Char

Char is an AI notepad designed to turn everyday thoughts and information into useful action. It brings context from meetings, messages, calendars, files, and work tools into one place, helping users move from scattered notes and reminders to clearer plans and follow-ups. Rather than simply storing information, Char can help develop a thought, draft an email, find a relevant detail, or shape work into a handoff or plan, with the user deciding what to proceed with.

The product is aimed at people managing many responsibilities and tools who want to spend less time sorting, filing, and remembering. Its features include note-taking, reminders, meeting context, task support, and a wiki for keeping durable information available for future work. The service is presented as a way to keep links, intent, and decisions connected to the tasks they inform, so users can return to work with context in place. Char is backed by Y Combinator and is currently inviting users to join its private beta.
