01
Takes the note
Say what was agreed while it is still fresh. The note is dated and attached to the client it concerns.
- “Note that Miller wants the quote by Friday”
- No typing, no forms
AI secretary
An AI secretary that writes it down while you get on with the day.
An AI secretary is software that does the record-keeping part of a secretary's job: it takes notes, keeps the calendar, tracks what needs doing and remembers who said what. Hey Alix does this through conversation. You say what happened, it reads the change back, and after your “yes” it is on file.
02
Keeps the calendar
Meetings go into the calendar inside your panel, created from one spoken sentence and moved the same way.
- “Book me with Mrs. Fox on Thursday at ten”
- “Move the meeting to four”
03
Tells you what's on
Ask about today or tomorrow and it reads out your meetings and tasks in order.
- “What's on today?”
- Meetings and tasks together
04
Remembers who said what
Every client has a history. Ask where things stand before you pick up the phone or walk in.
- “Where did we leave things with the Greens?”
- Facts worth keeping: “she prefers email”
What a secretary actually does for you
Strip away the job title and a good secretary does four things. They write down what was said so you do not have to. They keep your calendar. They tell you each morning what the day holds. And they remember — which client asked for what, who is still waiting, what you promised last month.
Most people who run their own work have never had that help. The notes live in their head, on receipts and in a phone app they stopped opening. An AI secretary covers the same four jobs for one person, without a salary or a desk.
How it works in Hey Alix
You open Hey Alix in the browser on your phone or computer, start a conversation and talk the way you would to a person. “I was at the Carters' — they want the quote by Friday, and on Thursday at ten I'll bring the contract.” From that one sentence the assistant prepares a note on the Carters, a task due Friday and a meeting on Thursday.
Before saving, it reads all of it back. You say yes, correct a detail or cancel. Nothing is written silently, and every saved change sits in a log where you can undo it — even a client you deleted by mistake.
A secretary with your name on it
You decide what your secretary is called and which voice it speaks with. You also write its rules in plain words: always ask for a due date, keep answers short, call clients by their last name. It follows them in every conversation.
You can upload files too. Give it your price list and it will answer “what do we charge for an annual service?” from that document rather than from guesswork.
What it does not do
Hey Alix does not answer your phone. It is not a receptionist and it never talks to your customers for you — it talks only to you. If you need calls picked up while you are busy, that is a different kind of service.
It also does not read, write or send email. It will happily note that you owe Mrs. Fox a reply and set a task for it, but the reply is yours to write. And it does not sit in on meetings to record or transcribe other people. It knows what you tell it and what you upload.
Available today, and what is planned
Today Hey Alix runs in the browser with nothing to install; you need a microphone and an internet connection. The assistant speaks and the panel works in English and Polish. Access is early, through a waitlist, and pricing has not been announced.
Three things are planned and not yet available: apps for iOS and Android, reminders where the assistant speaks up on its own when something is due, and hands-free calls to the assistant through CarPlay.
Questions
Software that handles the record-keeping side of a secretary's work: taking notes, keeping a calendar, tracking tasks and remembering client history. In Hey Alix you do all of it by talking.
Hey Alix cannot. It does not answer calls or speak to your customers. It is a secretary for you: it takes down what you tell it and answers your questions about your own records.
No. Hey Alix does not read, write or send email. It can set a task such as “reply to Mrs. Fox by Wednesday” so the email is not forgotten.
It reads every change back before saving and waits for your “yes”. Saved changes are listed in a log, and each one can be undone.
No. It runs in the browser on your phone and computer. You need a microphone and an internet connection. Phone apps are planned.
