Zinley led with 401 points as a "personal AI representative" shipping with its own phone number, email address and computer, answering calls, handling email, booking things, following up, all within user-defined rules. The positioning is explicitly against chat-bound assistants: Zinley is reachable not just by you but by the people around you, and it remembers relationships across interactions. Agent-as-endpoint rather than agent-as-feature, which is what makes it a substitute for an executive assistant seat rather than an add-on to one.
