Hi everyone,
We’re Samika & Siddhant - cousins and co-founders of Iris. We connect all your calendars and inboxes in one place with a built-in assistant that truly understands you.

❌ The Problem:
The problem isn’t a lack of tools - it’s that they all expect you to think like them. Between five calendars, three inboxes, and constant context switching, simple things like moving a meeting or replying to an email still take minutes of mental load. Apps like Motion or Reclaim help you plan, but they don’t understand you. They still need perfect inputs, perfect routines, perfect focus.
We didn’t need another productivity system to maintain - we needed something that worked with how we already do things.
✅ The Solution
Iris is your intelligent personal assistant that organizes your day around what actually matters.
She connects with Gmail, Google Calendar, and Maps to understand your context - who you’re meeting, what you’re working on, and where you need to be - and then helps you act on it.
Ask Iris to reschedule a meeting, draft a reply, or block time for deep work - she does it instantly, across all your accounts, with your approval.
Unlike typical AI assistants, Iris builds around your life. She learns your rhythm, adapts to changes, and quietly keeps your day in sync so you can focus on doing the things that matter, not managing them.
The Team
We’re cousins who’ve been building together since we were kids.
Samika previously founded Solstis, worked on adaptive AI systems at CMU for a year, and studied how humans build trust in AI.
Siddhant has been coding since he was 11, he built and launched 12 consumer apps with 2500+ active users. He studied Computer Science from UCSD.
Earlier in the batch, we met Adam Cheyer (founder of Siri), who became a mentor and advisor. That conversation reshaped how we think about assistants - not as UX problems, but as deep engineering problems.
Our Ask
