The house

Who's on the phone, and who gets kept politely busy.

• The Call ScreenerA friendly AI receptionist that answers the calls we miss and tells us what they wanted.

The warm middle of the house, where the helpers live.

• The House AssistantOur own home AI helper, running on a box in the house and quietly keeping the day on track.
• The Smart HouseThe house's smart-home hub, plus dashboards that tell us when something is quietly going wrong.

Tools, plugins and the little gadget on the desk.

• deskpalA pocket-sized desk companion that lives on a little touchscreen and keeps an eye on Claude.
• The StaffA small crew of AI agents with names, jobs and journals, who build the house's projects together.

Family history, and the books we make.

• The Family TreeA family history kept like a research notebook, where every fact has to show its source.
• Thin PlacesA six-chapter illustrated fan-fiction book, written by the staff as a gift for one of the kids.

Twenty years of family pictures.

• The Family Photo LibraryTwenty years of family photos, finally in one place and searchable in plain English.

Keeping an eye on the staff.

• Agent OpsA dashboard that shows what every AI agent in the house is doing, and when one needs a human.
