## Company & launch

- 2023-08-17 · Public launch · iOS app first released [8]

## What it can do

*What this agent can actually operate — a machine of its own, yours, or neither. Computer control is three separate questions, and most products answer only some of them.*

- **What stands out** `documented` — Reached by text, phone call or email rather than a new interface, with wake-up calls and copy-on-an-email scheduling [1, 4]
- **Computer use** `limited` (partial or conditional only) — Acts through connected accounts; control of a computer is not described [3]
- **Controls your computer** `limited` (partial or conditional only) — Nothing is described as running on the user's computer; Martin acts through connected accounts. [3]
- **Its own computer** `unknown` — Not specified — no reviewed source answers this, which is a gap in the catalogue rather than a "no".
- **Works while your computer is off** `unknown` — Not specified — no reviewed source answers this, which is a gap in the catalogue rather than a "no".
- **Browser control** `unknown` — Not specified — no reviewed source answers this, which is a gap in the catalogue rather than a "no".
- **Voice & ambient listening** `documented` — Phone calls in both directions, including spoken wake-up calls [1, 4]
- **Background work & triggers** `documented` — Background tasks including wake-up calls and reminders; paid tiers are sold on how many proactive actions they allow [2, 4, 5]

## Apps & access

*Where you reach it and on what. A messaging integration is not a native app, so the two are tracked apart; an app listed here is a real first-party client.*

- **Native desktop apps** `limited` (partial or conditional only) — No native desktop app is described [1]
- **iPhone & Android apps** `documented` — Native iPhone and iPad app on the App Store [8]
- **Web & messaging** `documented` — Text messages, phone calls, email, the iOS app and a web app [1, 8]
- **Messaging services** `documented` — SMS, Slack, Email [1, 3, 7]
- **Native hardware** `unknown` — Not specified — no reviewed source answers this, which is a gap in the catalogue rather than a "no".
- **Developer API** `unknown` — Not specified — no reviewed source answers this, which is a gap in the catalogue rather than a "no".

## Models & plans

*What you pay and what runs underneath. Where an agent is bundled into a larger subscription, the price shown is that subscription's — there is no separate fee for the agent.*

- **Models & providers** `limited` (partial or conditional only) — Plans distinguish basic from most advanced AI models; the providers are not named [2]
- **Bring your own model** `limited` (partial or conditional only) — Fully managed; personal model keys are not described [2]
- **Included in another plan** `documented` — Standalone Martin subscription [2]
- **Price & usage costs** `documented` — Basic US$21/month billed yearly or US$35 monthly; Pro US$30/month billed yearly or US$49 monthly, with seven days free [2]

## Vendor lock-in

*How hard it is to leave, and what survives if the company does. Almost no hosted vendor publishes a shutdown commitment, so an answer here is usually read from the architecture rather than from a promise.*

- **If the vendor stops** `limited` (partial or conditional only) — Provider-hosted, so the service depends on the vendor's servers. The company has not published what happens if it shuts down. [1]
- **Remote shut-off** `unknown` — Not specified — no reviewed source answers this, which is a gap in the catalogue rather than a "no".
- **What you keep** `unknown` — Not specified — no reviewed source answers this, which is a gap in the catalogue rather than a "no".

## Ownership & control

*What it asks before acting, what it remembers, and who else can see it. These are the questions that decide whether you would hand it your inbox.*

- **Open source & license** `unknown` — Not specified — no reviewed source answers this, which is a gap in the catalogue rather than a "no".
- **Where it runs** `documented` — Provider-hosted service reached through messaging, calls and apps [1]
- **Passwords & credentials** `unknown` — Not specified — no reviewed source answers this, which is a gap in the catalogue rather than a "no".
- **Approval before actions** `unknown` — Not specified — no reviewed source answers this, which is a gap in the catalogue rather than a "no".
- **What it remembers** `documented` — Keeps notes and to-dos as a productivity suite alongside calendar and inbox context [1, 3]
- **Edit & export your data** `unknown` — Not specified — no reviewed source answers this, which is a gap in the catalogue rather than a "no".
- **Privacy & isolation** `unknown` — Not specified — no reviewed source answers this, which is a gap in the catalogue rather than a "no".
- **Availability & access** `documented` — Open sign-up with a seven-day free trial [2]
