The idea

How Nexy works

Most plans between people do not collapse because somebody forgot. They collapse because nobody was ever asked, out loud, at a moment they could still do something about it.

Nexy takes one thing two or more people agreed on and carries it to done. It asks the question, reminds whoever still has to act, keeps an unclaimed task visible to everybody instead of assigning it, and tells the group when it is finished — in the chat they already use, with nothing to install on the other side.

Four things you set, in plain words

WhoThe people this thing is between: one person, a family, a team, a street. You say it in ordinary language, there is no group to create.
WhatThe one thing that has to happen. One agreement per thread, which is why a thread can actually end.
WhenA date, or just a rhythm. Nexy picks the moment you can still act, not the moment it is too late.
Who may see itWhat Nexy is allowed to say, and to whom. What is switched off is not in its head at all — not known-but-hidden.

Where it stops

The limits are the product, not a roadmap gap. These are on purpose.

It will not choose for youAn unclaimed task is announced, never assigned. Nexy does not pick which sibling drives to the hospital.
It will not pretend to be humanIf it answers a phone or relays a question, it says what it is.
It will not nagDone means left alone, permanently, for that person.
It will not keep what it does not needAn anonymous question stays anonymous because the link between question and answer is not stored, not because it is hidden from you.

Questions people ask

What is Nexy, in one sentence?

Nexy is an assistant that works between people: you tell it what the two of you agreed on, and it asks, reminds, and confirms until it is done.

Does the other person have to install an app to use Nexy with me?

No. They get one message in the chat they already use, with a single tap under it if they also want the reminder personally. No account, no download, no login. If they later want notifications of their own they can add them, but nothing is held back until they do.

How is this different from a shared to-do list or a shared calendar?

A shared list waits to be looked at and a shared calendar has to be accepted. Nexy does the asking. It puts the thing in front of the right person at the moment they can still act on it, keeps an unclaimed task visible to everyone, and closes the thread itself when somebody says it is done.

How does Nexy know when to remind someone?

Every thread carries its own clock. For something with a date, the reminder lands at the moment you could still do something about it, which is usually the evening before rather than the morning of. For something open-ended, it nudges on the rhythm the thread has been moving at, and it stops the moment the thing is done.

Does Nexy keep reminding me about something I have already done?

No, and this is not a setting you can get wrong. The rule underneath every shared reminder is that it never asks for something that has already happened. Someone marks it done and that person is left alone, even while the thread continues for the others.

Can Nexy do things for a group rather than just two people?

Yes. A thread can hold a family, a team, a club or a street. An unclaimed task is announced to everybody rather than assigned by Nexy, so nobody is volunteered, and claiming it is public so nobody silently assumes somebody else has it.

What does Nexy cost?

Being reachable is free. Being found, the part where strangers can reach you and work can come to you, is the paid side. The use cases on this site are things you can do without paying anything.

Is Nexy a chatbot?

It behaves less like a chatbot and more like somebody who holds the thread. It writes short messages to real people, and it never pretends to be a person: if it answers your phone or relays a question, it says plainly what it is and what it cannot do.
