How June's Help works: your AI estate assistant

How does June's Help work?

The steps run in the order a family usually meets them, from signing up to the file.

The June's Help walk-through

1. Sign up. The start page asks where the estate is, then two boxes to tick, a few details, an optional letter and an email address that receives a link.
2. Answer three questions. Once the link is opened, the page asks three questions, each answered Yes, No or Not sure, and each can be skipped.
3. See the plan. The answers switch steps on or off, and the page gives the number in a sentence such as "Your plan is ready: 40 steps." The plan page lists them in six parts.
4. Open Today, which shows what is next.
5. Add letters. A photo from a phone is enough, and a reply to an email from June with photos attached works too.
6. Read what June sends back. A letter from a bank, a life insurer, a pension or Social Security gets its own page in plain words.
7. Follow the due dates. A date appears only when the letter prints it, and with the assistant plan a reminder email goes out before a due date.
8. Share the plan and the letters. With the assistant plan, a relative can read them through a family seat, an extra on top of the plan.
9. Export or delete the file. The person who signed up can export it as one web page, and "Delete my data" removes it.

Can I email a letter to June's Help?

Yes, by replying to an email from June. Write from the address of your account, and attach a photo of the letter as a JPEG, PNG or HEIC image. Email from any other address is not read, and no reply is sent.

A photo of the letter works best, one letter at a time, and up to ten photos in one email. If a letter can't be read, or an email has more in it than June can read at once, June writes back to the address of your account and says what to try. A letter can also be added on your page at any time.

What happens after a letter is added?

June reads the letter and makes a page for it. For a bank, a life insurer, a pension or Social Security, the page quotes the letter's own lines beside plain words, lists the dates it prints, says what it asks, and offers questions for the sender. It carries the line "Check each quote and date against the original."

Another kind gets only the sender, its printed dates and a line saying who can help. Medical papers are refused.

What does June's Help do?

June's Help does these things for a family:

• Asks three Yes, No or Not sure questions, then shows the Texas steps, which the person who signed up ticks done.
• Reads a letter from a bank, a life insurer, a pension or Social Security in plain words, with its own lines quoted.
• Takes a PDF as well as a photo, and looks up what letters ask for and their printed dates on the Ask June page.
• Suggests questions to ask the sender and points to the official pages that go with the letter.
• With the assistant plan, emails reminders before due dates and a weekly check-in, and offers family seats as an extra.
• Gives the family a file to export and a way to delete everything.

How do the dates and the reminders work?

A date is listed only when the letter prints it. June does not work out a date from other words, and a letter that prints none gets the line "No date is printed on it, so I haven't made one up."

A due date is a date a letter asks something by, or sets something for. With the assistant plan, a reminder email goes out before a due date, on the days the person who signed up picks (three days before until then) and at 9 am in the time zone set at sign-up unless another hour is picked, to the person who signed up and not to a seat holder.

The person who signed up can tick a date done with "Mark done", and then it gets no more reminder emails. "Undo" puts it back.

The date of the letter itself and other printed dates appear on the page and get no reminder. The weekly check-in comes with the assistant plan too: every seven days, an email lists up to three of the next due dates, or says that none is on the list.

What does June's Help not do?

She does not give legal advice, act in court, arrange funerals or chase money claims. June doesn't replace your lawyer. She keeps your letters and dates ready to show one.

A reading quotes the letter without telling the family what to pay or what to do. June's Help sends no letter or notice to a company or an office for the family, and it does not say whether a letter is real.

How are personal details protected?

Our code (not AI) hides the names you gave us, addresses, and account and ID numbers before June reads a letter. It can miss a name it doesn't know, like a sibling's, or a very short number.

Only the person who signed up can see the original letters. A medical bill or record is refused: if one arrives, it is deleted from the file at once, and the page says why.

What happens to the file when the plan ends?

"Export my data" gives a copy of the file in a form that can be opened and kept. The link is on the Account page, called "Plan and billing", under "Your data", and it downloads as one web page, "Your file from June's Help", that any browser can open and print.

The page opens with the due dates printed on the letters, soonest first, each with the letter's own line, and then come the letters, oldest first. A letter from a bank, a life insurer, a pension or Social Security shows its sender, the day it arrived and June's reading. A letter of another kind shows its sender and its dates.

The export holds no photos and no original letters. Only the person who signed up can use it, and June's Help sends it to no one, so the family decides who sees it.

After your plan ends, your file stays readable for 30 days, and you can export it. We email you two reminders, then delete it, unless you choose keep my file.

"Keep my file" is a choice named on the Account page. That page and the Terms say when it is offered, what it includes and what it costs. Export my data stays available either way, so a family can take a copy before it decides.

"Delete my data" is a link in the footer. It opens a page that says "This removes everything, all at once" and lists what goes: the plan and its steps, the letters and June's readings of them, the answers to the start questions, the dates and reminders, the account and any family seats. A few payment, refund and legal records stay, with no personal details in our systems, and encrypted backups last 30 days. The page asks for a tick in the box "I understand this can't be undone" before the button "Delete everything", and it offers "Keep my data" instead. A seat holder can use it too, to remove the seat and the holder's own details.

The June's Help export steps

1. Sign in with the email address used with June's Help. A link arrives by email, and it opens the family's page.
2. Choose Account in the header. The page is called Plan and billing.
3. Find "Your data", then "Export", and choose "Export my data".
4. Open the downloaded page in a browser, or keep it with the family's other files.

Where are the price and the terms?

The home page shows the price, and the Terms hold the details. The Account page is where the assistant plan, the receipts and the family seats live.

Who is June?

June is an AI assistant, not a person and not a lawyer, and she will always say so. Her pages carry a note that her reading is not a substitute for the advice of an attorney.
