How Tether AI Works

The problem with today's AI assistants

Most AI assistants are reactive. You open ChatGPT, type a question, get an answer, and close the app. If you forget to ask, the task doesn't get done. There's no AI that works for you in the background — checking news, preparing summaries, or managing your schedule without being prompted.

Tether AI takes a different approach. It's a personal assistant that runs tasks autonomously and delivers results to your messages. You set it up once, and it shows up every day.

Getting started in 30 seconds

Sign up at trytether.ai with your Google account. Connect your messaging app. Start chatting. There's no self-hosting, no CLI, no technical setup. Your assistant is ready to go immediately.

You also get a dashboard where you can manage everything — set up routines, view and edit your agent's memory, customize its persona, review the full activity log, and configure your preferences. The dashboard is your control center; the messaging app is where the action happens.

Web search and summarization

Ask Tether AI anything and it searches the web in real time. Send it a link and it'll summarize the article for you. It pulls from current sources, so you always get up-to-date information — not answers trained on data from months ago.

Persistent memory

Unlike most AI assistants that forget everything between sessions, Tether AI remembers. Tell it about your projects, preferences, or goals, and it uses that context in every future conversation.

From the Memory page in your dashboard, you can see every fact your agent has learned about you — organized by category (preferences, facts, context). Edit anything, delete what you don't want it to know, or add new memories manually. Full control over what your agent knows.

Autonomous routines

This is where Tether AI is fundamentally different. You can set up recurring routines — tasks that the agent executes on a schedule without any prompting.

Examples: "Every weekday at 8am, check the latest AI news and send me a 3-bullet summary." "Every Monday at 9am, give me a focus plan for the week." "Every Friday at 5pm, send me a reflection on what I accomplished."

The agent actually does the research, writes the summary, and sends it to you. It's not a reminder — it's an autonomous task that runs while you sleep. You can create, edit, enable, and disable routines from the Routines page in your dashboard, and track each run with execution counts and timestamps.

Voice and image understanding

Send a voice message and Tether AI transcribes it and responds intelligently. Send a photo and it analyzes the content. No need to type everything — communicate the way that's most natural to you.

Full transparency

Every action Tether AI takes is logged in an activity feed you can review anytime. Web searches, memory saves, routine executions — it's all visible. You always know what your agent did and why. No black boxes.
