Town: An AI assistant that learns your work patterns and automates tasks across email, calendar, and messages
By
Jean-Denis Greze
Looks the part, but the middle's still raw. Chew with caution.
Summary
Town is an AI assistant that learns how an individual works—their voice, contacts, and patterns—and integrates across email, calendar, docs, and messages to automate replies, scheduling, and repetitive routines. Co-founder Tony describes this as his third attempt at building an AI that works alongside users, following Navigator (2019) and a project at Google demoed at I/O '23. The product aims to make AI accessible beyond prompting and technical setup, adapting to the user rather than requiring the user to adapt to the AI.
Key quotes
· 3 pulledFor years the AI race has been about who's most powerful. But for most people AI is still a privilege: it rewards the ones willing to learn prompting, workflows, connectors, MCPs, API keys.
The more it learns, the more it does on its own, so your time goes to the work only you can do.
Each time we got closer, but the tech or the timing wasn't there. It is now!
