The third job
Three jobs hide inside “how do I”: tell me what is true, tell me what I should do, and do it with me. Most financial products answer the first two and hand you a checklist for the third. Hence Assistant exists for the third one. You ask your assistant for something — the rate on every debt you carry, your full 401(k) match, a lower APR — and Hence Assistant takes it from there: it signs in where it needs to, reads the real numbers off the real pages, asks you only for what is structurally yours to give, and finishes with a result that names its own state honestly.It is a connector, not another app
You reach Hence Assistant through the assistant you already use. You add it once as a connector, consent once, and from then on the errand runs from whatever conversation you are already in. There is a Hence app, and an errand started from a conversation will be visible there too, but you never have to go to it to start one. Two things follow from that shape:- Your assistant relays, it does not act. It repeats our questions in its own voice and returns your answers. The errand itself runs on our side.
- No credential passes through the conversation. A password or a one-time code is entered by you on a single-use page on our domain, and the assistant never sees it. Everything else does go through the conversation, because that is the channel you chose: the questions Hence Assistant asks, your answers, and the figures it reports back — balances, rates, account nicknames — are relayed by your assistant and are subject to whatever its provider retains.
Every errand names where it stops
Every errand publishes a ceiling: the furthest state it may reach. The ceiling is enforced in the runtime, not just written down, and it is published before you start so you know what you are delegating. See the five outcome states for what each state means. The first five errands in the pilot, with their published ceilings:
The rollover ceiling is the one to read twice. Submitting a distribution request is irreversible,
so Hence Assistant does not submit it. It gets everything to the review page, screenshots it,
and leaves the last click to you. That is a deliberate limit, not a gap.
What it will not do
A short list that does not move: it does not move money between your accounts, sign anything on your behalf, prove your identity for you, or enter a credential itself. Anything that confers legal status is structurally yours. Where an errand meets a hard stop — an active debt lawsuit, identity theft, insolvency, an irreversible tax election — it stops and points you at a human professional.Start here
