Town is the unusually helpful AI assistant. It learns how you work, not the other way around: your voice, your people, your patterns. It works where you do, across email, calendar, docs, and messages. It drafts your replies, handles your scheduling, and builds routines for the work you repeat. The more it learns, the more it does on its own, so your time goes to the work only you can do.o big ideas.
Town
I'm Tony, co-founder and CPO of Town. This is the third(!) time I've taken a run at the same idea: an AI that works alongside you. The first was Navigator, which we launched here on Product Hunt back in 2019. The second was at Google, where my team built an AI teammate we demoed on stage at I/O '23. Each time we got closer, but the tech or the timing wasn't there. It is now!
For years the AI race has been about who's most powerful. But for most people AI is still a privilege: it rewards the ones willing to learn prompting, workflows, connectors, MCPs, API keys. Everyone else gets a chat box and a "good luck." We built Town to go the other way around: it learns from the work you've already done and starts doing the work the way you would.
A few things people have actually done with their Townie:
- A CFO drafted 120 individualized investor emails in an afternoon.
- A CPA and working mom cut her busy-season hours from 80 to 60 — Town handled client research and emails, and her kids' school calendars.
- A nonprofit director processes grant requests that arrive as handwritten notes in foreign languages, photographed on a phone. Town translates, transcribes, summarizes, and files them before his first coffee. "It's like having another employee and a half."
- A founder who observes Shabbat mentioned his Friday offline pattern once, in passing. Town built him a Saturday-night briefing without being asked.
No two Townies are alike, because no two people are. It works for you, just you — private, with approval-required defaults, per-action controls, and a full audit log of everything it does on your behalf.
Jean-Denis Greze (my co-founder) and I will both be in the comments all day. Bring your hard questions and your wishlist!
@tonydevincenzi the shabbat story is the one that stuck with me. he mentioned it once in passing and it just built around that. thats the part thats hardest to design for, picking up on something the person didnt explicitly ask you to act on and getting it right without overstepping. genuine question: how does town decide when to act on something it picked up vs just filing it away? that line between proactive and presumptuous feels like the hardest design call in this space.
