Quick Start

Step 1 Download MyNaavi

Open Google Play Store on your Android phone, search for MyNaavi, and tap Install. iPhone version is on the way — tell us if you want to know when.

Step 2 Sign in with your Google account

Tap Sign in with Google and pick your usual account.

MyNaavi works on top of the things you already use — Google Calendar, Gmail, Contacts, Google Drive. Signing in lets MyNaavi check your schedule, send messages on your behalf, and save things you ask MyNaavi to remember, without you switching apps.

Step 3 Allow notifications

Tap Allow when Android asks if MyNaavi can send notifications.

Notifications are how MyNaavi gets your attention — a phone call when you arrive at a place you care about, a text reminder, or a quiet alert. Without permission, MyNaavi can't ring your phone.

Step 4 Allow location — "all the time"

When Android asks about location, choose Allow all the time.

MyNaavi only knows you've arrived somewhere if location is allowed while the app is in the background. "While using the app" sounds safer, but it means MyNaavi can't help you when your phone is in your pocket while you drive home. MyNaavi never stores a history of where you've been — only checks whether you're at a place you named.

If your phone ever revokes this permission later (some Android updates, or Samsung's Sleeping Apps, do this quietly), MyNaavi notices the next time you open the app: a red banner appears at the top of your Alerts list — "Location alerts aren't armed. Tap to fix." One tap re-prompts you, and your alerts are armed again. No silent failures.

Step 5 Tell MyNaavi your first name

In Settings → Your name, type your first name.

MyNaavi greets you by name on phone calls and signs every outgoing message with your name — so the people you message see your name, not "MyNaavi."

Step 6 Add your home and work address

In Settings → Home address and Work address, type your real addresses.

Once these are set, you can say "home" or "office" instead of typing the full address every time. Examples: "remind me when I get home", "alert me 15 minutes before I should leave for the office."

Step 7 Add backup phone numbers Optional

In Settings → Phone numbers, add any other numbers you might call MyNaavi from — your spouse's mobile, a work line, a home landline.

When you call MyNaavi at +1 249 523 5394, MyNaavi recognizes you by the phone you're calling from. Adding extra numbers means MyNaavi knows it's you even if you're not on your own phone. Skip this if you only ever call from your own mobile.

Step 8 Set a four-digit PIN Recommended

In Settings → Voice PIN, set a memorable 4-digit number.

A safety net: if MyNaavi doesn't recognize the phone you're calling from (a friend's phone, a hotel landline, a payphone), MyNaavi asks for your PIN before letting you in. Three wrong attempts and the call ends — so pick something only you know.

Step 9 Pick your alert channels Optional

In Settings → Alert channels, choose which channels MyNaavi uses when an alert fires for you. Five toggles:

• Text message (SMS) — standard text to your phone.
• WhatsApp — works on Wi-Fi.
• Email — to your Gmail account.
• Push notification — pop-up on this phone.
• Voice call — Naavi calls you and speaks the alert.

All five are on by default — so an important alert never goes unseen. Turn off the ones you don't want. The one rule: at least one channel must stay on, so the alert always reaches you somehow. These choices apply to your own alerts; alerts you've set up to text someone else still go to them on the channels they expect.

Step 10 Try your first command

Tap the microphone in the app and say:

"Hi MyNaavi, what's on my calendar today?"

MyNaavi reads your day back out loud. That's it — you're set up. From here on, you're talking to MyNaavi the way you'd talk to a person.
