Catch has launched an AI administrative assistant that works the inbox, runs the calendar, and places phone calls on behalf of executives, announcing a seed round alongside the release. It costs $ 99 a month, includes a 10-day trial, and signs in through a Google or Microsoft account.

The category it enters is crowded with tools that stop one step short. They flag a double booking, draft a reply, or produce a morning brief, then return the work to the person who wanted it gone. Catch is built to close the loop. It emails the other side to move a meeting, sends the reply once intent has been confirmed in a sentence, and places outbound calls in the account holder's name.

Voice is where the product separates from the field. Catch dials restaurants, clinics, hotels, airlines, and suppliers, navigates automated menus until a person picks up, and delivers a summary and full transcript once the call ends. It speaks in its own voice, identifies itself as software calling on someone's behalf, and dials only on instruction. The line runs inbound too, with Catch ringing through a hands-free walkthrough of the day's schedule, taking decisions out loud, then acting on them after the hangup.

There is no app to install. Catch operates through Slack, WhatsApp, iMessage, email, and phone, and connects to Google Calendar and Outlook, Zoom and Google Meet, Notion, HubSpot, Asana, ClickUp, Todoist, and meeting recorders including Granola, Otter, and Fireflies. A free scheduling concierge named Uta sits outside the subscription entirely, copied onto any email thread without an account, working with each participant separately by email or text before returning the calendar invite.

Business travel is the least finished piece. It runs as a beta for selected customers, shortlisting flights and hotels against a stated budget and meeting schedule, rechecking fares and cancellation terms, and booking only after explicit approval. Fares requiring passport or identity documents are unsupported. The company reports SOC 2 Type II compliance, CASA Tier-2 certification and Google verification, and counts over 5,000 meetings scheduled, 20,000 tasks delegated and 200,000 emails handled to date.
