Kiwi

What makes it different

Kiwi is a proactive assistant that texts you first. It keeps track of what is coming up, your trips, plans, bills and the people in them, and messages you at the right moment on iMessage or WhatsApp, instead of waiting for you to ask.

When something needs doing, it does it when you say yes: a free Saturday afternoon becomes a planned day with the kids, a delayed flight gets checked in with a ride home booked, and a free evening turns into a dinner booking somewhere you will like. It works with your calendar and email, and asks before it spends. Kiwi is free, built by founder Aneesh Modi, who frames it as the answer to phones that keep pulling us back to the screen for every flight, bill, reply and plan.
