Poppy is a San Francisco consumer AI startup building a proactive personal assistant that pays attention so you don't have to. By integrating calendar, email, messages, and location data, Poppy surfaces context-aware suggestions and reminders, such as recommending activities during free time, suggesting restaurants based on friends' preferences, tracking flights, and sending medication reminders, and it answers questions through a messaging interface. The product aims to reduce the constant mental overhead of managing a busy digital life by acting before the user has to ask. Founded by Sai Kambampati, Poppy raised $1.25M in pre-seed funding led by Kindred Ventures, with angels including DeepMind's Logan Kilpatrick. It targets consumers who want an assistant that anticipates needs rather than waiting for commands.
