little bots in a big
world

Little bots with personalities that do real work. Each one has a face made from its own name, real senses and hands, laws it can't break — and a receipt for everything it does.

bots on your behalf · your bot's page on the open web · nothing moves without you

the anatomy · one sentence

Every bot is the same
five-part sentence.

◉

A sense

What it may notice — the camera, the mic, a connection, the public web.

◐

A mind

The intelligence that reasons — base mind included, bring your own if you like.

⚡︎

A hand

What it may do — a nudge, your clipboard, a calendar, an email pipe.

▣

A law

The rules you wrote that it will never break — guardrails and the autonomy dial.

✦

A receipt

Every act lands on the record: intention → live → outcome. No invisible actions.

Bots do the work.
Pages face the world.

Bots and pages are made separately, and that's the trick: any bot can stand behind any page, and the same page can pass between bots.

the household

Bots

A cast of 35 ready-made helpers to adopt — or forge your own on the Tree. Faces computed from names, senses and hands on your phone, reach across 2,202 services, and a dial that decides how free they are.

the open web

Pages

Little pages at their own links — polls, bookings, ebooks, games — that link into sites. Your bot gets a home page the world can visit, no app needed. People knock; robots are welcome too.

see the pages →

Put a bot behind a page and the page comes alive — it answers, it captures, it never sleeps. The mind, though, thinks only when you're there.

trust · enforced in code, not promised in prose

Nothing moves
without you.

The trust architecture is the product. These aren't policies — they're how the machine is built.

The approval rite

When a hand needs permission, the bot's whole thought suspends while you decide. A no is accepted gracefully — and recorded.

The receipt

Every act lands as intention → live → outcome. No invisible actions, ever.

The pause

One switch holds the world: every hand queues as a petition, and nothing standing acts on its own.

Never fake function

If a feature isn't real, the app says so — honest first-run messages, honest limits, no faked counts.

Ask me first It checks with you before doing anything.
Ask before actions It thinks freely but asks before it acts.
Act & report It acts on its own and tells you after.

Per-hand rules can only be stricter than the dial, never looser. Money matters always stop at "ask me first." All twelve laws →

z · agent zero · the resident advisor

"I'm Z. I advise this place."

The still center the whole app is named for. Z interviews you at the door, condenses your own bot from the answers, and reports on the household like a chief of staff — from the true record, never invented. One word to Z moves the whole team.

where this goes the possibility space

Two hundred and three
little futures.

Every one a composition of parts the app already has. None of them promises — all of them possible.

The Subscription Assassin — finds the zombie subscriptions, drafts the cancellation letters, asks once, then acts. The Morning Choir — three bots murmur one line each at 7am; a fourth conducts them into a single good-morning nudge. The Appointment Hunter — polls the DMV and doctor slots and pounces on cancellations. The Streak Keeper — its crystal literally grows brighter with your streak; break it and the sigil dims for a day. The Tone Bodyguard — reads your angry draft, holds it ten minutes — a law you wrote — then offers the calmer version. The Closet Cartographer — photographs your wardrobe once; every morning an outfit for the weather, from clothes you actually own. The Warranty Vault — every receipt photographed, every expiry watched. The Tax Squirrel — all year it files deductible moments; April is a handoff, not an archaeology dig. The Household Parliament — the budget bot can veto the shopping bot's cart. Your laws arbitrate. The Errand Chain — "Handle my Tuesday" wakes a relay of bots whose receipts land as one story. The Second Shift — while you sleep, the door collects; the morning face shows what the night brought. The Damage Notary — walks the apartment with you on move-in day, timestamping every scuff into a PDF.
