KallyAI Executive Assistant

KallyAI is an AI executive assistant that handles outbound + inbound calls, email, bookings, research, bills, rides, food orders, errands, multi-channel messaging, and phone number management — all from the terminal.

Quick Start

# The 80% command — natural language, routes automatically
python kallyai.py ask "Book a table at Nobu for 4 tonight"
python kallyai.py ask "Email Dr. Smith to reschedule my Thursday appointment"
python kallyai.py ask "Find the best plumber near me and negotiate a quote"

# Check credits (NOT minutes — credits are the sole billing unit)
python kallyai.py credits balance

# Check your inbox
python kallyai.py messages inbox

# View incoming calls handled by your AI receptionist
python kallyai.py inbound calls

Complete Workflow

Step 1: Gather Intent

Determine what the user needs. KallyAI covers 14 domains:

For most requests, use ask — it routes through the coordination AI automatically.

Step 2: Authenticate

Authentication is automatic. First API call opens browser for Google/Apple sign-in.

python kallyai.py login         # Force re-auth
python kallyai.py logout        # Clear credentials
python kallyai.py auth-status   # Check login

Step 3: Execute

Natural language (preferred):

python kallyai.py ask "Reserve a table for 4 at 8pm at Nobu"

Direct commands (when you know the domain):

python kallyai.py calls make -p "+15551234567" -t "Reserve table for 4 at 8pm"
python kallyai.py actions calendar create --title "Dinner" --start "2026-02-14T20:00"
python kallyai.py search run "best Italian restaurant downtown"
python kallyai.py inbound calls --status completed
python kallyai.py phone list

Step 4: Monitor & Follow Up

# Check goal status
python kallyai.py coord goals --status active
python kallyai.py coord goal <GOAL_ID>

# Review outbound call results
python kallyai.py calls history
python kallyai.py calls info <CALL_ID>
python kallyai.py calls transcript <CALL_ID>

# Review inbound calls handled by AI receptionist
python kallyai.py inbound calls
python kallyai.py inbound call <CALL_ID>
python kallyai.py inbound transcript <CALL_ID>

# Check inbox for responses
python kallyai.py messages inbox --unread
