Everybody needs a doorman
You hand it the mail that matters.
It files it into the life underneath,
and stays quiet until you ask.
Doorman is not watching your inbox. Forward a thread, CC it on a send, or Bcc a copy — only what you give it gets filed into the matters and people that make up your life. What it learns is memory you can read, correct, and later ask — in the app, or from any AI you already use.
-
1 · Give it mail
Forward, CC, or Bcc
Your address is a drop box, not a mailbox takeover. Nothing arrives unless you put it there.
-
2 · It builds memory
Matters, people, what's owed
Three threads about the same client become one thing — status, who is involved, what still needs to happen.
-
3 · Ask it back
Chat here, or plug in your agent
Open a session in the app, or connect Claude, ChatGPT, or any harness over MCP or a simple API.
Only what you give it
No inbox sync, no labels, no sending as you. Doorman only ever sees copies you forward, CC, or Bcc — and never sends mail in your name.
Matters, not messages
It organizes around the situations in your life, not a folder of mail. New copies land on the matter they belong to; the status stays current.
It notices absence
The quote nobody sent. The reply that never came. Doorman tracks what's owed and by whom, and tells you once — never twice about the same thing without new information.
Memory you can read
Everything it knows is plain text you can open, correct, and export. No black box, no settings screen pretending to be understanding.
Ask in the app
Start a chat session against your own tree — what's stalled on Clearpath, who owes you a reply, what changed this week — answered from the memory you've been filing.
Bring your own agent
The same query layer ships as MCP and a small API, so Claude, OpenAI, or a CLI harness can read your matters without inventing a second brain.
