A letter from our founder
Hi, I'm Gavin.
For a long time, I asked myself the same question at the end of every day: what did I actually get done? I'd sat through several meetings and answered message after message, yet the one thing I really wanted to move forward had barely moved.
I tried weekly reviews, but I couldn't say where my time had gone.
I tried plenty of note-taking apps and meeting recorders, too. Either I forgot to turn them on, or, when I went back to look, my notes were scattered across different places and I could never find everything. And sometimes an idea would strike, but by the time I took out my phone to write it down, it was gone.
So I built Ashley, to solve my own problem first.
She listens alongside me, recognizes who said what, and turns each conversation into a card: what was decided, what happens next, and the exact words, ready to look up. When I want to know what I agreed to, I just ask her, and she tells me when I said it and to whom.
She shows me where my time went each day and each week, and how much of it went to the few things I care about most. She pieces together the full story of each focus item for me, automatically.
I've also connected her to the AI tools I use every day. Weekly reports, meeting notes and client follow-up emails are now written from real conversations, without explaining the background again and again. She remembers it better than I do.
I no longer worry about forgetting things, and I can put my energy into what really matters. That's why I built Ashley: Ashley remembers. You focus.
That said, handing your memory to Ashley doesn't mean handing over your judgment. Knowing when to listen means respecting the people around you. Before you start listening, please let them know and get their consent. It's something I hope every Ashley user will do, and our page for the people around you can help you explain.
If you'd like to try her, I'd love to hear how it goes. Tell me when she helped, where she made things harder, or what you wish she could do. Write to me at:
Thank you for giving Ashley a try. I hope she takes a few things off your mind, so you have more time and energy for the life you care about.

What we believe
Conversations deserve to be remembered
Decisions made in a meeting, a promise to a client, a passing reminder from family: none of it should disappear when the day ends. Ashley captures it, line by line.
Time should be visible
When you can see where your time goes, you can put your energy into what truly matters.
Your memory should work harder for you
Want to recall something? Just ask Ashley. Or connect the AI assistant you already use and get more out of everything you remember.
Trust comes from restraint and transparency
Ashley listens only when you turn her on. Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest, you can delete it at any time (what we keep afterwards), and we explain every practice openly. See our Privacy Policy and data sharing page for details.
