What Char does
Char is an AI notepad that aims to do the work after you write something down rather than just storing it. It captures notes and turns them into actionable items, drafts responses, and pulls in context so professionals can manage tasks, notes, and communications in one place.
Key capabilities
- Converts notes into tasks and follow-ups
- Drafts emails and documents and asks clarifying questions
- Meeting transcription without adding extra attendees
- Optional context connections to Slack, Gmail, and on-screen content
- Smart reminders for deadlines and collaborative editing
- Notes and context kept on-device by default, with user control over external sources
Who it's for
Char is aimed at managers, operators, and professionals juggling task lists, note apps, messages, and documents across fragmented tools. It targets that context fragmentation, treating a written note as the start of work rather than just another inbox. Char is in private beta and backed by Y Combinator.
