What Penny does
Penny is a voice assistant app, built to work completely hands-free. You wake it with a spoken phrase, then talk to it naturally — it understands requests and carries them out, the same way you'd ask a person sitting next to you.
Calls & messages
Call or text a contact by name, with a spoken confirmation before anything is sent.
Calendar & tasks
Ask what's on your schedule, set reminders, jot down notes or a shopping list.
Navigation
Get directions to a place, or back to where you parked.
Music
Control Spotify playback — play, pause, skip, search — without touching the phone.
Weather & questions
Ask anything — Penny answers using Google's Gemini.
Live translation
Speak in one language, hear it translated aloud in another.
Privacy
Penny only accesses what it needs to carry out the request you make, and nothing happens silently in the background — no proactive notifications, no data collection beyond what a specific feature needs. See the full privacy policy for details on exactly what's accessed and why.
