What is Navi?
Think of Navi as a chief of staff who lives in your browser. You tell it what you want done, and it goes and does it — on your calendar, in Notion, in Linear, wherever your work lives.
If you've used ChatGPT, you already know half the story. Navi is also an AI you chat with. But ChatGPT just talks. It can't actually put an event on your calendar, update your Notion page, or file a Linear issue for you.
Navi can. That's the whole idea.
Who Navi is for
If most of your day is spent inside a browser — hopping between meetings, keeping project trackers up to date, writing documents, coordinating with coworkers — Navi is built for you.
You don't need to be technical. You don't need to write code, "prompts," or "workflows." If you can type what you want in a sentence, you can use Navi.
A simple example
Suppose you're about to start your day and want to know what's on fire. With Navi, you open the chat and type:
Navi reads your calendar, checks your Notion and Linear for anything recent from the attendees, and writes back a short briefing per meeting. If you tell it to draft prep notes into a Notion page, it does that next — ready for you to review before anything is saved.
Every action that touches your real accounts asks for your approval first. Navi doesn't schedule, save, or change anything without you saying yes.
What Navi can actually do
Navi connects to the tools you already use:
- Google Calendar: schedule meetings, check availability across attendees, reschedule, prep for what's next.
- Google Docs, Sheets, Slides: create and edit documents, update spreadsheets, build slide decks.
- Notion: search, create, and update pages; read and write database entries.
- Linear: create, update, and comment on issues; track cycles and projects.
- Asana: manage tasks, projects, and sections.
- The web: search the web and read pages — useful for research, prospecting, or fact-checking.
- Long-term memory: Navi remembers your preferences, your team's names, your writing style, and the context of ongoing projects — across conversations.
- Scheduled jobs: "Every Monday at 8am, pull stale Linear issues and post the list in this chat." Navi will do that on its own, forever.
How is this different from ChatGPT or Gemini?
Three things.
1. Navi touches your real accounts. Instead of giving you text you have to copy-paste somewhere, Navi puts events on your real calendar, updates your actual Notion pages, and files real Linear issues. The output is the action, not a screenful of advice.
2. Navi remembers. Tell it once that your team is Sarah and Dan, or that Thursday afternoons are blocked for deep work, and it remembers forever. You don't re-explain your life every conversation.
3. Navi works unattended. You can ask Navi to do things on a schedule — a morning calendar briefing, a Friday Linear sweep, a weekly project roll-up — and it runs those on its own and posts the results in your chat.
What about privacy and control?
When you connect a tool (Calendar, Notion, etc.), you do it through the normal OAuth "Sign in with…" flow. You pick what Navi can see. You can disconnect at any time.
Any action that writes to one of your accounts — creating a calendar event, updating a Notion page, filing a Linear issue — asks you to approve it before it happens. You stay in the driver's seat.
Navi is not trained on your data, and your data is never mixed with another customer's.
Ready to try it?
The fastest way to get a feel for Navi is to spend five minutes with it. Sign up, connect Google Calendar, and ask it to walk you through today's meetings. You'll know within one answer whether it's useful for your work.
