How to set up This & That

Every guide in two forms — read it, or press play and listen.

Step-by-step guides
Connect WhatsAppSend tasks to your Chief of Staff straight from WhatsApp.›
  1. 1Open Settings inside This & That.
  2. 2Under Connected Accounts, tap WhatsApp.
  3. 3A WhatsApp chat opens with your personal assistant number — send the word JOIN.
  4. 4You'll get a confirmation reply within a minute. Done — anything you forward there becomes a task.
Connect TelegramSame idea as WhatsApp — forward anything, it becomes a task.›
  1. 1Open Settings inside This & That.
  2. 2Under Connected Accounts, tap Telegram.
  3. 3Telegram opens on the This & That bot — press Start.
  4. 4Send a test message like 'Remind me to call Rachel at 5'. You'll see it appear in your Ledger.
Connect EmailForward any email and it's handled.›
  1. 1Open Settings inside This & That.
  2. 2Under Connected Accounts, tap Email — you'll see your personal forwarding address (like you@in.thisandthat.care).
  3. 3Add that address to your contacts.
  4. 4Forward any email to it. The attachment, sender and ask are all captured automatically.
Connect Google CalendarYour agenda, prepared every morning.›
  1. 1Open Settings inside This & That.
  2. 2Tap Calendar, then Continue with Google.
  3. 3Choose your Google account and press Allow.
  4. 4That's it — your events appear in the Calendar tab within a minute.
Sync your contactsNames, numbers and photos from your phone or Google.›
  1. 1Open Settings inside This & That and tap Sync Contacts.
  2. 2Your phone shows its own contact picker — choose the people you work with.
  3. 3Press Done. They appear in the People tab with their photos.
  4. 4On iPhone: Safari gives no website access to your phone book, so Sync Contacts opens a file picker instead. Export your contacts as a .vcf (Contacts app → share, or iCloud.com → Export vCard) and choose it — names, numbers, emails and photos all come across.
  5. 5Pulling contacts straight from Google or Outlook is not built yet — it needs a connected account, which is coming separately.
Connect Drive / iCloudSo your documents live in your own Dropbox, not inside the app.›
  1. 1Open Settings inside This & That, tap Cloud Storage.
  2. 2Pick Google Drive (or iCloud) and press Allow when asked.
  3. 3Keep important documents in one folder — for example 'This & That / Identity'.
  4. 4Add a file in Workspace — work and personal documents live in one place.
Set up your PIN and Face IDOne 4-digit code for the whole app — no second code for the Vault.›
  1. 1Settings → Offline PIN → Set, and choose 4 digits.
  2. 2Tap 'Also unlock with Face ID' and approve the prompt.
  3. 3On a flight or with no signal, the PIN or your face opens the workspace already on this device.
  4. 4Remember: nothing in the Vault is ever read by the AI. Ever.
Frequently asked questions
Is my data private?›

Yes. The Vault is never read by AI, and nothing is shared without your say-so. Every send needs your approval.

Does it work on a flight?›

Yes — add tasks offline; everything syncs the moment you're back in range. Settings shows the exact sync state.

What if someone doesn't reply?›

Your Chief of Staff follows up politely on its own, and only escalates to you when a decision is needed.

How do reminders work?›

Swipe any item that needs you — right to snooze 30 minutes, left to pick exact minutes or hours. You can snooze even while it's ringing.
