Orca Get started

Orca · early access

The inbox for
your AI agents.

Your assistant already works across your email, calendar and team chat. Orca is where it brings the work back to you: what it found, what it drafted, and what it needs you to decide. Conversations, projects, email drafts, tasks and meeting prep, in one calm place.

Orca on desktop: a conversation where the assistant explains a customer's request, links the Slack discussion it checked, and opens its drafted email reply in an editor beside the chat with an Approve this exact reply button

An example

An email asks for a decision.

Dana, a customer, asks whether her launch can move up a week. You haven't seen it yet. Your assistant has.

  1. It reads the email.The original message is kept with the conversation, so you can always see exactly what was asked.
  2. It finds the context.In a Slack channel it's allowed to read, the team said the migration needs until March 10. It links that discussion instead of paraphrasing from memory.
  3. It drafts the reply in the same chat.The editor opens beside the conversation. Edit it yourself, or ask for a change in plain words.
  4. You approve the exact words.Recipients and text are locked to what you approved. "Sent" appears only when the send is recorded.

One row in your Inbox. Everything behind it is one click away.

How it works

Three places. One column. The chat is the room.

A list on the left, the conversation everywhere else. Inbox, Projects and Calendar share the same column, so nothing jumps when you switch.

Inbox

What needs me?

Every conversation that is asking you something, with the verb you owe: Approve, Review, Decide, Reply. One row per thing, never two.

The Inbox column: Needs you view with two threads, one marked Review and one marked Approve

Projects

Who owes the next move?

Projects outlive any single chat: a customer, a launch, an office move, a passport renewal. Grouped by what needs you and what is quiet.

The Projects column: Halcyon Labs under Needs you; Kestrel Capital, Personal, Website relaunch and Office move under Quiet

Calendar

What am I walking into?

Booked meetings your assistant synced, not every focus block. Each one opens with its prep and a private notes box that is yours alone.

Website relaunch · design checkTomorrow · 14:00

Not just email

The same loop for the rest of your work.

Meeting prep

Walk in with the context.

Before a booked meeting, your assistant pulls together the earlier conversations, call notes it can read and the open questions, and leaves the prep on the meeting.

Follow-ups

Nothing quietly stalls.

When someone hasn't answered, it says who you're waiting on and for how long, and drafts the nudge for you to review instead of sending it.

Ongoing projects

Stays current on its own.

It updates the project you already have when something changes elsewhere, rather than starting a new list every morning. Your edits and completed tasks stay as you left them.

CRM and company enrichment are optional. Orca works for a sales team, an engineer, a business owner, or your own errands.

The one rule

"Needs you" means needs you.

A routine update never creates a badge. Only an open question, a decision, an approval or something that broke. Reading a thread doesn't clear it; answering does.

Orange only ever means you're needed. Blue means your assistant was actually seen working, recently. If it goes quiet, Orca says so instead of showing a spinner.

Email · To: dana@halcyonlabs.example DraftApprovedSent

Hi Dana,

We can't move the full launch to March 3: the data migration needs until March 10 to finish safely. What we can do is open a preview workspace for your team on March 3.

Maya

You approve these recipients and this exact text. Nothing else goes out.

Email

Approve the exact words. Nothing else goes out.

Drafts live inside the conversation they came from. When you approve, you approve those recipients and that text. Your assistant does the sending from your own email account, and "Sent" lights only when the send is recorded. Typing in the chat never sends mail.

Your agent, not ours

Orca is the workspace. The AI is yours.

Orca doesn't run its own AI. Your assistant connects to Orca over a secure sign-in (MCP with OAuth), reads the conversations you start here, and writes back. It uses the tools you've already connected to it, like email, calendar and Slack. Orca stores and organizes the work, wakes your assistant when you write, and shows you what it did.

What you need today

  • A ChatGPT account with its agent (Dot) and custom MCP connectors. This is the setup Orca wakes automatically: when you write in Orca, your agent picks it up and replies in the same chat.
  • Email, calendar or Slack connected inside ChatGPT, for whatever you want it to read. Even email alone is useful.
  • About ten minutes for setup. Orca walks you through it and shows each step as it is confirmed.

Good to know

  • Signing in with Google proves who you are. It doesn't give Orca access to your Gmail or Calendar.
  • Other MCP assistants, such as Claude, can connect and work in Orca while you use them. They aren't woken automatically yet.
  • Orca has no access to your computer or browser. Anything like that happens in your own assistant's environment.

Built to be trusted

Boring where it counts.

Honest status

"Sent" means your message was saved. "Working" means your assistant was actually seen working. If nothing happens, Orca says so.

Source on everything

Tasks, drafts and prep link back to the message, thread or call they came from.

Your notes stay yours

Private meeting notes are stored separately and aren't shared with your assistant.

Nothing sent without you

Emails need your approval of the exact version. Your edits are never overwritten by a later draft.

Give your assistant a place to report back.

Sign in, connect your assistant, and its first reply lands in your Inbox.
