Your calendar is already decided. Everything around it isn't.
Staira is a daily operating system for people whose days are locked, not open. It lives in a text thread, reads what's already fixed, and never proposes moving it. It runs the prep, the recovery, and the one or two things that genuinely need your judgment today.
Six questions, asked one at a time. No dashboard to learn.
Tuesday, 7:12am
Morning. Three things are already fixed today — four hours of them, starting with the board call at 9. I won't touch any of it.
Slept badly. Feeling flat.
Then today the meetings ARE the day, and everything else is held. That's not a shortfall — that's an accurate read of what you signed up for.
You mentioned the Harrow memo on Sunday. I'd rather hold it than have you half-do it. Thursday morning, 40 minutes, inside your window?
Stone and clay
Stone is what's already fixed: board calls, investor lunches, flights, portfolio reviews. Staira never proposes moving these. Not for a bad night's sleep, not for anything.
Clay is everything else: the prep before, the recovery after, and whatever's floating. That is the only territory Staira touches.
It reads the day. It doesn't rearrange it.
The one exception: if a standing meeting keeps landing in your sharpest hour, Staira raises it once, with a note already drafted. Never an automated change. Never twice.
One thing at a time.
You never see a backlog. At most one floating item, sized to the gap it fits. Everything else is held with a date.
Your words, not its ideas.
Staira reflects back what you actually said and sizes it. It doesn't write your priorities for you — people follow through on their own decisions, not on generated ones.
A day of only meetings still counts.
No streaks, no badges, no overdue. Showing up is the whole measure.
What it does through the day
Morning
Reads how you landed, sizes the gaps between your commitments, and asks for one thing at most.
Midday
A three-tap pulse — better, same, worse — that reshapes the open afternoon, and a checkpoint after each commitment ends.
Evening
A closing beat: what got resolved, one true observation about your day, and one line about tomorrow.
When it's hard
It finds the five-minute act that still counts, holds the rest overnight, and shows you a real past day that mirrored this one.
What doesn't need you
Anything that doesn't require your judgment gets a drafted handoff to a named person — ready for one tap, never sent for you.
Across the year
Board cycles, audits, the weeks you're always away — it shifts ahead of them rather than reacting after.
Free, and it stays that way
No plan to choose, no trial countdown, no card. Set it up and start using it. If Staira isn't earning its place in your day, close the tab — nothing follows you.
In the thread
A real assistant you can talk to in your own words, any time — it sizes what you say to the gaps you actually have, holds what won't fit, and drafts the handoffs.

Text delivery is built and waiting on a sending domain. Add your number and carrier in Connections now; the morning, midday and evening beats start arriving as texts the day the domain is attached.
Set up deliveryBefore you hand us anything
We read your calendar to see what's fixed. We do not write to it unless you say yes, in words, in the thread.
Sleep and movement, if you connect them, change how much Staira asks of you. They are never shown to anyone else — including anyone you've given the family view to.
Every observation names its basis. You'll read "based on your last three Tuesdays", never "based on your patterns". If a claim ever sounds vague, ask, and Staira will tell you exactly where it came from.
Nothing is sold. Nothing trains a public model. In this preview, everything stays in your browser and you can erase it in one tap from the Operating Manual.
