Comparison
Poppy is proactive from sensors: calendar, mail, messages, location. Postal is proactive from memory: the thought you dumped last week, the list you can’t name, the reminder you asked for.
| Need | Poppy | Postal |
|---|---|---|
| What it watches | Calendar, email, messages, location | Your workspace: tasks, notes, lists, memories, calendar if connected |
| Capture | Mostly inferred from streams | You dump; Postal keeps — including things no sensor saw |
| Find | Surfaces what’s relevant now | You can ask later: “that Mac Mini writeup…” |
| Remind | Suggestions for the moment | Explicit reminders + desk pins + Morning Postal |
| Who it’s for | People who want an AI that notices | People who want an AI that remembers what they said |
Poppy is “what matters in this moment.” Postal is “don’t lose the thought.” Different jobs; some people will want both.
