Indie App Spotlight: ‘Poppy’ is a proactive AI assistant that handles what Siri still can’t

9to5Mac spotlights Poppy, a free iPhone app that acts as a proactive AI assistant.

Poppy connects to personal data sources like email, calendar, and location to surface context, trip ideas, nearby recommendations, and smart reminders.

The app is part of a broader shift toward background AI that helps users before they ask, reducing manual search and organization.

Its approach highlights growing interest in more proactive alternatives to traditional assistants like Siri.
