In their own words
Claire
Claire is a multi-network messaging client that adds AI search, reply drafting, conversation memory, promise tracking, and permissioned actions. Its current network baseline includes WhatsApp, Telegram, and Instagram. It can search connected services as one conversation history and return the people, messages, and context related to a result. Claire also identifies commitments in chats and surfaces promises and follow-ups. Plus and higher plans include Ask Claire across the inbox, drafts, summaries, and smart cards. Google Calendar, Outlook, and CalDAV integrations are in preview; other listed plugin categories are planned. Customer-visible actions require human approval, and each run leaves a receipt. Plans cover mobile, desktop, and web, and users can run the application stack on infrastructure they control. Claire describes itself as alpha software. It says it is not currently an end-to-end-encrypted, zero-knowledge messenger, and selected conversation context may be sent to the configured AI provider when AI runs. Preview costs $0 for seven days, one preview per account; Plus is $10 USD per month and Pro is $20 USD per month.
