Fetch

Give him the boring stuff. He brings it back done.

Go on. Throw it.

9:00 AM · Why Benji

Most assistants talk. Benji fetches.

Ask a chatbot for a table and you get a list of restaurants. Ask Benji and you get the table. He works on his own computer in the cloud, sees the errand through, and checks in with you before anything that matters.

BENJI

Osteria Fiamma has a window table at 7:30. Book it?

yes

Booked. It's in your calendar, and Sam knows.

Done, and he checked

He does the errand, not the homework.

Tables, returns, refunds, forms and appointments, done in a real browser or on the phone. You get the result, not a list of links.

He asks first.

Before he pays, books, or sends anything in your name. Each check-in says exactly what will happen, and you answer with Face ID or Touch ID.

Done means done.

If he says it's booked, it's booked: he checks the result himself. If it didn't work, he tells you, and why.

He waits so you don't.

On hold, on a price, on a reply. He keeps watch for days, keeps quiet at night, and only taps you when it matters.

Yours alone.

One Benji per person, on his own machine, kept apart from everyone else's.

Where you already are.

iMessage and Signal, plus apps for Mac and iPhone. Start on your phone, finish on your Mac.

All day · What he fetches

One dog. A lot of tricks.

Text him, talk to him, or open the app. If it takes a browser, a phone call, an email or a little patience, he can probably fetch it.

Tables and appointments

Restaurants, dentists, haircuts, the DMV. He books in a real browser, and stays signed in only if you say so.

Shopping and price drops

He compares, then watches the price for days. When it drops, he asks before he buys.

Returns and refunds

He finds the order, fills in the form, gets the label and chases the refund.

Calls for you

He calls businesses, says up front that he's an AI, and sticks to what you approved.

Post

A private address for every site at benjipost.com, with the trackers taken out of every mail.

Gmail drafts

He writes the reply and leaves it in your drafts. You press send.

Your calendar

He finds a time, adds the event and moves it when plans change, with your OK.

Benji-to-Benji

Your Benji and a friend's settle the plan between them, signed and sealed. You both just say yes.

Build

Describe an app in plain words. He builds it, shows it to you live, and sends it to the family through TestFlight.

Your Mac, too

In the Mac app he can work in your own apps when you ask, while you watch.

Quick answers

Weather, transit, flights and places, for wherever you're asking about.

Voice notes

Talk instead of typing. Send a voice note and he can answer out loud.

3:10 PM · Afternoon

His Benji called your Benji.

Benji sorts out dinner with Sam's Benji, so nobody texts “what works for you?” eleven times. He asks you before anything is booked.

6:40 PM · Evening

At last, a dog who brings the mail.

Every site gets its own address, three random words long. Yours stays yours: johnsmith@benjipost.com. Benji reads the post, takes out the trackers and tells you what matters. If a site passes your address on, he sniffs it out.

Drag the seal to open your post

10:15 PM · Night

Some things stay between you and the dog.

One switch in the Benji apps, and Signal is private all the time. He thinks with private models that keep nothing, browses through an anonymized one that never learns who's asking, and keeps what you say in its own locked store.

Private mode: what you say here stays in your private store.

Roughly $21,000, before health insurance. That stays between us.

11:50 PM · Late

He builds things while you sleep.

Describe an app in plain words. Benji builds it on his own computer, shows it to you live, and asks before anything goes out. The family photo app for Mom's party took him one evening. No code, no jargon.

Ask for a change. He'll show you before and after.

12:00 AM · Privacy

Private by default. Even more private on demand.

Benji has to know a lot to be useful, so we built him to keep as little as possible. Standard Benji is already private. Private mode is the extreme version.

Standard · every day

Private already.

Sealed on the way in.

Your messages are sealed to your own Benji. The relay that carries them keeps nothing.

His own machine.

Every Benji runs alone, with his own encrypted storage. Backups are encrypted before they leave.

Zero data retention.

Every model call goes out on a zero-data-retention route. The model company keeps nothing and trains on nothing.

A browser that forgets.

Recording and logging are off in his browser, and each session is closed when the errand is done.

Nothing in our logs.

Our logs hold counts and timings, never what you wrote.

A memory you can read.

Ask what he knows about you. Tell him to forget anything.

Private mode · the extreme version

For the hard questions.

Private models.

He thinks with private, open models that run with zero data retention by contract. Nothing is kept after the answer.

An anonymized browser.

When he needs a browser, the frontier model steering it gets the task, never your name, account or address. It can't tell who's asking.

A locked store.

What you say in private goes into its own store, apart from everything else he knows.

Signal, or one switch.

Signal is always private. In the Mac and iPhone apps it's one switch, on every device at once.

No calls, no cards.

Some things need your name and number. Those wait for standard Benji.

No ads.Never sold.Never used to train AI.Delete it all, and get a receipt.

Any time · Your turn

Throw him something.

This one's a demo. The real Benji is by invitation, soon.
