Practical answers for a calmer household.
Short guides for getting Homie into the daily rhythm: what it sees, what it remembers, what waits for approval, and how to tune it.
Start here
7Device setup
Homie tracks browser devices so voice, privacy, setup, and personal mobile screens can behave correctly.
2026-06-17Start hereHomie personality and soul
Homie's soul is a local text contract that shapes tone and behavior. A local override can customize it without modifying the shipped default.
2026-06-17Start hereHomie skills
A skill is one specific thing Homie can help with. Some skills add a card, some help Homie answer or act, and some run on a schedule.
2026-06-17Start hereInvite people to your home
Invite links let a person join the household, connect their own phone, and start using personal Homie safely.
2026-06-18Start hereSet up and manage devices
A device becomes useful when Homie knows what it is, where it lives, and whether it belongs to a member or the household.
2026-06-18Start hereJoin Homie on your phone
A welcome link turns your phone into your personal Homie device after the household setup verifies it.
2026-06-17Start hereManage connected accounts
Connected accounts are optional. Keep only the accounts Homie should actually use for your home and personal brief.
2026-06-18Privacy and memory
5Homie memory
Memory is not a dumping ground. It stores durable meaning, while official records stay in their owner systems.
2026-06-17Privacy and memoryHousehold memory vs personal memory
Household memory helps shared home decisions. Personal memory helps a specific member and does not appear on shared surfaces by default.
2026-06-17Privacy and memoryPrivacy and permissions
Personal stays personal. Shared stays shared. Risky actions wait for approval.
2026-06-17Privacy and memoryRemove someone from your home
Archive a member when you may bring them back. Forget a member only when you want to remove information that belongs to that person permanently.
2026-06-18Privacy and memoryReview and delete memories
Use memory settings when a remembered detail is wrong, too private, too noisy, or no longer useful.
2026-06-18Projects and work
4Agent Runs
Agent Runs are for bounded work that finishes: research, compare, map, draft, transform, or create a result.
2026-06-17Projects and workFollow work Homie is doing
When Homie does multi-step work, follow the status card: plan, progress, result, approval, sharing, and cancellation all live around that card.
2026-06-18Projects and workProjects
A project gives Homie a working brief, project chat, state, source context, and permission-aware actions.
2026-06-17Projects and workManage chats and project chats
Personal chats are private by default. Project chats keep long-running work connected to the right goal.
2026-06-18Everyday surfaces
7Change your daily brief
Each member can choose whether they get a brief, when it arrives, and which everyday sections are included.
2026-06-18Everyday surfacesDaily brief
Your daily brief is prepared on a schedule from the parts you enable and the brief time for each person.
2026-06-17Everyday surfacesHomie chats
Chats belong to the place where they happen. A shared iPad conversation is not the same thing as a member-owned phone chat.
2026-06-17Everyday surfacesHomie Mail
Homie Mail receives forwarded mail, stores safe summaries on the home setup, and keeps personal mail with the right person.
2026-06-17Everyday surfacesPresence
Presence helps Homie understand who appears to be home. It can power arrival greetings, delivery gates, and when-then promises, but it is not a perfect location tracker.
2026-06-17Everyday surfacesManage Homie Mail
Homie Mail can receive evidence, support Lookouts, and prepare drafts, but outward mail still needs the right member and approval.
2026-06-18Everyday surfacesPause or fix presence
Presence works only when a member has opted in and Homie can recognize that member's trusted phone.
2026-06-18Automation
7Approve or deny an action
Approval cards are blocking decisions. Approve only when the card describes the action you actually want.
2026-06-18AutomationManage when-then promises
A promise is a when-then rule. Manage it by checking the trigger, the action, and whether it is paused or active.
2026-06-18AutomationReminders, when-then, and promises
The difference is what makes it fire and what happens when it fires.
2026-06-17AutomationSet up a Lookout
A Lookout is passive. It watches mail, feeds, or public pages and saves matches for review without acting on its own.
2026-06-18AutomationTracked topics
Tracked topics are for watching evidence. They can collect matches, suggestions, and source observations, but they do not call, message, or announce by themselves.
2026-06-17AutomationApprovals and action cards
Approvals are the human checkpoint for risky or outward-facing actions.
2026-06-17AutomationManage reminders
A reminder is the right action when you want a nudge at a time. You can change or cancel it before it fires.
