Boilerplate · copy/paste
Ordaily is an AI PA (personal assistant) in WhatsApp for business owners and solo professionals. It handles your email, calendar and task admin, and sends nothing without your yes. It sorts your inbox, drafts replies in your voice, books, moves and cancels your meetings, and sends a morning briefing by message or voice note. It is an AI virtual assistant for your own admin, not a customer-service chatbot. Ordaily sits on top of the tools you already use, including Gmail, Google Calendar, Slack (beta), ClickUp (beta) and Fireflies; Google Drive is coming soon. Outlook mail and Microsoft Calendar are in beta. Powered by leading AI models, a verified Google Workspace app, built for POPIA and hosted in Johannesburg, Ordaily was built solo by 19-year-old founder Josh Macdonald in Cape Town. ordaily.ai

Founder bio
Josh Macdonald is the 19-year-old founder of Ordaily, an AI PA (personal assistant) in WhatsApp that he built solo in Cape Town. He started Ordaily on a simple observation: the founders around him already ran their day from WhatsApp, so the assistant should live there too, not in yet another dashboard.
