  • text: Small teams or independent professionals using connected inboxes, calendars and messaging; no company size requirement is stated.

message pillars

  • text: Delegate real-world follow-through, not just answers.
  • text: Bring connected tools and automations into one assistant.

objections

  • objection: Can I try it without paying?
    response: The published free plan has almost unlimited usage; Cloud Mac is a paid add-on.
  • objection: Will it make purchases without my consent?
    response: The pricing page says it checks first on actions not already requested or approved; review permissions before connecting accounts.
