How Poppy Works

Users can connect various services to Poppy's app, such as email, calendar, and location. Poppy then uses this data to provide suggestions, such as taking a break to go for a walk or suggesting restaurants based on a friend's food preferences.

  • Works with everyday apps like Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, Gmail, Outlook, and more
  • Integrates with apps like Uber and Instacart
  • Users can message Poppy with questions or requests
  • Poppy can track flights and alert users to changes

Security and Future Plans

Poppy's maker, Sai Kambampati, emphasizes data security, with encryption and a zero-retention policy. The company plans to switch to local, on-device AI models in the future.

Funding and Team

Poppy's San Francisco-based team of four is backed by $1.25 million in pre-seed funding led by Kindred Ventures, with various angels participating, including DeepMind's Logan Kilpatrick.
