Your Personal AI Representative for calls, email, and tasks

Most AI waits inside a chat. Zinley is reachable by you and the people around you. With its own phone number and email, it answers calls, handles email, books things, and gets work done within your rules. It remembers your people and relationships, then reports back in your language. Not another chatbot. A second you that shows up.

Hey Product Hunt 👋
Maker here.
Most AI waits in a chat box. We built the opposite.
Zinley is your personal extension — own phone number, email, and computer. It answers calls, handles email, books stuff, follows up, and gets work done inside your rules. Remembers your people. Reports back in your language.
Not another chatbot. We extend you so the people around you can actually reach “you” when you’re busy.
Curious what you’d hand off first — and what would make you trust an AI with your number and inbox.
Here all day. Roast us.

The "people call it, not your personal line" framing is a good trust argument, but it cuts both ways. When Zinley answers a call, does the person on the other end get told upfront they're talking to an AI, or does it just present itself as reachable the way you would be? A few US states already require that disclosure for AI phone agents, worth having a clear answer to that before launch rather than after.
Zinley
@raffay_sajjad Yes. Zinley discloses this at the start of the call. For example: “Hi, you’ve reached Minh’s line. I’m Ming, Minh’s AI representative.”
Zinley has its own name, email and phone number, and thus it doesn't have to pretend to be you but rather show up as your AI representative. The goal is to represent you clearly and transparently, while still making the interaction feel natural :>

It has its own name, email, and number — so it doesn’t pretend to be you. It shows up as your AI rep, clearly and transparently, while still keeping the call natural.

Congrats on the launch. Is there an analytics dashboard showing which tasks Zinley saved you the most time on each week? That will help determine true value of the product.
Zinley
@krutiparekh16 Thank you, that’s a great suggestion. Today, Overview shows what Zinley handled, what’s still in motion, and where you need to step in. It doesn’t yet break that down into weekly time saved by task, but that would make the value much more highlighted. We’d love to explore a deeper analytics view around exactly this.
Zinley
@krutiparekh16 Thanks — solid suggestion. Overview already shows what Zinley handled, what’s still moving, and where you need to step in. It doesn’t break out weekly time-saved by task yet, but that would make the value way clearer. Deeper analytics on exactly this is high on our list.
The overall product looks interesting, but i wonder what is on the back? I to be honest against the idea that agents are deterministic, so how you are auditing backend ? how you are keeping the agentic system sane?
Zinley
@arshad_talpur Agents aren’t fully deterministic — that’s the real problem. We keep Zinley sane with hard rails, not vibes:
explicit user rules + allow/deny scopes
confirm before irreversible/external actions (send, book, pay, call out)
full action log + audit trail of what it did and why
human-in-the-loop when confidence is low or the decision is yours
Backend isn’t “trust the model.” It’s constrained execution + observability. Happy to go deeper on any piece.
@kn1026 May be next time we go deeper on this , because this is my area of work, but for now solution is Awesome , and Wish you great success, Upvoting done
the boundary question above got answered in terms of actions. who is asking, what permissions, whether it creates a new commitment. what that does not cover is the assertions.
is minh free on thursday. did he agree to the earlier price. has he seen my email. none of those create a commitment and all of them pass a permission check, but a wrong answer is a statement of fact about you that the other person then acts on. the risk sits in what it claims about you, not in what it does.
we run voice agents on the support side and the pattern is the same there, the wrong answer never sounds wrong. a call makes it harder, because there is no undo and no re-reading. in email a wrong sentence sits in the thread and you can correct it. on a call the other person hangs up with a belief and you never find out which one they left with.
so the thing i would want tuned is not the autonomy slider, it is what it is allowed to say when it does not know. "he has not told me" is fine. inferring from history that you probably agreed is where it goes wrong, and it will sound equally confident either way.
what does ming say today when someone asks a direct question about you that it has no record of?
Congratulations on your launch. From a fellow founder's perspective, it must be an incredible amount of work and hours of coding to bring the world an "AI secretary" to answer calls and emails. I have a few questions about privacy as I could not find your privacy policy. Do you give consent (disclaimers) to callers that conversation is being recorded? What is your solution to a single source of compromise since zinley gets deep access to email clients? and finally zinley booking things, sending emails, and answering calls autonomously means mistakes may be unchecked or possibly prompt-injection manipulation attacks are likely; what guardrails/audit trail exist for irreversible actions?

I was wondering about its boundaries, how does Zinley decide when to handle a request itself versus asking for your approval first?
Zinley
@iamanantgupta There’s a setting that lets you choose whether Zinley should be more autonomous or more careful with these decisions. Beyond that, it considers who is asking, your relationship and history with that person, what you’ve allowed Zinley to share or do on your behalf, and whether the request fits within the rules you’ve set. If the person is unfamiliar, the request goes beyond those permissions, or it would create a new commitment, Zinley asks you first.
