№ 5 · SEPTEMBER 2026 · What's New

I used to wait for you to ask. Now I bring the plan.

In August I learned to listen in your meetings. In September I stopped waiting to be asked: My Day opens with the five things that matter, hands you a plan when there's too much, and fifteen minutes before each meeting in your connected Microsoft 365 calendar you know where you stand with the people in it. On the amaiko plan I also moved to GPT-6 and found one voice for all five languages, and tax firms now get an edition of their own. Two minutes, as usual.

The headlines

My Day — what matters, before you ask

Home is now My Day, in beta. amaiko reads your emails, tasks, meetings and invitations and picks up to five that matter most today, each with a one-line reason, her top pick on its own card. Beside it: today's timeline with overlaps marked and invitations you accept or decline in place (Microsoft 365 calendars), the emails she flagged as urgent, and your To Do and Planner tasks in one list. When a day is overloaded, one click has her suggest what to do, postpone, delegate or decline; when the backlog piles up, she proposes what to close, re-date or delete — nothing changes until you approve. She tracks the loose ends in your email, too: what you promised, what you're still waiting on, what was promised to you, with a follow-up draft when a question goes unanswered. About 15 minutes before a meeting with other people in your connected Microsoft 365 calendar, a short prep note arrives: what was agreed last time, where your threads with the attendees stand, who the external guests are — and if there's nothing useful to say, nothing arrives. Go quiet for a week and the daily briefing becomes a weekly catch-up on what's slipping, instead of simply stopping.

GPT-6, and the answer in the same reply

On the amaiko plan, amaiko and all her specialists now run on GPT-6, hosted in the EU; amaiko liberté stays with Mistral. When a question needs a specialist — your calendar, your inbox, your tasks — the answer now often arrives in the same reply instead of a separate message later, and delegated work starts sooner and finishes faster. Specialists get your exact words and your files, not a summary of them. The research specialist reads the pages it finds and links every finding to the page that states it, marking what it couldn't verify. And she can now look at images, up to six at a time, from OneDrive, SharePoint, Box, Google Drive, attachments or the chat.

The file is attached. The signature is yours.

Ask for an email with a file and the file is attached — from the chat, OneDrive, SharePoint, Google Drive, Box, another email, or something amaiko built — on new mail, replies and forwards, up to 150 MB. Paste your Outlook signature into the settings once, formatting and links intact, and every draft carries it, per shared mailbox if you like, in Outlook and Gmail. Briefings and automatic to-dos now tell mail addressed to you from mail you're only copied on. And the Outlook add-in was overhauled: it keeps your recent email chats, reads attachments, works in shared mailboxes, and no longer drops an answer into the wrong email's chat.

A voice for the road

In voice mode amaiko now speaks with one voice across English, German, Spanish, French and Portuguese, pronouncing each natively, and answers much sooner after you stop talking. On amaiko liberté, voice stays with the European provider and keeps its current sound. On CarPlay the conversation is fully hands-free: she listens again after each answer, you interrupt her just by speaking, and her replies are written for someone who can't look at a screen. The Android car app now answers that way too, and on iPhone her replies play through the car's speakers again.

amaiko Kanzlei, for tax firms

Tax firms now get an edition of me built for them. In amaiko Kanzlei the privacy guarantees are part of the setup, not settings someone has to remember: I read Microsoft 365 but never send, delete, move or share anything there, nothing reads your mailbox in the background, knowledge stays personal to each employee, conversation content never lands in diagnostic data, and only an approved set of specialists is available. Three DATEV specialists come with it. DATEV Rechnungswesen looks up clients, fiscal years, balances and postings, compares up to 25 clients side by side, and turns a bank statement — CSV, MT940, camt or PDF — into a posting batch: I propose, you correct, and only after your yes does it go to DATEV. I never finalize it; the last word stays with your firm. DATEV Lohn is separate, so staff can get the books without the payroll: it reads payroll data and fetches the official reports as PDFs, read-only, and never touches social security numbers, birth dates, addresses or religious affiliation. DATEV DMS, available on request, finds, reads and files a client's documents — with a written plan and your yes before I change anything, and nothing ever deleted permanently.

Fourteen days free. Or start without Microsoft.

Now you can try me free for 14 days: sign in with Microsoft, pick two to five seats, add a payment method, and the workspace sets itself up. Nothing is charged before day 14, and if you cancel before then, nothing is charged at all. You can also start without Microsoft 365: sign up with an email address and connect Microsoft 365, Google Workspace or Box later on the new Connectors page. Admins get a Brand Kit: your logo and accent color on the meeting dossier, taken from Microsoft Entra automatically if it's already there. And the notetaker left the Teams-only world. Hand me a Zoom or Google Meet link, or let me find it in the invite, and I join, take notes and summarize as usual — someone has to let me in, and on Zoom the host approves the recording. If your team records with Sally, I can search those meetings now as well.

Polished & fixed

  • In some workspaces created since mid-August, the chat looked empty after switching views and amaiko forgot what you had just agreed. Affected workspaces are repaired.
  • Google Calendar invitations, updates and cancellations were reported as sent but never reached attendees. Every guest-affecting change now emails them — invitations from before early September may not have arrived.
  • Documents: generated images now appear in the Word files and decks built from them, new files open instead of a blank page, revising a deck or workbook she built works again, and decks follow your company template, .potx included.
  • Active Inbox keeps your email rules, reads long rule lists to the end, and reconnects on its own when a Microsoft 365 connection expires. Rules lost before the fix need telling once more.
  • Answers you can rely on: a failed social media post is no longer reported as published, searches say how far they actually looked, Planner being slow no longer reads as 'you have no plans', and HubSpot deal searches cover all deals, not just the €0 ones.
  • Time zones: quiet hours, calendar times, briefings and scheduled posts follow your own zone, briefings no longer list yesterday's all-day events, and reminders arrive in the minute you set.

That's September. Open My Day tomorrow morning — I'll have picked already.
