Valet is in active development. Have you let an AI act for you yet? Take our short survey
A private AI assistant for office and personal work.
It acts for you, with your approval, and your data stays on your PC.
Valet runs on your own Windows PC.
Routine office work eats the week, and the AI that could help keeps your data.
11 hours
a week that UK small-business owners spend on admin and finance tasks.
1 per 24
One executive assistant for every 24 salaried managers in the US, so most managers run their own inbox.
18 months
How long Gemini and Copilot keep your chats by default. ChatGPT keeps them until you delete them.
Delegating to a cloud assistant means handing over your inbox, your client files and the memory of how you work.
What it takes on
Office work
- Email and Telegram
- Memos, letters and documents
- Calendars and reminders
- To-do lists and follow-ups
- Calculations and simple models
- Dashboards and briefs
Personal work
- Personal mail and messages
- Family calendar and reminders
- Bills, forms and documents
Reading, drafting and filing run on their own; anything that goes out in your name waits for your approval, by design.
What approving looks like
Placeholder: images of the approval screen will replace these three descriptions.
A worked example
A client emails: can Thursday's review move to next week, and could they have a copy of last month's invoice?
Valet reads the thread and your earlier messages with that client. It finds the invoice in the client's folder on your PC, checks your calendar for next week, and drafts a reply offering two free times, with the invoice attached. It holds both times in your calendar and adds "confirm the new review time" to your to-do list. None of this goes out to anyone, so none of it needs you.
Then it stops. The reply goes to your client in your name, so Valet shows you the recipient, the message and the attachment, and waits. You change one of the times and approve. Valet sends the reply and confirms it has gone.
One outgoing email, one approval. Had the task needed two emails, each would have waited for its own approval.
Built to be trusted
Nothing in the cloud
Nothing of your work is kept on Valet's servers.
Bring your own keys: Valet talks directly to the model provider you configured. No request passes through Valet's servers.
You control every action
Every action has a risk level. High-risk actions wait for your approval, and no model can approve or skip them, by design.
A prompt-injected or confused model can only propose.
Then a second model checks high-risk steps, content from outside is treated as data, not instructions, and only signed plugins load.
Any model, any country
Any model, hosted anywhere you choose, including open models in UK, EU or Swiss data centres.
You control what the model sees
See what a model receives with each request, and from whom.
All your local files
Documents, spreadsheets and PDFs on your PC.
Far beyond email
Messages, documents, calendars and more, through signed plugins.
Memory and your profile
What Valet learns about how you work stays on your PC.
Your network and devices
Printers and other devices on your local network.
Customisable throughout: personas, instructions, risk levels, appearance and voice.

Valet works fully with both, which suits the mixed office most small firms run.
Others match parts of Valet. None matches the whole.

Requirements and stage
Valet runs on Windows and needs administrative rights to install. Downloading needs a free account.
You supply your own model-provider and web-search API keys on first run. How to get a key, and what it costs.
A managed plan that needs no keys of your own, Pro, is planned. About the plans.
