Build updates

What's new — written automatically when something ships to production.

June 2026

  1. Internal socket refactor — no user-visible changes

    Moved real-time socket wiring under the hood; Homie’s features and behavior are unchanged for families and devices.

    by Jonas66e8d74
  2. Smarter, hands-off feature pitches and setup

    Homie now suggests unadopted features, can configure accepted skills with visible progress and restarts, tracks household interests, invites members, and expands the morning brief.

    • New

      Automatic setup for suggested skills

      When you accept a suggested skill, Homie can configure and enable it, show in-place progress, and restart if needed; services requiring credentials still ask you to sign in.

    • New

      Pitches for features and household invites

      Homie will actively suggest unadopted features and can generate/send invite links to add household members via email or phone.

    • Improved

      Homie learns and uses household interests

      A decaying interest tally tracks what your household mentions; recurring interests become "established" and guide which features Homie pitches.

    • Improved

      Morning brief can be enabled or extended

      Accepting the morning brief now seeds a default 07:30 time for members missing one, and Homie can add individual components (weather, news, calendar, commute, birthdays).

    • Improved

      Nightly backstop to surface missed pitches

      If a suggested pitch never comes up in conversation, Homie will enqueue a gentle nightly prompt for solo/settled homes or for your top established interests so you see it at least once.

  3. No user-visible changes in this update

    This update only contains internal test fixes; there are no new features or user-facing bug fixes.

    by Jonasb6522be
  4. Internal maintenance and cleanup

    Removed deprecated internal hooks, refactored notification internals, and archived obsolete docs — no user-facing changes.

    by Jonas58bde50
  5. Neater Skills catalog; exposed API key removed

    Skill icons and buttons now render properly on phones and desktop, and a committed third-party API key was removed to protect your data.

    • Improved

      Cleaner Skills catalog on mobile and desktop

      Skill icons no longer clip and the Open button’s checkmark is centered across phone and tablet views.

    • Security

      Removed exposed third-party API key

      A committed Replicate API token was removed to prevent accidental external access to household data.

    by Jonasbc21dab
  6. No user-facing changes

    This update only adds internal test instructions for attention orchestration; there are no new or changed features for users.

    by Jonas83b264d
  7. Attention queue panel and smarter bundling

    New Tuning panel shows Homie's attention queue; Homie now tracks readiness and bundles family requests more reliably.

    • New

      Attention queue panel in Tuning

      View Homie's held requests, priority tiers, bundled moments, and each family member's timing windows.

    • Improved

      Smarter grouping of simultaneous requests

      Homie tracks queue readiness and bundles related family requests to avoid duplicates and interruptions.

    • Fixed

      Accurate live state and readiness indicators

      The Tuning panel now reflects what Homie is actually holding and when it's ready to send.

    by Jonas5b1a809
  8. Smarter timing for moments and briefs

    Homie now learns each family member's best hours and limits deliveries to one moment per learned window, seeded from sensible defaults.

    • New

      Automatically learned delivery windows

      Homie seeds morning/noon/evening windows and learns each member's preferred hours from their engagement.

    • Improved

      One moment per learned window

      Homie holds deliveries outside learned windows and sends at most one moment inside each window to reduce repeats.

    • Improved

      Timing adapts from your reactions

      Reactions and brief interactions feed nightly learning so Homie refines which hours are receptive for each person.

    • Improved

      Manual nudges bypass quiet times

      If you manually nudge Homie it will still deliver immediately, even outside learned windows and limits.

    by Jonasb06efb2
  9. Smarter, warmer openers and immediate delivery

    Homie can bundle pending items into a single friendly greeting and surface them immediately when you open the app or are already talking.

    • New

      One warm opener for queued items

      Homie now composes multiple held intents and active goals into a single prioritized greeting.

    • Improved

      Immediate delivery on app-open or mid-talk

      If you return to the app or are already engaged, Homie can surface queued suggestions right away and won’t repeat them for 10 minutes.

    • Fixed

      More reliable openers when composing fails

      If the smart composer can't run, Homie falls back to a deterministic greeting so you always get a clear prompt.

    by Jonasc03e5e8
  10. Bundled notifications and queued deal delivery

    Homie can now queue and bundle attention items so pending alerts, including grocery deals, are delivered as concise, member-scoped notifications on a schedule.

    • New

      Member-scoped bundled notifications

      Multiple pending alerts are combined into one concise notification per household member.

    • Improved

      Scheduled delivery of queued alerts

      Homie drains queued attention items on a background schedule (approximately every 20 minutes) to deliver pending alerts more reliably.

    • Improved

      Grocery deals delivered as daily digests

      Deals are enqueued and deduplicated per day, so you get a single daily deals notification instead of immediate repeated pings.

    by Jonasbc1a458
  11. No user-facing changes

    Background attention/intent infrastructure was added for future delivery features; nothing new is available to users yet.

    by Jonasa6535b6
  12. Attention ledger and tuning panel

    Adds a centralized log and tuning panel that records every proactive delivery and flags bursty notification activity.

    • New

      Attention deliveries timeline

      View a single timeline of every proactive delivery across voice, app, push and suggestion cards.

    • Improved

      Burst detection for scattered notifications

      Homie highlights clustered bursts so you can spot and reduce notification spikes.

    • Improved

      Clear voice announcement ownership

      Voice announcements are logged under one primary owner (delegates noted) for clearer attribution.

    • Improved

      Cleaner delivery history with no duplicates

      The delivery log avoids duplicate entries across channels so the history is cleaner.

    by Jonasc417900
  13. Projects in chat list, smarter intake, and mobile polish

    Projects now behave like chats and surface by activity; Homie suggests starting projects from conversations, mobile chat formatting is improved, and recipes get better steps and photos.

    • Improved

      Projects appear inline in your chat list

      Projects now show up as regular chats and float to the top when Homie acts on them so you see recent activity at a glance.

    • New

      Homie suggests turning chats into projects

      Homie detects project intent in conversation and can suggest starting a seeded project intake directly from the chat.

    • Fixed

      Missing project chats after startup fixed

      Project chats reliably backfill on startup now so legacy projects aren’t skipped and owner fallbacks resolve correctly.

    • Improved

      All / Chats / Projects segmented filter

      A full-width pill toggle under search lets you quickly view All items, only Chats, or only Projects.

    • Improved

      Better mobile chat formatting

      Mobile chat bubbles now render block Markdown (lists, tables, headings, code blocks, links) correctly and safely.

    • Improved

      Recipe steps and dish photos improved

      Homie fills missing steps, regenerates thin recipes via AI, and generates matching dish images; a fish ingredient icon was added.

    by Jonas5c671bd
  14. Editable offer card in the web app

    Homie's web app now shows an editable offer card UI so families can view and modify deals and offers from the browser.

    • New

      Edit offer cards in the web app (Phase A)

      You can edit deal/offer cards directly in Homie's web interface; full cross-device saving will come in a later update.

    • Improved

      Updated offer card layout on web

      Offer cards now display a cleaner, editable layout in the PWA so deals are easier to read and adjust from your browser.

    by Jonas80e9568
  15. Editable offers, one-tap unmute, and deduped suggestions

    Edit suggestion text inline, tap to un-mute salience badges, and avoid duplicate cards between household suggestions and project actions.

    • New

      Edit suggestion cards inline

      Change reminder text, shopping items, or event titles directly on a suggestion card; accepting sends your edited wording so Homie learns it.

    • Improved

      One-tap un-mute in salience panel

      Tap a mute/always badge to clear it so Homie will ask again (quick off→ask control).

    • Improved

      Prevent duplicate cards from projects

      Homie now suppresses suggestions that match an active project action so you don't see two cards for the same thing.

    by Jonasd26bf3b
  16. Tuning Signals and smarter suggestions

    A new Tuning dashboard for admins, suggestions that learn from edits and decline patterns, and UI polish for Goals.

    • Improved

      Roomier Goals sheet; "items" wording

      Goals view now uses "items" instead of "things", with more padding and a scrollable sheet for a cleaner mobile layout.

    • New

      Tuning Signals dashboard (admins)

      Household admins can open a new Tuning dashboard to see suggestion accept/decline rates, suppression reasons, and pause suggestions per member or globally.

    • Improved

      Suggestions learn from your edits

      When you edit or accept a suggestion, Homie stores the correction to improve future offers and will abstain if similar offers were repeatedly declined.

    • New

      New Tuning panels: mood, memory, salience, autonomy

      Admins can view mood history/drift, memory consolidation stats, per-member salience scores, and project autonomy ladders in the Tuning dashboard.

    by Jonas47a4efa
  17. Clearer autonomy controls and onboarding

    New plain-language header, instruction, and legend make the "What Klaus can do" permissions easy to understand and change.

    • Improved

      Easier autonomy settings

      Pick how much Klaus can act for a project: Off, Ask first, or Auto — each option now has a clear, readable explanation.

    • Improved

      Clearer project permission instructions

      A direct header and one-line instruction explain the sheet’s purpose and that you can change these settings anytime.

    by Jonasb142ccc
  18. Actions sheet fixes and proactive suggestions

    Cleaner, more reliable 'What Klaus can do' panels and three-dots menus on mobile, plus a new proactive suggestions engine that offers actionable household suggestions during chat.

    • Fixed

      Sheet locks page scroll during drag

      The "What Klaus can do" sheet now prevents the background page from scrolling so touch and wheel gestures stay inside the panel.

    • Fixed

      Action menus no longer hide behind composer

      Three‑dots popups and action cards appear over or temporarily hide the chat composer on phones so all options are reachable.

    • Improved

      Cleaner actions header and permission chips

      The actions panel uses a single header and compact Off / Ask first / Auto chips for a shorter, easier-to-scan layout.

    • New

      Proactive household suggestion engine

      Klaus can now offer inline, actionable suggestions mid-conversation (reminders, shopping, calendar, remembers, tracked topics) you can accept or decline.

    by Jonasdb6fea6
  19. Fewer incorrect "I don't know" answers

    Homie will no longer wrongly deny or guess about things in your household; she now checks or escalates before saying she doesn't know.

    • Fixed

      No false "I don't know" replies

      Homie now asks for help or checks connected devices instead of wrongly denying facts about your household like saved recipes or items.

    • Improved

      More reliable voice escalations

      When Homie can’t verify household info, she will escalate or prompt for confirmation rather than give a definitive no.

    by Jonas515f34d
  20. Goals: actions menu and smoother scrolling

    The Goals three-dots menu now shows a "What Klaus can do" actions sheet in web and installed apps, and the sheet scrolls smoothly.

    • New

      See "What Klaus can do"

      Open the three-dots menu in Goals to view available Klaus actions and settings.

    • Fixed

      Actions visible in installed apps

      Installed web apps and PWAs now show the new actions entry instead of the old cached view.

    • Fixed

      Smoother Goals actions scrolling

      The "What Klaus can do" sheet scrolls smoothly and no longer jumps or gets stuck.

    by Jonase134334
  21. Cleaner, scrollable Actions sheet

    The 'What Klaus can do' actions sheet now scrolls and lays out better on phones so rows and descriptions aren't clipped.

    • Fixed

      Scrollable What Klaus can do sheet

      The actions settings sheet now scrolls when long, preventing clipping on small screens.

    • Improved

      Less crowded action rows on phones

      Rows get more space and a narrower selector so descriptions no longer crush on narrow devices.

    by Jonas8f1ef83
  22. Smarter, smoother conversations and project controls

    Klaus now answers casual time/date questions, silently escalates to tools when needed, adds per-project automation controls, and fixes automated reminders.

    • Improved

      Casual chats answer time and date

      Ask "what time is it" or "what day is it" in casual chat—Klaus answers directly.

    • Improved

      Seamless escalation to Homie's tools

      When Klaus needs live data or to take action, she'll quietly hand off to the full tools with no confusing message or audio gap.

    • New

      Per-project What Klaus can do settings sheet

      Every project now shows a settings sheet to review and change what Klaus is allowed to do.

    • New

      Change project automation by chat

      Tell Klaus in chat to update a project's permissions, e.g., "stop emailing people on this one."

    • Fixed

      Automated reminders run reliably

      Auto or reply-driven reminders now resolve natural-language times and target the project owner so they execute.

    by Jonasb2bd7cc
  23. UI polish: goals, habits, and avatars

    Cleaner project and habit surfaces, smoother habit reward flows, and more natural avatar mouth movement while Homie speaks.

    • Improved

      Cleaner Goals & Projects cards

      Better contrast, tap targets and layout for project, learning and search cards on web and mobile.

    • Improved

      Smoother Habit tracker & rewards

      Refined habit drawer, coaching and reward flows with clearer feedback and fewer UI hiccups.

    • Fixed

      More natural speaking avatar

      Avatar mouth now opens and closes rhythmically during speech so expressions match spoken words on web and mobile.

    by Jonas311ab92
  24. More reliable household memory recall

    Homie's semantic memory is more resilient: a new embeddings option keeps memory recall working even if the primary API provider hits usage limits.

    • New

      Backup embeddings via OpenRouter

      Homie can use OpenRouter for semantic memory embeddings so recall still works if the primary provider hits limits.

    • Improved

      More reliable conversational memory recall

      Conversations regain relevant past details even when direct OpenAI/Google keys are out of quota.

    • Fixed

      Memory lookups survive quota outages

      Avoids dropped or missing memories during chats when the primary embeddings key is quota-exhausted.

    by Jonasd726c65
  25. Cleaner Goals, Curate, Journal, Savings updates

    Small but visible improvements across Goals, Curate, Journal, Savings and Home: edit/delete records, withdrawals and pace warnings, clearer journal and curate wording, and tidier cards.

    • New

      Edit and delete records

      Fix typos or remove items: edit/delete journal entries, savings contributions, and home system records.

    • Improved

      Savings: withdrawals, targets, pacing

      Log withdrawals, edit a savings target after setup, and get "Behind pace" warnings if you risk missing a deadline.

    • Improved

      Cleaner journal layout and privacy cue

      Entries are grouped by day (Today/Yesterday) and reflections show a subtle "Private" chip at the point of writing.

    • Improved

      Easier Curate setup and matching

      Curate now leads with inspiration-first prompts ("Give me a vibe to start") and better recognizes curate/collection keywords.

    • Fixed

      Tidy Goals cards and actions

      Find cards clip long titles and kept-card actions (Keep/Pass and other CTAs) have correct size, padding and visible labels.
