A.I. that makes
you better.
Harlan is an AI assistant company. We build hyper-focused AI personalities that help you with specific parts of your life — through text messages. No apps to download. No interfaces to learn. Just conversations.
How it started
It started with a maltipoo
named Grover.
My wife and I adopted Grover. We were both raised with dogs, but we'd never been solely responsible for one — so having a dog rely on us was a whole new experience. We wanted to get everything right.
That meant a lot of Googling — what to feed him, how to train him, whether something was normal for a golden. I tried chatting with AI apps for help, but every conversation started from scratch — I'd have to remind it of Grover's breed, his food, his quirks. Nothing remembered him. I kept thinking: why can't I just text someone who already knows everything about my dog?
So I built it. Harlan is the assistant I wished existed — one that knows Grover by name, remembers what he eats and how he acts, and works the way I actually communicate: through text messages, not another app I'll forget to open. Grover is still its most demanding beta tester.

Our belief
Technology should simplify your life, not complicate it.
Every year, we download more apps and use fewer of them. AI assistants keep getting more powerful, but also more complex — new interfaces, new workflows, new things to learn.
We started Harlan with a simple question: what if AI met you where you already are? You already text every day. You already have conversations. What if getting help was as simple as texting a friend?
That's what Harlan does. It's a specialist that knows everything about your pet — their food, their routine, their quirks. It remembers your history, reaches out proactively, and works entirely through text messages.
How we build
One focus, deep knowledge
Harlan is a specialist, not a generalist. It knows one domain deeply — everything about your pet, from food to training to health history. Depth over breadth.
It comes to you
Harlan doesn't wait for you to open an app. It texts you — vet reminders, medication refills, timely tips. The best tool is the one that shows up when you need it.
No app, ever
We will never ask you to download an app. Text messages are universal, reliable, and already part of your daily routine. That's the whole point.
