Poppy AI: New Proactive Assistant Outsmarts Siri

A new proactive AI assistant called Poppy aims to offer helpful context before you even know you need it. Unlike traditional chatbots, Poppy links to your email, calendar, location, reminders, and health data. It then learns about you in the background. What's interesting is how it provides suggestions. For instance, it alerted one user to an upcoming flight and suggested an itinerary. Another time, it recommended a nearby restaurant when the user was out late. Poppy can also set smart reminders, like suggesting you grab a jacket if the weather turns cold. The bottom line: Poppy aims to reduce digital chaos by finding information for you, rather than you having to search for it. It's available for free on the App Store for iPhone users running iOS 26 and later.
