Idan AI docs.

Overview

Idan AI is a personal assistant that lives on your Android phone. It helps you in direct chat, and also keeps an eye on background events like missed calls, new messages, emails, alarms, and daily shortcuts.

Idan is built on a simple rule: it uses your phone's built-in shortcuts first to be fast and secure, and only taps the screen when absolutely necessary.

Capabilities

• Smart conversational AI that knows how to use your phone.
• Integrates with WhatsApp, Gmail, YouTube, Google Docs/Sheets, your calendar, and search.
• Reads notifications and emails, and drafts automatic replies for you.
• Finds contact details, checks missed calls, and starts calls.
• Opens apps, changes settings, and checks battery or storage status.
• Listens to voice commands through your phone's microphone.
• Schedules and runs automated tasks quietly in the background.
• Looks at your screen to tap buttons on tricky apps.

Architecture

Idan works using these key building blocks:

• Actions: Handling contacts, phone calls, messages, emails, apps, settings, and calendars.
• Triggers: Listening for new messages, emails, missed calls, set times, and your commands.
• Planner: Managing one-time or recurring tasks and scheduling routines.
• Memory: Remembering your favorite contacts, rules, habits, and active goals.
• Safety: Making sure you stay in control of what the assistant is allowed to do.

Idan connects directly to your phone's calls, messages, emails, and settings. In the future, it will run as a quiet background service so it can help you even when the main app is closed.

Safety and Autonomy

Idan has four security levels to ensure you are always in control:

• observe: Listens and keeps track of updates.
• suggest: Recommends ideas without making any changes.
• draft: Writes out messages or plans actions for you to approve first.
• execute: Takes action automatically when you've already given permission.

Sensitive actions (like sending messages or emails, making phone calls, spending money, or sharing files and location) will always ask for your explicit approval first, unless you have specifically set up a rule to automate them.

Roadmap

• A background assistant that stays active even when you close the app.
• Smart queueing to handle incoming tasks while you are away.
• Faster and more secure background controls.
• A shared diary to remember preferences and track what actions were taken.
• iPhone support, coming as soon as Apple opens up more assistant controls.
