Magenta, a magenta plush toy with mismatched button eyes

Magenta

A personal assistant you text.

Magenta is a private assistant built by Yann Jaffrennou for personal use. It runs as a Telegram bot and helps with day-to-day life: reminders, remembering things, logging workouts and sleep, tracking days and trips, and checking the calendar to find free time or add events.

It is not a public service. Magenta only answers its owner and the few people the owner explicitly adds as contacts. Contacts can ask when the owner is available or leave a message; they never see anything else.

When Magenta is connected to a Google account, it reads calendar events to answer questions and find free slots, and, only where the owner allows it, creates events. How this data is handled is described in the privacy policy.
