Comparison
Ordin is a chief of staff that prepares actions and waits for your OK. Postal is mess-in, memory-out: capture anything, find it later, get reminded — then it can still draft, schedule, and research.
| Need | Ordin | Postal |
|---|---|---|
| Capture | Sources in; Ordin builds memory | Brain dump, voice, chat, CLI — kept without a form |
| Prepared actions | Drafts, calendar moves, meeting briefs — you approve | Chat acts (calendar, research, lists) plus a desk you can see |
| Reminders | Prepared reminders in the workflow | Say “remind me…” — it rings and pins an orange Post-it |
| Human in the loop | Approval is the product | You stay in the loop on the desk; YOLO mode exists if you want less friction |
| Who it’s for | People who want a staffer that asks before it acts | People who dump chaos and need it findable and on time |
Ordin’s approval loop is a feature, not a bug. Postal is looser on purpose: get the thought out of your head first, then act. Pick approval-first vs capture-first.
