What Silhouette can do.

Communication

• Email: read, search and summarise mail, and draft replies, in your chosen email app. Sending is held for your explicit approval.
• Messaging: read and reply in WhatsApp and similar chat apps, and send SMS. The recipient and exact text are confirmed first.
• Calls: place calls after confirmation, and read the call log, including missed calls.
• Contacts: search the address book; create, update and delete contacts; find which messaging apps a person uses.
• Notifications: list notifications, reply from a notification without opening the app, and dismiss them.

Calendar and reminders

• Read, create, move, rename and delete calendar events, with location, notes and reminder lead time.
• Set alarms, including repeating ones, and countdown timers.
• Send timed reminder notifications.
• Add to-dos to the phone’s task app.
• Read the day’s agenda, including events already past.

Travel

• Flights: build live searches for a route and dates and compare across booking sites. Fares are quoted only when read from a real source.
• Stays: find hotels, guesthouses and hostels near a place, with address, contact details and booking links.
• Rides and transport: look up options in the installed ride and transport apps.
• Maps and directions: look up addresses, search nearby places with ratings and opening status, open a place and start navigation.
• Location awareness: know where the phone is, which saved place that is, and where you have been during the day.

Shopping and food

• Search and compare in the installed shopping and food-delivery apps.
• Find restaurants and shops nearby, check hours and ratings, and shortlist options.
• Build a basket or order up to the point of payment. Payment is your decision.

Finance and payments

• Read balances, transactions and statuses in the installed banking and finance apps.
• Prepare a payment or transfer on screen. It stops before confirming and asks first.
• Passwords, PINs, card numbers and one-time codes are never typed by Silhouette. It hands the screen to you for those and carries on afterwards.

During the closed beta, don’t use Silhouette for purchases, banking or anything you can’t undo. See Beta participation.

Work and social

• LinkedIn: review profile and post analytics, draft posts, and publish only after your explicit approval.
• Documents: create and edit text, Markdown, CSV, Excel, Word, PDF and HTML files.
• Spreadsheets and office apps: read and edit sheets, documents and slide decks.
• Jira and GitHub: read and navigate issues, repositories and pull requests in the installed apps.
• Web research: search the web, read pages, and name the source of each fact.

Media and files

• Find photos by what is in them, and read the text in screenshots and images.
• List, read, write, copy, move and delete files. Deleted files go to a recoverable bin.
• Download files from public https addresses, and share files into other apps.
• Transcribe and read audio and voice notes saved on the phone.

Notes

• Create and edit notes in the installed notes app, including long structured documents.
• Save research results, drafts and lists for later copy and paste.

Smart home and device settings

• Control smart-home apps already installed on the phone.
• Read battery, charge state and storage.
• Adjust device settings by operating the Settings app: volume, brightness, connectivity and similar.
• Read and set the clipboard, and open any installed app or link.

No new integrations

• Silhouette drives the apps already on the phone. It reads each screen as labels plus a picture, then taps, types, scrolls and waits as a person would.
• Where a direct phone function exists (SMS, calendar, contacts, alarms, files, location, notifications), it uses that instead of the screen: faster and more reliable.
• There is no per-app connector to build or maintain. Your existing sign-ins are reused.
• Learned procedures: a screen task that worked can be saved as a reusable automation with placeholders and replayed in one call. If an app changes, the procedure stops at the first step that no longer matches, reports where it stopped, and can then be repaired.

Memory and preferences

• Durable facts and preferences are stored: names, relationships, default apps, working habits and standing rules. You can ask it to forget a fact.
• Stored preferences apply automatically; a correction overwrites the earlier fact.
• Long-term goals are tracked with a measurable metric and a freedom level, from ask-first up to act-quietly. Only you can raise it.

Scheduled and routine tasks

• Schedules run a stored instruction once, daily or at an interval, for example a morning briefing.
• Triggers run when something happens: a message or notification arrives, the phone is charged, or you arrive at or leave a place. They are scoped by sender, app, text and time window, with cooldowns and daily caps.
• Unattended runs are limited to actions you approved in advance for that task.

Developer notes

• The agent loop, tools and safety checks run on the phone. Model requests leave it: see What leaves your phone.
• Optional Linux tooling and coding agents are available for programming tasks.
• Apps you mark off-limits are never opened, read or acted in.
