Founders

Two people, building one careful assistant.

Kesh Assist isn't a company with a support queue and a roadmap committee. It's Keshav and Ai — and when you text the assistant, the people who built it are the ones on the other end of anything it can't handle.

Why we built it

We kept watching good operators lose their week to their inbox.

The agency owners we know are excellent at the actual work. They're also the person who reschedules the Thursday call, digs up the deck someone asked for, remembers what they promised a client on a Tuesday, and answers the same three emails every morning before anything real gets done.

None of that is hard. It's just constant. Forty small decisions a day, each one costing a few minutes and most of the attention around them. The tools that were supposed to fix it mostly added another dashboard to check.

Nobody's calendar was the problem. It was the forty small decisions a day around it.

So we built the assistant we'd want handling it — one that lives where you already are, in your text messages. It reads your calendar and your inbox, drafts the reply, proposes the reschedule, briefs you before the meeting, and tracks what you said you'd do.

And then it stops and asks. Nothing sends, nothing moves, nothing gets accepted until you answer with a yes. That constraint is the whole product. An assistant you have to double-check isn't saving you anything.

The team

No layers, no handoffs.

We're two people, which means we both do everything — product, customers, support, the unglamorous parts. It also means nothing gets lost between departments, because there aren't any.

Keshav Kairon

Founder

Keshav builds the assistant itself — the scheduling logic, the drafting, and the approval flow that makes sure nothing leaves your account without your say-so. He's the one deciding what Kesh should do on its own and, more often, what it shouldn't.

He also takes the support texts. If something goes sideways at 7am, he's the person who sees it.

Ai Pham

Co-founder

Ai comes at the product from the finance side — how it's priced, what it's actually worth to someone billing their own hours, and whether a week with Kesh holds up when you put real numbers on it.

She runs onboarding and talks to customers directly, which is how most of what we build next gets decided. If you tell her something's broken, it goes straight into the week's work.

How we build

Three rules we don't bend.

01

Approval before action

Kesh drafts, proposes, and prepares. It doesn't send an email, accept a meeting, or move your calendar until you reply yes.

02

Your data stays yours

OAuth only — we never see your password. Nothing is sold, and your calendar and inbox aren't training data.

03

Small on purpose

We'd rather serve a small number of people extremely well than scale past the point where we know who's using it.
