助手Assistant in Japanese
Joshu, the AI executive assistant that books the meeting.
Its own computer, phone number, and email, so you can text it, call it, or CC it like a colleague. Open source, no corporate agenda.
Then $95 a month with no token fees, no resets, and no caps.
You don't need another app. You need a colleague.
Most AI answers questions. Joshu does the work: the inbox, the calendar, the calls, the research, and the follow-up.
Every Joshu gets its own desk
Joshu works on its own computer, with a browser, apps, and storage. Share its screen, work the whiteboard together, or take the keyboard whenever you want.
Reach it the way you reach a colleague
Joshu has its own email address and phone number. Email it, call it, text it, or message it where you already work. Nothing new to learn.

CC Joshu on any thread. A dedicated address keeps its work out of your inbox.

In the chat apps you already use
Message Joshu in Slack, Teams, Telegram, or WhatsApp.
Tell Joshu once. It keeps going.
Hand it a goal, not a to-do list. Joshu checks your calendar, handles the back-and-forth, and tells you when it's done.
- You: Can you find an hour with Dana and Marcus next week? Video call is fine.
- Joshu: On it. I'll check your calendar and email them a few times that work.
- Joshu: They both picked Thursday at 10. The invite is out with a video link, and it's on your calendar.
- You: Perfect, thank you.
Joshu went to school
Trained on how chiefs of staff run a busy day, how good coaches turn a conversation into a next step, and the marketing and research a small business runs on.
- Chief of staff craft
- Clear delegation briefs, SOPs for the work that repeats, and a calendar that shows what actually matters.
- Executive coaching
- Frameworks like GROW (Goal, Reality, Options, Will), plus listening and next steps you can actually do.
- Small business ready
- Marketing, branding, design, and research, so Joshu can ship the work instead of handing you homework.
- You: What are people saying about meal-kit delivery this month? I want something I can read on the train.
- Joshu: I'll scan social and the web, group the conversation, and save a readable report to my desktop.
- Joshu: Done. The report is on my desktop and in your inbox. Want a fresh one every Monday?
- You: Yes, every Monday.
It doesn't wait to be asked
Most assistants wait for instructions. Joshu already knows what to look for, and it follows through.
The inbox is already triaged when you sit down.
A short list of what actually needs you, plus a trail of what got handled overnight.
Follow-ups go out while you're still in the meeting.
The thank-you and the recap are sent before you walk back to your desk.
No prompting, assigning, or babysitting.
You are not running a help desk for your own assistant. Joshu already knows how to handle the inbox, the calendar, and the follow-up.
You stay in charge
Joshu earns trust the way a good new hire does. You decide how much it takes on, and when.
Shadow
Joshu learns how you handle a piece of work before it touches it.
Assist
It drafts and you review. Drafts wait for you before anything goes out.
Take over
When you're ready, hand the work off for good.
Joshu is open source
The most secure system is the most transparent one.
If you are using an AI system that is free, guess what? YOU are the product. You will be tracked, monitored, advertised to, and sold off for bits. We believe that AI can truly be good for the world, but only if it is out in the open.
- AGPL box stack you can read, run, and self-host
- You own everything: Export a .soul bundle and you get all the knowledge, skills, and lineage your Joshu has learned
- No model training at all
- 100% US hosted
