Welcome to Toby
Toby is an AI assistant for organizing and summarizing work across integrations like Email, Todoist, Slack, Jira, and Apple Calendar. It runs as a terminal CLI and a native macOS app, all backed by the same daemon and core harness.
It combines:
- Integrations — connect services and use them from chat
- Personas — shape how the assistant prioritizes and responds
- Skills — reusable task instructions Toby applies when relevant
- Memories — durable context Toby remembers across sessions
- Schedules — recurring prompts that run automatically
- App surfaces — chat and configuration from the terminal or the native macOS app
