Cameras and alarms
Every camera event described: a person, a vehicle, a parcel, the doorbell. An alert says what happened and offers one thing to do.
Features
Everything your steward looks after.
The house, the estate, the steward itself and the screens you meet it on, with the limits each one keeps.
Locks and guests
Every lock asks first. Guests join with an invitation that lasts 72 hours by default, a fortnight at most, and see only what they need.
Lights, heating and scenes
Lights, blinds, heating and scenes through Home Assistant, by voice or by a tile.
Who is home
Wi-Fi, Home Assistant and each phone’s geofence, weighed every 30 seconds: home, arriving, leaving, away or asleep.
Routines
When something happens and the conditions hold, do this. Approved once, and rehearsed against last week before it runs.
RoutinesEnergy
Half-hourly prices from Octopus. The cheapest two hours announced the night before, and unusual use spotted.
Network
UniFi or ExtremeCloud: new devices on the network, access points that drop, the internet going down.
Sound and television
What is playing in every room, on the wall. A camera laid over the television for 90 seconds, by voice or by a routine.
Parcels
Read from your order emails and followed from dispatch to the door: Royal Mail, DPD, Evri, UPS and the rest.
Renewals and admin
Insurance, the MOT, warranties and subscriptions, found in your documents and post, confirmed by you, and reminded at 30, 7 and 1 days.
Documents
Scanned for viruses, read once, and searchable by what they say. Answers quote the page they came from.
Health of the house
Low batteries, devices that have gone quiet, network equipment offline, and the power the house is drawing now.
Companies and structure
Holding companies, trusts, partnerships and the people around them. Ownership worked through every layer; circular holdings caught.
Money
Xero, QuickBooks and Stripe side by side: cash, overdue invoices, bills due, payouts. Read only.
Takings
Daily takings from Stripe by company and by month, with more than a year of history.
Projects and tasks
Milestones and tasks, with whatever is late brought forward. Say a list aloud and it becomes tasks once you keep it.
The post and the diary
What is unanswered, across every account. Replies drafted in your words; nothing sent without your yes.
Messages
Your WhatsApp Business number and your Telegram bot, beside your mail in one inbox.
Posting
LinkedIn and Reddit posts written, scheduled and published only once you have approved them.
Errands
Longer jobs carried to the end: a plan of up to twelve steps, approved once, with questions answered from any screen.
Construction
For firms on Graftix: who is on site, open RFIs, incidents, risks and project money, on the office wall.
Named by you
On the first day you name it. Names that would wake another assistant are declined in one plain line.
Voice
Speak or type. Interrupt it at any point. Once voices are enrolled, it knows who is speaking.
VoiceThe morning brief
The state of things first, then what needs you, then one offer. An evening wrap-up too, if you like.
Noticed
A door unlocked for half an hour, the alarm unset in an empty house, a parcel stalled for five days. Six notices a day at most, and quiet at night.
Memory, with its source
What it remembers is kept with where it learnt it. Strike out any line. Children’s and guests’ words are never kept.
Everything, in one thread
Your own private conversation that asks each of your homes and businesses on your behalf, under each one’s rules.
A browser of its own
For sites with no API, a disposable browser it reads for you, step by recorded step. It never pays, and financial sites are refused.
Skills
Signed bundles of tools, routines and tiles, reviewed before they are offered. Installing one accepts its tier once.
For developersApprovals
Money, messages, access and deletion come to you as one line, on the phone or the wall: Approve, or Not now.
Discretion
IV.
The tiles
Twenty-eight tiles for the wall.
Arrange them on a 24 by 12 grid. Each opens to the detail behind it, offers what it can do, and takes a question about itself.

Screens
The same steward on every screen in the house.
The wall
An iPad by the door. Scenes for the morning, the evening and the office, each a dot along the bottom edge. Portrait or landscape.
The phone
Home is the wall, flowed into one column. Approvals, Ask, the timeline and the cameras, with alerts that can be answered from the lock screen.
iPhone widgets
Today, Ask and Needs you on the home screen, and a parcel out for delivery on the lock screen until it arrives.
A tablet as a wall
Any tablet becomes a screen of its own, paired in a moment from your phone and revoked just as quickly.
The television
A ten-foot view driven by the remote: the cameras in a grid, and the house at a glance.
Alexa
Ask from any Echo. Small things happen at once; anything that asks first becomes an approval on your phone.
A steward for the whole estate.
