Introducing Elysium AI — Schedule Your Week in One Message

Today we're launching Elysium AI — and a second option for people who already have an AI they love.

What is Elysium AI?

Elysium AI is a conversational scheduling assistant built directly into the app. You can describe your week in plain language and it handles the rest.

"Schedule my week: finish the Q1 report Monday morning, gym Tuesday and Thursday at 7am, dentist Friday at 2pm."

That's it. Elysium AI creates the tasks, sets the times, and fits everything around what's already on your calendar. It understands context — if you always do deep work in the mornings, it knows to put the report there. If Friday afternoons are usually light, it won't overload them.

It's available on macOS and iOS, and it syncs across devices if you have cloud sync enabled.

Privacy first — your memory stays on your device

This was the hardest part to get right, and the one we're most proud of.

When Elysium AI learns about you — your preferred work hours, your energy patterns, the routines you've built — it stores that in a local file on your device. Not in the cloud. Not on our servers. We can't read it. We don't want to read it.

The file is encrypted at rest by your OS. You can view it, edit it, or delete it from Settings → AI → Memory at any time.

This is fundamentally different from most AI assistants that build a profile of you on their servers. Your preferences belong to you, not to us.

Bring Your Own AI (BYOAI)

Not everyone wants to pay for another AI subscription — especially if you're already using Claude or ChatGPT.

BYOAI is free and doesn't require Elysium AI at all. When you enable it, Elysium creates an OpenTime folder on your device and generates a README.md inside it. This file documents your entire schedule format — all 7 item types and every Elysium-specific extension field.

Point your AI at that folder, and it can read and write your schedule directly. Create projects, move tasks, set habits — all through the AI you already use.

We've tested it extensively with Claude (via OpenClaw) and ChatGPT. See the setup guides →

Pricing

Elysium AI is a paid add-on:

  • Free + AI: $6/month or $60/year — 200 messages/month
  • Basic + AI: $10/month or $100/year — 200 messages/month (new combined plan)
  • Pro: AI included — unlimited messages

BYOAI is free, always.

What's next

This is version one. We have a lot planned — better context retention, project-level planning conversations, and tighter integration with the schedule view. If you have feedback or run into anything unexpected, let us know in the community.

We're excited to see what you build with it.
