# Sift — Your life, on autopilot

> Sift is an AI assistant that connects to Canvas, your calendar, and your email — then actually does something with them. It texts you about deadlines you forgot, tells you what you need on the final to keep your grade, and plans your day before you're awake.

## Product Overview

Sift is built by Lucence Labs. It's an AI assistant that connects your existing tools — Canvas LMS, Google Calendar, Outlook, Gmail, and iMessage — and proactively manages your schedule, tasks, email, and communications without waiting to be asked. It lives in your messages, on a web dashboard, and soon in a native iOS app.

## What Sift Does

- Proactive Briefings: Morning texts with your schedule, deadlines, weather, and what needs attention — without being asked
- Canvas Intelligence: Automatic assignment tracking, grade monitoring, and grade forecasting (e.g. "what do I need on the final to keep my B?")
- AI Scheduling: Time-blocked study plans, automatic rescheduling around conflicts, and calendar management from a text message
- Email Management: Monitors your inbox and surfaces what matters — professor emails, internship responses, financial aid — while filtering noise
- iMessage & SMS: Text Sift like a friend to manage your life without opening another app
- Web Dashboard: See your tasks, calendar, notes, and projects laid out in one place
- Natural Language Automations: Say "text me whenever I get an important email" or "remind me to start studying 3 days before any exam" and Sift creates a persistent automation that runs in the background
- Screenshot Parsing: Text a photo of a syllabus or event flyer and Sift extracts dates, details, and adds them to your calendar
- Deep Memory: Builds a knowledge graph of your classes, goals, habits, and preferences — so every interaction has real context
- Flight Check-in: Checks you in for flights automatically
- Email Drafting: "Email my professor asking for a deadline extension" — Sift drafts and sends on your behalf
