New Kiwi

Kiwi is an “proactive” AI assistant that operates in the opposite way to most chatbots that wait for you to ask questions: it takes the initiative to reach out to you first. When you communicate with it via iMessage or WhatsApp, it connects to your calendar and email accounts, keeps track of your appointments, bills, responses, and other personal details, and then sends you messages at the right time.

The examples provided on the official website are very practical and relatable to everyday life: for instance, if it discovers that you have free time on Saturday afternoon, it may ask you if you would like to arrange something to do with your child; if a flight is delayed, it can help you with check-in procedures and arrange transportation after you arrive at your destination; or if you request it to monitor a certain situation, it will notify you immediately whenever there are any changes. A key rule is “ask you before spending money” – consent will always be sought before making a purchase or booking anything.

It’s available for free and is compatible with both iPhone and Android devices. It is ideal for people who have a lot to do and often forget things. It’s important to note that this app requires access to your email and calendar. Users who are concerned about their privacy should carefully review the scope of the permissions granted before using it.
