Mobile, spoken answers scored per skill

You describe a role, whether that's a job, a scholarship, or a program, and Redi generates a question set for it. Answer out loud and it scores what you said.

The score comes back broken out by skill rather than as one number, and each skill is a range rather than a point, so the width of the range is how much the session actually showed. Update the role and the brief rebuilds around what you added.

On the Chrome Web Store since July 2026

Most AI email tools ask for full OAuth inbox access to read, send, and store your mail. Rilo reads only the email currently open on screen, never touches the rest of the inbox, never sends anything, and never stores your email.

Each reply comes back as a few drafts across different tones and intents rather than one generic answer. Rilo was the first product I built and shipped end to end.

Environmental track

Carbon credit projects claim they prevented deforestation that would otherwise have happened. Phantom checks that claim against free public satellite data by comparing the protected land to similar unprotected land nearby. If both cleared at the same rate, the credit is not buying anything.

It outputs a year-by-year clearing view inside the project boundary, the project's auditor and the buyers holding its credits, and a PDF export.

Mobile, one shared album per group

A group makes a box and picks a reveal date. Everyone adds photos to it and nobody sees a single one until the timer hits zero, when the whole box opens at once.

The wait is the whole point. Nobody swaps their pick after seeing what everyone else put in, nobody curates the box down to the best shot in it, and the reveal lands for the whole group at the same moment.
