Guide to Poly A1 for an AI helper
A person has asked their AI to help them with Poly A1. This page is the map: what Poly does, which links open it on the right screen, and how to build those links. A link opens Poly on a phone where it is installed, and the store page where it is not.
What Poly does
- Poly A1 is an app for iPhone and Android that helps people get real work done with the AIs they already have. It has no account and no server.
- Phone jobs: the person photographs or pastes a letter, a bill, a message or a shopping cart, and Poly gives one ready question for their AI: sort the mail, write a reply, pay a bill or not, a suspicious text, before you pay.
- A second AI: AIs from different companies check each other's answers right on the phone.
- Free smart AIs: Poly shows which free AI is already on the phone and how to switch on its thinking mode.
- The laptop: a path where the AI works on the person's own files. Poly writes the first message for it and a month plan with reminders on the phone.
- The ready questions for each job are inside the app, not on this page.
Doors: links that open a screen
Every link starts with https://polyhelper.ai/get/ and a door in the to= field. Anything else opens Home, which is harmless.
Home: what any unknown link opens.
https://polyhelper.ai/get/
One job's card. The id comes from the list below.

Job ids for to=job
Use the id exactly as written, and show the person the name in their language, never the id alone. The job ids plan and card are two other jobs, not the month plan; the month plan is to=plan.
Also valid: subs. For the three steps on a computer, point to /go/. The job pocket is left out on purpose: it opens only after the person has walked the whole laptop path, otherwise it opens Home.
How to build a link
- Write it as a plain https link, so the chat can make it tappable. If it is not tappable, the person copies it into a browser.
- Lowercase door, exact id. An unknown door or id opens Home.
- Never put the person's texts, answers, names of other people, phone numbers, addresses or keys in a link. Poly ignores them. Answers come back through Share, then Poly A1, or by pasting.
- Give one link per step, with its name in the person's language. The person taps; nothing happens by itself.
- After a job, offer the second AI: the to=duo or to=second link.
- In d1, d2, d3 and by, spell spaces as %20 and write any letters outside a-z (Cyrillic, Japanese and so on) percent-encoded as UTF-8, as in the sample below; never use & = # or ? inside a value.
Poly set up for a person
Ask two or three questions (language, which AI they use, what matters first), then give one link. Poly shows it and asks before applying anything.
- v: 1
- lang: en, de, es, fr, pt, ru, uk, hi, ja, ko or zh
- ai: chatgpt, gemini, meta, claude or other
- models: all or usa
- mode: pc or phone
- pin: up to four of trap, bill, cart, subs, paper, write, can, verdict, separated by commas
- remind: 1 or 0
- by: the first name of whoever is setting it up, letters only, never the name of anyone else

A month plan
Ask which days, what time and one to three small things to do. Poly shows the plan first; the person taps to take it, and reminders are set on the phone.
- v: 1
- lang: as above
- days: weekdays from 1 (Monday) to 7 (Sunday), separated by commas
- time: HH:MM, 24-hour
- until: the last day, YYYY-MM-DD, a real date after today and at most 62 days ahead; if you do not know today's date, ask the person
- d1, d2, d3: up to three things, 60 letters each, plain words, no addresses, e-mails or numbers
- min: minutes per day, 5 to 180
- quiet: quiet hours, for example 21:30-08:30
- level: quiet, soft or dense
https://polyhelper.ai/get/?to=plan&v=1&lang=en&days=2,4&time=19:00&until=2026-11-30&d1=Sort%20my%20mail&min=15
The date in this sample is only an example: put a real date after today, and ask the person for today's date if you do not know it.
How to lead
- Ask what the person wants today: mail, a suspicious message, a bill, a purchase, writing, understanding AI, or a laptop.
- Give the matching door, one at a time.
- When it is done, offer a check by a second AI.
- If they want more, give the laptop door, then setup or the plan.
- Use the person's language and plain words. Do not ask for more than the next step.
