PenPaper AI — our own AI agent product, live at penpaperai.com

A personal agent that remembers, follows up and acts with permission: across web, desktop, mobile and WhatsApp, in India's languages.

  • Reads your mail, bills and statements and turns them into reminders and records
  • Follows up on its own: due dates, renewals, appointments and school messages
  • Acts with your permission — pays, books and fills forms only when you allow it
  • Works on web, Mac, Windows, Android, iPhone and WhatsApp, in India's languages

Testimonials

They came back and told us the assessment would show we did not need the platform we had budgeted for. That call cost them the bigger project and is exactly why we kept working with them.
Priya RamanCTO, Northwind LogisticsAI readiness assessment
The architecture review named three decisions we would not be able to reverse cheaply. Two of them we had already made. Better to hear it in week two than in month nine.
Daniel OkaforVP Engineering, HarborlineArchitecture review
Four candidates, each with written evidence per competency, and they argued for the one we would not have shortlisted ourselves. She is now the strongest engineer on the team.
Marta LindqvistHead of Engineering, Aperture HealthPermanent placement
We inherited a codebase nobody would sign off on. The due diligence gave us a number for fixing it and a number for living with it, which is what the board actually needed.
James WhitfieldCTO, LedgerpointTechnical due diligence
Two engineers embedded in our sprints inside a month. Three quarters on, both are still here and neither has been swapped out — which is not what we had come to expect from offshore.
