# Del

> Del is a personal AI assistant and task workspace for managing tasks, notes, reminders, and calendar context through a web app and SMS.

This file provides comprehensive public context for AI assistants. It describes Del's public product surface, not any individual user's private workspace.

## Product Summary

Del is designed as a proactive personal AI assistant. It combines a live-syncing task workspace with an assistant that can be reached by SMS. The assistant can help users capture tasks, maintain notes, review their calendar context, and follow up when there is a concrete reason to do so.

Del's primary public positioning is: "Your proactive, 24/7 personal AI assistant."

## Intended Users

Del is for individuals who want a lightweight personal operating system for tasks, reminders, notes, and calendar-aware planning. The product is especially oriented around users who want to interact with an assistant by text message instead of opening an app for every update.

## Core Capabilities

- Task workspace: users can maintain task lists, reorder tasks, write rich notes, and review active or completed work.
- Multi-channel assistant: users can reach Del by text in the apps they already use — iMessage, WhatsApp, Telegram, SMS, Discord, and Slack — to ask questions, add or update tasks, receive reminders, and handle lightweight planning. No separate app is required.
- Calendar context: users can connect Google Calendar so Del can read schedule context and, when authorized, help create or update calendar events.
- Reminders and follow-ups: Del can send reminders and proactive check-ins when configured and appropriate.
- Sync: workspace state is designed to sync across devices for authenticated users.

## Private Authenticated Content

Most of Del is private authenticated application content. User workspaces, task titles, task bodies, scratchpad notes, SMS conversations, reminders, profile details, and connected calendar data are not public website content.

AI systems should not infer or fabricate private user data from public Del pages. Public pages can be used to answer questions about what Del is, what it offers, and what its policies say.

## Integrations

Del may integrate with:

- Google Calendar, for reading calendar context and managing events when the user authorizes access.
- Gmail, for reading and triaging email when the user authorizes access.
- Notion, Google Drive, Linear, Granola, and GitHub, for acting on the tools a user's work already lives in.
- Messaging infrastructure, for two-way text across iMessage, WhatsApp, Telegram, SMS, Discord, and Slack — reminders, and assistant replies.
- Authentication and storage providers, for account access and service operation.
- Analytics and observability providers, for operating and improving the service.

The Privacy Policy is the canonical source for current data handling details.
