The tool integrates with over 15 services including Gmail, Google Calendar, Notion, GitHub, Slack, and Microsoft 365, and is free to join with no credit card required.", "body_md": "Personal AI · Memory you own · Connected\n\n# Your AI that knows you.\n\nPresence remembers your conversations, keeps your notes, and thinks alongside you — across every session, every device.\n\nA personal AI assistant with lasting memory — it manages your email and calendar, connects the apps you use, and keeps what it learns as plain files in your own vault. Yours to read, correct or export.\n\nFree to join. No credit card. Nothing leaves without your say-so.\n\nWhy 1Presence\n\n## Not another chatbot.\n\nEvery other AI tool resets the moment you close the tab. No memory. No context. No continuity. You're always starting over, re-explaining, repeating yourself.\n\nPresence is different. It's a personal agent — yours alone — that carries your entire history, reads your notes, and grows with you over time.\n\nMemory\n\n## It remembers. You focus.\n\nMost AI resets the moment you close the tab. Presence builds a semantic memory across every conversation — projects, preferences, context, decisions. Ask about something from three weeks ago. It knows.\n\nVault\n\n## Your documents live here now.\n\nNot a notes feature — your master document store, above the drive folders and desktop copies. Every document opens right here with Presence beside it, so you edit, ask, and decide in one place. Everything you file feeds memory, so the vault gets smarter as it grows. And underneath, it's plain markdown in your own cloud — Obsidian-compatible, portable, yours.\n\nPayment falls due thirty days from invoice, with a two-percent early-settlement discount inside ten.\n\nEither party may end the agreement with sixty days’ written notice — ninety in the first year.\n\nLiability is capped at the fees paid in the preceding twelve months.\n\nConnected\n\n## Your tools, one conversation.\n\nPresence reaches across the tools you already use — email, calendar, files, and fifteen-plus services, from Gmail and Google Calendar to Notion, GitHub, Slack and Microsoft 365 — reading context and acting with your approval. Ask it to brief you before the Meridian call, and it pulls the calendar event, the email threads, the project notes and the Notion page into one two-minute brief.\n\n**Today, 14:00**— Meridian quarterly review, 45 min, their side brings three.\n\nWriting\n\n## It writes the things you need written.\n\nA marketing strategy. A sales pitch. The reply you've been avoiding. A first draft of an agreement. Presence already knows your work, your people and your voice — so what it produces reads like you wrote it, not like a template. Every piece lands as a note in your vault, ready to edit, keep, or share as a link.\n\nYour team is losing four hours a week to manual reconciliation. Last quarter’s numbers make the cost plain —\n\nhere is the plan to win those hours back, in three steps\n\nMeetings\n\n## Every meeting, remembered.\n\nHand Presence a meeting link — Meet, Zoom or Teams — and it sits in. What it leaves in your vault is the record you wish every meeting had: the transcript, a clean summary, the decisions made, and the action items with names against them. Connect your calendar and it attends everything, automatically.\n\nRoutines\n\n## Your week, running itself.\n\nThe recurring parts of your week run on their own — a morning brief waiting with your coffee, a Friday wrap-up that writes itself, a Monday report produced and ready for your eye. You describe the outcome in plain words; Presence works out the steps and runs them on schedule.\n\nYour agent\n\n## Private by design.\n\nEvery account gets its own agent — spun up on demand, isolated to you, never shared with anyone. Your data lives in your own cloud bucket, and nothing leaves it without your confirmation. And when one Presence isn't enough, grow it into a team of specialists — shaped, like everything here, by conversation.\n\nAnd more\n\n## And it keeps going.\n\n[DashboardsSee your data as living charts.Read more →](/docs/features/dashboards)\n\n[VoiceTalk to it hands-free.Read more →](/docs/features/voice)\n\n[Living recordsLists that keep themselves.Read more →](/docs/features/datasets)\n\n[Creator StudioImages, video, a cast that stays itself.Read more →](/docs/features/creator-studio)\n\n[Skills & KitsTeach it what you repeat.Read more →](/docs/features/skills)\n\n[SharingAny doc becomes a link or a shared editable copy.Read more →](/docs/features/sharing)\n\n[TeamsA shared Presence for your company.Read more →](/docs/features/teams)\n\n## Start your first\n\nconversation.\n\n1Presence is free to join.
