Boilerplate · copy/paste
Ordaily is an AI executive assistant that runs your admin from WhatsApp. It reads and triages your inbox, drafts replies in your voice, guards your calendar, books and briefs your meetings, and sends a daily briefing (by message or voice note, both ways) and never acts without your approval. Ordaily sits on top of the tools you already use, including Gmail, Google Calendar, Outlook and Fireflies, with more connectors coming. Powered by Claude and ElevenLabs, undergoing independent security assessment (Google CASA), POPIA-compliant and hosted in Johannesburg, Ordaily was built solo by 19-year-old founder Josh Mac Donald in Cape Town. ordaily.ai

Founder bio
Josh Mac Donald is the 19-year-old founder of Ordaily, an AI executive assistant 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.
