Dewey: Your AI Accountability Buddy

Dewey is an AI-powered accountability assistant that helps you stay organized and productive by using text message reminders and goal tracking. It functions as a friendly conversational companion for managing your to-do list, forming new habits, and getting quick answers without heavy setup.


What Dewey Does

  • Sends personalized SMS reminders to keep you on top of tasks and habits throughout the day.
  • Lets you converse with your to-do list, asking questions and getting nudges to stay on track.
  • Helps you build and maintain new habits with check-ins and gentle accountability.
  • Provides quick answers to common questions (e.g., recipes, simple lookups) without needing to Google.
  • Offers a free tier and a planned feature expansion (e.g., higher limits, additional perks) as future plans.

How to Get Started

  1. Sign up for a Dewey account and provide your mobile phone number.
  2. Add tasks to your to-do list and customize reminder preferences.
  3. Interact with Dewey via SMS to receive reminders, ask questions, and get guidance.

Note: Dewey uses SMS text messages to communicate, so you’ll receive reminders where you’ll see them most—on your phone.

Pricing (as described)
