# Aubrey v1 is live

Aubrey v1 brings the core personal AI assistant experience together: setup from the web, chat, email forwarding, managed calendar, reminders, sharing, and practical workflows for everyday life.

## What's included

### Create your first assistant

Set up Aubrey from the web. During onboarding, Aubrey asks for your name, location, email and calendar preference, and first task. You can start with built-in Aubrey tools on every plan, or connect Google Workspace after upgrading to a paid plan.

### Chat with Aubrey

Use the assistant workspace to ask for plans, drafts, summaries, decisions, and next steps. You can also attach files when file upload is available for the assistant.

### Use built-in models

Aubrey includes the AI help you need to get started, so you do not need to bring a separate AI subscription or choose between AI services before asking for help.

### Use Aubrey email

Each assistant can have an Aubrey email address. You can:

* Forward mail to store it.
* Email Aubrey directly when you want a reply.
* Cc Aubrey with an explicit request when you want Aubrey to collaborate in a thread.

For most inboxes, start by forwarding selected emails with rules or filters instead of forwarding every message.

### Use calendar and reminders

Aubrey includes a managed calendar and calendar feed links. Use it for reminders, appointments, holds, check-ins, and follow-ups.

### Schedule recurring help

Ask Aubrey to check in on a schedule, such as a weekday family email summary, a Sunday planning brief, or an activity logistics reminder.

### Share an assistant

Invite another person to the same assistant. Shared assistants help families, friends, or teammates coordinate around the same plans, messages, reminders, lists, and decisions.

### Connect messaging channels

Pair supported messaging channels such as WhatsApp, Telegram, text message, and email when available for your plan. Use channels when you want to chat with Aubrey outside the web app or coordinate in a group.

### Connect Google Workspace on paid plans

Paid plans can connect Google Workspace for Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, and selected files. You stay in control of what you connect and what files you select.

### Try sample use cases

The new Sample Use Cases section shows practical ways to use Aubrey:

* Family activity planning
* Family knowledge space
* Soccer carpool
* Shared event checklist
* Jury duty check
