Get started
Set up in an afternoon. Useful the same day.
This page is the real sequence, written from the product as it is. Nothing here describes a feature that is not live.
Before you start
- An invitation. Sign-up is by invitation while we onboard the first customers. If you do not have one, request one.
- A Gmail or Google Workspace mailbox. That is where Wren is most useful on day one.
- A card for the trial. Nothing is charged until the 14 days end, and you can cancel from the account page.
- Optional: your own AI key (Anthropic, OpenAI or OpenRouter) if you choose the $49 plan.
1. Create your account
- Open the link in your invitation and choose Create an account, with the email address you were invited with.
- Pick a password of at least 12 characters. A few unrelated words work well. Passwords found in known data breaches are refused.
- Confirm your email from the message we send. The link works once and expires after an hour.
You can add a passkey later from the same page, so signing in takes Face ID or Touch ID instead of a password.
2. Choose a plan
Two plans, same Wren. Bring your own key ($49 a month) if you already have an AI provider account. AI included ($99 a month) if you would rather not think about it. Checkout is on Stripe's own page. The trial is 14 days, once per account.
3. Name your Wren
Give it a name. Your private Wren is created on its own instance and is ready in a few minutes. The account page shows when it is up.
4. Pair your first device
- The account page shows a one-time pairing code.
- Open your Wren in this browser, or install the iPhone app, choose Pair with Wren and enter the code.
- Give the device a name you will recognise, like "MacBook" or "iPhone".
Approvals are signed by the device you paired, so only your devices can let Wren send, post, pay or delete. Add more devices from Wren's Settings later.
5. Connect Gmail
- In Wren, open Apps and then Mail, and choose Add account.
- Sign in on Google's own screen. Wren receives only the access you approve there.
- Back in Wren, the mailbox appears under Accounts. You can remove it at any time, and removing it deletes the stored sign-in.
6. Your first hour: the inbox
Say, in the chat:
Clean up my inbox. Show me the senders first.
Here is what happens, in order:
- Scan. Wren reads your mail's headers and shows who fills your inbox: newsletters, notifications, receipts, people.
- Folders. It proposes folders from the labels you already have. You edit and approve them.
- Clean up. One approved step files the backlog and clears the bulk mail you chose. Thousands of messages take a few minutes.
- Undo. Every move is logged. If a sender should not have been archived, say so and it comes back.
Wren never deletes mail, never sends without your approval, and never moves mail from people you email, threads you replied in, or starred mail.
7. Your first day: things worth asking
What is waiting on a reply from someone else?Lists the open threads and offers to nudge the quiet ones within a deadline you set.
Every weekday at 8, send me what came in overnight and what needs me.Sets up a routine. Turning it on asks for your approval once; turning it off pauses it.
Draft a reply to Sarah about the invoice. I will read it before it goes.The draft appears in the chat with Approve and Reject.
Unsubscribe me from everything I have not opened in six months. Show me the list first.You approve the list; Wren does the unsubscribing and files the rest.
Log in to the supplier portal and download October's invoices to my Documents folder.Uses a login from your vault. If the site asks for a code, Wren hands the browser to you and takes it back.
Set up a salesperson for Acme and have them follow up on last week's inquiries.Creates a teammate with a written role. It drafts; you approve every send.
8. Your first week
- Add a second business. Each business is its own workspace with its own mail, connections, teammates and rules. Say "Create a workspace for Acme Upholstery".
- Connect what you use. Google Calendar, LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram, TikTok, GitHub, Stripe and others, each with a sign-in you give on that service's own screen.
- Set limits once. Standing instructions per workspace: who Wren may contact, how often, what it may say. They take effect right away and can only narrow what Wren does.
- Check in from your phone. Anything waiting on you is pinned at the top of the app.
What to expect
- Wren tells you what it is about to do and what it did. A finished task lists what was checked and what changed.
- When it is blocked on you, it waits and says why. It does not quietly give up or quietly go ahead.
- AI drafts can be wrong. Read anything that matters before you approve it.
- Not every website works. When one does not, Wren hands the browser to you rather than guessing.
If something goes wrong
