordinary Tuesday

  1. An email confirms a doctor’s appointment.
  2. It slips under the rest of the day’s messages.
  3. On the day, the appointment is forgotten.

After

The same Tuesday, with Gus

  1. Gus spots the appointment in the email.
  2. It adds it to your calendar, with the address.
  3. On the day, it tells you when to leave.

How far can Gus act on its own?

Gus works in three beats: it observes what comes in, prepares what needs doing, then acts when it’s simple and safe.

Three things, however, never happen without you: spending beyond the set budget, signing up to a contract, handling sensitive matters. Gus stops and asks.
