Capabilities

Built for life at MIT

Every integration is native to MIT's own systems — not generic wrappers bolted on after the fact.

📚
Canvas & Piazza

Surface assignments, announcements, and discussion posts from your active courses — no portal hunting.

✉️
MIT Email

Check and summarize your inbox via Apple Mail or Outlook, without leaving your chat app.

🖨️
MIT Printing

Send files to MobilePrint or a Pharos queue. Finds available printers dynamically across campus.

🔒
VPN & SSO

GlobalProtect VPN managed automatically. MIT SSO sessions reused — skip Touchstone and Duo prompts.

🧠
Persistent Memory

Tim remembers your preferences and past interactions — building a profile that makes every conversation sharper.

🌐
Autonomous Browsing

Tim navigates websites on your behalf — logging in, filling forms, extracting data — without you touching a keyboard.

🔬
Multimodal Understanding

Send a photo, screenshot, or PDF. Tim reads figures, summarizes papers, and answers questions about what it sees.

Scheduled Tasks

Set automations that take real action on a schedule — daily briefing combining email, Canvas, and Piazza every morning.

💬
Any Chat App

Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp, and more. Long tasks queue and deliver when ready, on any device.

03 —

Chat from anywhere

Message from any device. Tim reads your courses, checks email, queues print jobs — all in plain language.

Demo

Plain language. Real results.

Ask in natural language. Tim figures out which MIT system to call and gets it done.
