Cap, the Flots assistant: the guide to get started

Flots Team3 min read

Having solid organization is good. Not having to think about it all the time is better. That's the whole role of Cap, the Flots assistant: a kind of pocket secretary that's with you day to day, available at any hour. Here's what it does today, and where it's headed.

Cap, your pocket secretary

Cap isn't a gadget bolted onto the app. It's the companion that helps you stay on course with your organization. Most tools leave you alone with your lists. Cap, on the other hand, is designed to accompany you: to remind you what matters, to help you move forward.

The idea is simple. For once, you're not the one who has to handle all the coordination work. You have an assistant by your side, available whenever you need it.

Planning your day with Cap

Cap is most useful at the start of a day. Instead of staring down an intimidating list, you plan in a few clicks: you sort what needs doing and place your tasks onto your time slots.

Within a few minutes, your day is framed. You know what to start with and what it can realistically hold. Enough to move forward calmly instead of just reacting.

An assistant that suits you: Cap's tone

Not everyone expects the same thing from an assistant. With Cap's tone setting, you choose the qualities that suit you, more friendly or more no-nonsense, and set the personality that matches how you work.

That detail changes the day-to-day experience. An assistant whose tone speaks to you is an assistant you actually listen to.

Keeping the essentials in view

Beyond planning, Cap helps you avoid losing track of important information. The goal is to surface what matters at the right time, so urgent things don't get drowned out in the flood of notifications we all get every day.

It's a building block we're developing over time, with a clear ambition: to bring you the right information when you're actually available to receive it.

Where Cap is headed

Cap is set to become increasingly proactive. Two projects are currently in development to get it there:

  • Automatic suggestions: spotting the tasks described in your notes (meetings, minutes, emails…) to create and categorize them effortlessly.
  • Smart notifications: prioritizing information based on your workload, so no urgent matter slips through.

These two features aren't available yet: they're still in development and will enrich Cap at a later stage.

An assistant, not an autopilot

Cap doesn't decide for you. It takes mental load off your shoulders. It draws on your organization, your tasks, your notes and your calendar, all gathered in one place, to support you without taking over.

That's the approach we want to push forward: an assistant that's there when needed, able to blend into your habits instead of imposing new ones.

An assistant that helps you plan, keeps the essentials in view and adopts your tone, and that's about to do even more: that's Cap's promise. To meet it, try it on your own organization.

Let Cap support you day to day.
