Getting Started

Imagine a personal AI assistant that lives where your life already happens: inside Telegram and WhatsApp. No new app to download, no dashboard to learn, no tab you forget to open. You just send a message, the way you already do a hundred times a day, and things get done.

That is Carae. It remembers what matters to you, watches your calendar, reads the web, drafts your replies, and nudges you at exactly the right moment. Think of it less as a chatbot and more as an AI to manage your life, one message at a time.

What Carae is

Carae is an ambient AI assistant in your messaging apps. It can:

  • Answer anything, with live web research when it needs fresh facts.
  • Remember the things you tell it and bring them back at the right moment.
  • Set natural-language reminders, including recurring ones.
  • Connect to your email and calendar, and to tools like Notion, Slack and Canva.
  • Run skills: small installable abilities, from a morning brief to a habit tracker.

There is nothing to install on your phone. If you can send a text, you can use Carae. Telegram works everywhere; WhatsApp is available for phone numbers in the European Economic Area.

Start your free trial

Every new account starts with a 14 day free trial of the plan you pick. Sign up at carae.ai/signup, choose Companion or Pro and your chat app, and add a card; your plan starts automatically after the 14 days unless you cancel first. Then tap the chat link on your dashboard or in your welcome email, and the conversation begins.

The trial includes everything your plan does, integrations and all, with a smaller daily allowance. Plans & Billing has the details.

Your first three asks

The fastest way to get it is to try it. Send these three messages in your first five minutes:

  1. "Remind me to call Mum every Sunday at six." One sentence, and a recurring reminder exists. No forms, no time pickers.
  2. "Find me three well reviewed pasta places near the city centre for Friday." Carae searches the live web and comes back with real options, not a shrug.
  3. "Connect my calendar." Tap the link Carae sends and sign in. Carae asks once before it sends you anything on a schedule; say yes, and from the next morning you wake up to a brief with your day already laid out.

From there it compounds. Teach it your world and it starts acting like it has known you for years. Later, you can voice-message it to handle your email for you. That story is on the next page.
