Features
How Emberel captures, understands,
and resurfaces your thoughts.
Emberel is a reminder-first AI memory. Everything you capture is a Spark that can behave as a reminder, task, note, checklist, or link. Web, voice, photo/OCR, dashboard, and Ask are available now. Email and Google have implemented paths with evidence boundaries described below; SMS remains disabled.
Capture anywhere
Five ways in. No filing ritual.
Capture composer
Type directly into the web app. Emberel turns the sentence into a Spark with a useful title and behavior you can correct.
Text / SMS
The campaign is approved. SMS capture and delivery remain disabled pending controlled activation tests.
One controlled text-email canary passed Email Routing, Worker, R2 storage, Queue, app capture, and temporary-file cleanup on September 2, 2026. Review the resulting Spark and correct its interpretation when needed.
Voice
Speak the thought before it disappears. Emberel transcribes it, creates every resulting Spark, and offers review or whole-capture undo.
Photo / OCR
Snap a bill, flyer, receipt, screenshot, or whiteboard. Emberel reads the useful text, drafts the Spark — title, details, reminder — and asks before saving.
AI that figures out what your Spark is.
Emberel looks for dates, times, tags, checklist items, links, and intent. It decides whether your Spark behaves as a reminder, task, note, checklist, or link, titles it, and keeps the details — open the editor to change anything.
- Handles phrases like “Thurs afternoon” and “first Friday every month.”
- Splits one message into multiple Sparks when needed.
- Recognizes recurring phrasing and names you include in captures.
- Open any Spark later to correct its type or details.
Reminders you can act on from the message.
Due Sparks can reach you by email when email is configured. After controlled activation, optional SMS reminders will support DONE and SNOOZE replies.
- SMS is disabled; there are no active allowances.
- Quiet hours keep reminders out of the middle of the night.
- Completed Sparks clear from your due list.
- Home actions include Open, Later, Dismiss, and Done where valid.
Calendar & Google sync
Emberel implements Calendar and Tasks mappings in both directions, with duplicate and loop safeguards. Connected-account sync has historical production evidence; this page does not imply a fresh universal end-to-end check for every account.
- Implemented Google Calendar and Tasks mappings
- De-duplication and loop protection for synced Sparks
- A single day view for everything that’s due
Every capture is a Spark
A deadline, a note, a half-formed thought — everything you capture becomes a Spark. Dated items return through Today. A small For you now section can show one to three useful Sparks with explicit actions, and the weekly digest lists up to five recent undated Notes.
- Capture it in a sentence, expand it later
- Open, Later, Dismiss, and semantic Done actions
- Change how a Spark behaves — note to task to reminder
Ask your memory anything
Ask searches relevant Sparks for memory questions. Broader prompts can use general AI reasoning, so an answer is not always drawn from your saved memory.
- “What did I say about the fall showcase?”
- In-app Ask is available during the current Free Beta
- Your data stays yours — export anytime
Bring your own assistant
Emberel’s Model Context Protocol service is deployed separately from in-app Ask. Access is gated to demo, approved beta, active trial, or entitled Pro, Power, or Founder accounts. Public-beta signup alone does not automatically grant MCP access.
- Compatible with MCP clients such as Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor
- You approve each assistant and can revoke it from Settings
- Deployed, access-gated, and not a universal public-beta entitlement
How it fits together
Capture → understand → resurface.
Capture
Use the web app, voice, or photo today; email capture has passed a controlled production test and SMS is disabled.
Understand
Emberel decides what your Spark is — reminder, task, note, checklist, or link — and titles it.
Resurface
Dated Sparks stay visible and can email you when email is configured. For you now offers a few useful Sparks with clear actions.
