Kept

An assistant for people who run a business alone. Here you see both sides: on the left you're a client writing to Alex, a kitchen contractor; on the right is what Alex sees, with Kept doing the work on NVIDIA Nemotron. Nothing is sent until Alex says Yes.

A walnut kitchen at dusk with warm light under the cabinets

Portland, Oregon · since 2014

Kitchens with a craftsman's hands.

One carpenter, a van and a workshop in Sellwood. Whole kitchens, new fronts on old boxes, counters, and the small fixes nobody else wants.

A 1990s kitchen like Jo's, redone in walnut and quartz (a rendering from her photo). Drag to compare.

2 · Alex's side, with Kept

Alex is on a job site. Kept handles the email.

This is what Alex sees on the phone: what Kept understood and worked out, and the reply waiting for Alex's Yes. Hands full? Alex can hear it and say Yes out loud.

When your message arrives, this is what Alex sees: what Kept understood (the photo, the job, a price worked out from Alex's own price list, free times from Alex's calendar) and the reply Kept drafted, waiting for Alex's Yes.

Press Yes here, as Alex, and the reply appears on the client's side.

Hands busy? Talk to Kept

    Your browser turns speech into text and reads Kept's answers aloud. Whether you said Yes is decided by code from your words, never by a model; anything unclear sends nothing.

    Alex's calendar

      Kept also runs Alex's whole morning: promises both ways, money and the cash gap on the 1st, reminders, seasonal offers, check-ins, reviews. Open Alex's full dashboard →
