What is a Nym?

A Nym is a personal assistant you can text or call. You tell it what’s bugging you, like a gym you keep paying for or a gift you haven’t bought, and it does the work. You get asked before it buys or changes anything.

What you hand it

You hand over the job, not the steps. The research, the emails, the booking and the follow-up happen without you, so it stops sitting on your list.

Ask it to cancel the gym, and you see the plan and the renewal date before you say yes. Ask for dinner ideas, and you get a week of meals with the grocery list.

What it uses so you don’t have to

Your Nym writes to a landlord or a shop from its own email address, so your inbox stays yours. It signs in to sites and fills in forms in its own browser.

You can text it or call it on any plan. On Plus and Pro, it can also buy things for you and send invitations from its own calendar.

How it’s different from a chatbot

With a chatbot, you get an answer and then do the work yourself. With a Nym, you get the job done.

You don’t repeat how you like things, because it remembers. You can close the chat and it keeps going, and it checks back in when you’ve asked it to. It can also build you a small app, like a workout log, that keeps your entries.

How many you can have

You can have as many as you like, Free included.

You can start from a Personal Trainer, Shopper, Assistant, Chef or Teacher, then change it into whatever you need.

What you pay

You can start free, with 500 credits a month. For $20 a month, Plus lets your Nym buy for you and do jobs on a schedule. For $60, Pro gives you 7,000 credits and as many personal apps as you want.

Nym isn’t nym.com or Nym Health

If you searched for Nym and landed somewhere else: this Nym lives at usenym.com and is made by Metonymous. nym.com is a privacy network, and Nym Health is a medical-coding company. Neither is connected to us.

Questions

Is a Nym a real person?

No. A Nym is software. It works on your behalf and checks with you before anything that costs money or changes an account.

Can a Nym buy things for me?

Yes, on Plus and Pro. It orders from stores like Amazon and from independent online shops. You see the item and the total, and nothing is bought until you approve it.

Can I text my Nym?

Yes, on any plan, including Free. You can also call it or chat with it in the app.

Does it read my email?

Only if you connect Gmail or Outlook, and you can disconnect at any time. It has its own address for writing to people for you.

What kinds of jobs can I give it?

Anything you’d hand a capable assistant: cancel a subscription, chase a refund, find a gift under $60, plan the week’s dinners, sort out a trip, or practice Spanish before you go.

How do I get one?

Nym is in early access. Request access and we’ll email you when it’s your turn.
