Martin

Martin is a personal AI assistant that you can call, text, email or Slack to manage your calendar, inbox, messages and reminders, built for busy people who want something closer to a human assistant than a chatbot. Its standout trait is reach: Martin has a phone number and an email address, so you can delegate from a car, a meeting or a laptop using whatever channel is closest.

What is Martin used for?

Martin handles the small coordination jobs that fill a day. You tell it what you need in plain language and it acts across the accounts you have connected.

• Scheduling meetings by copying Martin on an email thread so it finds a time and sends the invite
• Drafting replies and applying labels so your inbox stays manageable
• Texting a contact your arrival time or forwarding notes to a colleague
• Posting to a Slack channel or reminding you to leave in 20 minutes
• Receiving a wake-up call from an alarm that talks, with your day ahead
• Running custom recurring tasks, such as a morning research digest by email

Who Martin is best for

Martin suits founders, executives, consultants and anyone who juggles a busy calendar but cannot justify a human assistant. It also works well for people with ADHD who benefit from proactive nudges and spoken reminders. Teams wanting a shared assistant for many seats, or people who prefer to manage email themselves in a dedicated client, should look elsewhere.

Martin pricing

As of October 2026 Martin offers a 7-day free trial on its paid plans and no permanent free tier. The Personal plans have two levels. Basic costs $21 per month billed yearly or $35 billed monthly, with basic AI models, limited proactive actions and two tasks at a time. Pro costs $30 per month billed yearly or $49 billed monthly, with the most advanced models, unlimited proactive actions and unlimited custom tasks. The pricing page also lists Business plans for teams. Promotions such as discounted first years appear from time to time on the site.

Limitations to keep in mind

• There is no free plan once the trial ends
• Giving an assistant permission to send messages and emails for you needs careful review at first
• Monthly billing is far more expensive than paying yearly
• The Basic plan limits Martin to two tasks at a time

Martin vs alternatives

Lindy is better if you want to build many specialized agents for work, such as sales follow-ups, with more control over each workflow. Motion and Reclaim AI focus on automatic calendar planning, slotting tasks and habits into your week, and are stronger for time blocking. Shortwave and Superhuman are AI-first email clients, the better choice if inbox speed is your main problem. Martin wins when you want one assistant that you can phone or text, which coordinates calendar, email, messages and reminders together.

Tips for getting started with Martin

Connect your calendar and email first, then try the CC to schedule feature on a real meeting request to see it work. Save your preferences, like meeting lengths and quiet hours, in conversation early so Martin applies them to later tasks. Start on the trial with Pro to see the full feature set, then decide whether Basic covers your use.
