In short
Think of it as hiring an assistant rather than using an app
You create a helper for one job, log it into the accounts it needs, and message it like you’d text a coworker. The work happens on a computer in the cloud that stays on, and it comes back when the job is finished or when it needs you to decide something.
These aren’t chatbots you keep prompting. They keep going when your laptop is shut.

Four things to understand
What makes a helper different
- 01
It keeps working
The work happens on a computer in the cloud that stays on, not on your laptop. It keeps going when your laptop is shut.
- 02
You show it once
Do the job yourself one time while it watches. It remembers the steps and does it on its own from then on.
- 03
It comes back for decisions
It returns when the job is finished, or when it needs you to decide something. The real calls stay with you.
- 04
It runs on a schedule
Every weekday at seven, or whenever a certain kind of email lands. You can look back at what it did on any day.
