Proactive household

Notices what needs doing — before you ask.

A household agent watches school emails, the calendar and chores, proposes who does what, and coordinates the family.

Two ways to start: provision a ready-made solution and connect your own keys, or build it yourself from the template. Free during beta — see pricing.

In practice

A school email announces a bake sale next Tuesday. The household agent spots it, proposes who bakes and who drops off, adds it to the calendar and reminds the family the night before — turning a buried email into a handled plan.

How it works

  1. 1

    A school email, calendar event or recurring chore fires a signal.

  2. 2

    The agent notices something needs action.

  3. 3

    It proposes who does what and coordinates across members.

  4. 4

    Reminders keep it on track — proactive, not just reactive.

Set it up with prompts

Three ways to build this — pick a variant and type the prompts in order. Each step says which agent to address. A working Proactive household workspace in minutes.

Watches school email and the calendar; turns loose signals into proposed actions.

  1. 1Build the watcherOnboarding box

    New workspace → "Describe your company" → Build my company

    Set up a proactive household agent: it watches our family inbox and calendar, and when something needs action — a school letter with a date, a clashing appointment, a form to return — it proposes who should do what by when, in one short message to the family chat. It proposes; we decide.

    The mental load of noticing moves to the agent; deciding stays with you.

  2. 2Connect the appsYou (UI)

    Apps → Connect

    Connect Gmail and Google Calendar with your keys/OAuth. Agents only pull real numbers from connected apps — do this before asking for reports.

  3. 3Calibrate the noiseHousehold agent

    Inbox → Household agent

    Only bring us: school/kita letters with dates or forms, calendar conflicts, and anything with a deadline within 14 days. Everything else — stay silent. One digest at 19:00, urgent things immediately.

    A proactive agent that respects your attention — digest by default, urgent by exception.
