Slashy and Tallis for a solo founder’s work
What matters
Tallis Planned offer
Slashy Public information

A continuing conversation through Telegram and a web chat, without running your own agent. [T]
A desktop email client replacing your current one. [1][2]
Work to hand over
Recurring research, drafted communication and controlled upkeep of existing accounts and sites. [T]
Drafts, triage, follow-ups, meeting prep and CRM updates from the inbox. [1][2]
Control over actions
Exact previews in Preview mode; policy-based Guardrails and Autopilot, with pause and records of outcomes. [T]
You send from the client; no separate approval flow documented. [1][2]
Access and cost
Waitlist. Confirm launch pricing and workflow availability before subscribing. [T]
Third-party listings on 2026-09-10: Professional $25 per user per month billed annually, Enterprise custom, 7-day trial with card. Slashy’s own site did not render to our fetch; confirm before buying. [1][2]
Which fits you?
Start with your next useful task.
Consider Slashy if you want to replace your email client with one that drafts and files for you. Consider Tallis if you want to keep your tools and hand over jobs that span inbox, research and routines, with receipts. Switching clients is a bigger change than adding an agent; weigh that.
This is our assessment of fit. We have not run a head-to-head performance or reliability test.
Try this before deciding
A useful test beats a feature count.
Suggested evaluation steps, not a test we have performed.
Move one week of real email into it and count what you still did by hand.
Ask for a follow-up that depends on a document outside the inbox.
Export your data and note what came with you.
Before you choose
Questions worth asking.
Should an assistant replace my email client?
Only if the inbox is most of your work. A client can be faster inside email and blind outside it. Tallis is designed to work across your accounts from a chat, so email is one input, not the whole world. Count how much of your day is inbox before deciding. [1][2]

Sources and review
Published by Tallis, one of the products compared. This is an editorial comparison of public information, not an independent product audit. We separate published claims, our planned offer and our assessment of fit.
Tallis is being built for a solo founder or operator: private ongoing context, included model access, recurring research, and controlled actions in connected accounts. Telegram and a web chat are the launch channels. Preview requires an exact preview and approval. Guardrails and Autopilot use the permissions you set; every mode retains pause and records of outcomes.
Access is currently by waitlist. These launch intentions are not a claim that every workflow is available today. Shared teams, an app-builder marketplace and unrestricted purchases are outside the initial offer. See Tallis.
