Build updates

Create routines that start after follow-ups, pick from a new trigger library, and enjoy a cleaner Routines panel on web and tablet.

• New

  Follow-up triggers for Routines

  Start routines automatically after a previous interaction or a follow-up event.

• New

  Trigger library to pick triggers

  Choose from a curated library of triggers when building routines for clearer options.

• Improved

  Cleaner Routines panel on web/tablet

  Updated web/iPad interface makes browsing and picking routines faster and clearer.

Setting up and previewing household routines on phones is now simpler: fewer steps, clearer heads-up messages, and a neater routines panel.

• Improved

  Simpler routines setup on mobile

  Create and edit routines from your phone with fewer taps and a shorter setup flow.

• Improved

  Clearer heads-up for routines

  Heads-up messages now explain what a routine will do and when, so you know what to expect.

• Improved

  Cleaner routines panel on small screens

  The routines panel renders better on phones and tablets with tidier controls and layout.

Homie now explains and verifies what she learns, shows why proactive suggestions happen, and keeps household memory and setup confirmations more consistent.

• Improved

  See Homie's learning health

  View reliability, recent checks, and source information for any learned household preference.

• Improved

  Explain proactive suggestions

  Each proactive suggestion now shows the evidence and the preference scope driving it.

• Fixed

  Honest setup confirmations

  Homie only confirms saved preferences and setup outcomes when they're truly persisted.

• Improved

  More reliable household memory

  Memory consolidation runs more consistently so recalls and reminders are less likely to be missed.

• Improved

  Override what Homie marks important

  You can correct or override items Homie flags as important, and those corrections are recorded as evidence.

• Improved

  Clear outcomes from conversations

  When you ask Homie to act, she now states exactly what will happen and why.

Smoother navigation and a cleaner Routines panel make managing family routines faster and more reliable.

• Improved

  Quicker heads-up access to Routines

  Open and switch to Routines directly from the heads-up navigation without extra steps.

• Improved

  Cleaner, easier Routines panel

  Routines list, controls and layout are clearer and more tappable on web and tablet.

• Fixed

  Pending routine actions now display reliably

  Routine triggers and pending items show correctly so scheduled actions aren’t lost or hidden.

• Improved

  Routines skill is easier to find

  A clear icon and visual polish make the Routines skill quicker to spot in the app.

Routines are more consistent and safer: autonomous agent runs are restricted, memory follow-ups become pausable routines, manual runs respect device permissions, and Heads‑up is clearer.

• New

  Autonomous routines with safety guardrails

  Agentic routines can run on their own but Homie will pause or block steps that reach outside allowed boundaries or auto-create new routines.

• New

  Memory follow-ups are pausable routines

  Follow-ups based on household memory are now real routines you can pause, resume, complete or cancel — no fake "run now" placeholders.

• Improved

  Manual runs obey device permissions

  When you start a routine manually, Homie enforces per-device permissions, records which devices changed/failed/skipped, and skips disallowed actions.

• Improved

  Cleaner Heads‑up and Recent routine views

  Heads‑up focuses on active and coming-up items; Recent shows delivered receipts (subject to privacy rules); Automations now points to System tasks.

Smarter conditional routines, faster and more reliable voice, safer video confirmations, and pets no longer act like people in Homie features.

• Performance

  Faster, more reliable voice responses

  Shorter talk latency and a fix for iOS' quiet-start so voice interactions begin and respond reliably.

• New

  Conditional When/If/Then routines

  Create routines that watch specific sources and run actions conditionally, with success/failure receipts and clearer Tracking vs Project labels.

• Improved

  Safer video play confirmations and tappable links

  Verbal "yes" now accepts natural confirmations to play presented videos, and links render as tappable chips that open in-app.

• Fixed

  Pets excluded from people-only features

  Pets no longer appear in people lists or receive briefs, email inboxes, learning streaks, presence counts, or invites.

Homie no longer offers pets as Spotify accounts to connect; connection prompts and member counts now ignore animal profiles.

• Fixed

  Spotify linking excludes pet profiles

  Pets (dogs, cats) will no longer appear as connectable Spotify profiles during account linking.

• Fixed

  Connect accounts counts ignore pets

  Member counts and Connect accounts prompts now exclude pets when showing how many profiles to link.

• Improved

  Pets-only households fall back to owner

  If a household contains only pets, Homie will suggest an owner account for Spotify linking so you can still connect.

Routines are safer to run and edit, recurring actions become scheduled items, and pets now appear distinctly without affecting home presence.

• Improved

  Idempotent "Run now" for routines

  "Run now" activates routines via the real trigger path and won’t double-run when retried.

• New

  Routine panel controls

  Start, reserve, and view execution receipts for routines directly from the routines panel.

• Improved

  Safer routine edits (no accidental overwrites)

  Routine edits now require the latest version token so your changes won’t silently overwrite someone else’s.

• New

  Recurring actions become scheduled commitments

  Recurring requests like "play music every morning" are routed into scheduled commitments and appear in Coming up.

• Improved

  Pets are lightweight and always visible

  Pets show a smaller avatar that’s always present in the header and are never greyed-out.

• Improved

  Pets don’t mark the house as occupied

  A pet at home won’t count as "someone home," so vacation and presence automations behave correctly.

When Homie offers a found YouTube video, a plain "yes" will start playback; confirmations are single-use and expire after five minutes.

• Improved

  Say "yes" to play suggested videos

  If Homie asks "Want me to play it?", a plain "yes" will start the video—no tap needed.

• Improved

  One-time verbal confirmation

  Homie records a play offer and honors a single spoken confirmation (yes/sure) for one play, expiring after five minutes.

• Fixed

  Only clear confirmations trigger playback

  Homie ignores unrelated answers or negations, so saying "yes" to a different question won't start the video.

View your routines in a new read-only catalog, enjoy a simplified media overlay, and avoid hearing raw tool-control text — Homie now routes tool-intent correctly.

• Fixed

  No raw control text spoken aloud

  Homie no longer reads raw DSML tool-call blocks aloud; detected tool-intent is routed to the proper action lane instead of streaming as speech.

• New

  View-only unified Routines catalog

  See all household Routines in a single read-only catalog in the app and API; project topics are deduplicated and there are no edit controls yet.

• Improved

  Cleaner media overlay controls

  Removed the duplicate in-bar Play button and restyled minimize/close as compact corner controls pinned top-right for a less cluttered player.

Copy or have replies read aloud, regenerate answers, view verified sources, present web/PDF/YouTube on your Homie screen, and enjoy smarter chat scrolling.

• Improved

  Copy, read-aloud, regenerate and rate replies

  Copy full reply text, play voice readouts, regenerate answers, and give good/bad ratings — ratings only send IDs; no chat text leaves the device.

• Improved

  Compact composer and reader-controlled scrolling

  Composer collapses to a single row when idle; manually scrolling pauses auto-follow and shows a Jump-to-latest control.

• Improved

  Cleaner, more reliable live text streaming

  Live text replies now use clearer stream events so errors and tool progress don’t get mixed into assistant text.

• New

  View verified sources and open a Sources sheet

  Answers include tappable, deduped source links and a mobile Sources sheet of links that won’t disturb your reading.

• New

  Present webpages, PDFs and YouTube on Homie screen

  Ask Homie to show or play HTTPS pages, PDFs, or YouTube on your home screen; fullscreen view requires you to explicitly request it.

Chat tables now wrap and scroll with a Copy-as-TSV option, and plain confirmations like “Yes” reliably confirm and create projects/drafts.

• Improved

  Chat tables wrap and scroll in place

  Wide tables no longer widen the message list; body cells wrap while headers and numeric cells stay compact.

• New

  Copy tables as TSV

  Choose "Copy table" to copy table contents as TSV for easy pasting into spreadsheets or notes.

• Fixed

  Plain "Yes" now confirms projects

  A simple affirmative (or go/start words) confirms and creates drafts so projects are created instead of restarting.

Chat streaming is safer and less choppy, messages render better on mobile, you can stop and retry typed replies, and Homie can set up projects by voice.

• Security

  Control tokens removed from personal chats

  Hidden control markers (like [[ESCALATE]]) are stripped server-side so they never appear in your chat or saved transcripts.

• Improved

  Stop and one-tap retry for typed replies

  Tap Stop to halt a streaming reply; Retry reruns the same reply without duplicating your message and restores the composer.

• Improved

  Smoother, chunked message streaming

  Homie groups streamed text into readable chunks so replies appear less choppy and visible timing is more consistent.

• Improved

  Autolinks, task lists, and copyable code blocks

  Bare URLs become links, task-list checkboxes show state, and code blocks show a language header with a copy button on mobile.

• New

  Create projects by voice step-by-step

  Speak to Homie to set up a project: it asks intake questions, reads back your plan, then creates and opens the project on your device.

Auto-discovery, connection checks, and UI improvements make skill setup more reliable, verifiable, and easier to use.

• Improved

  Automatic source setup for news, deals, events

  Homie auto-discovers local sources from your household location for Local News, Grocery Deals and Events; if none are found you'll be guided instead of saving an empty list.

• Improved

  Guided setup continues once connection is verified

  If credentials exist and Homie verifies the connection, a skill moves from the guide to enabled automatically; guides now show a clear next-action hint (Spotify uses OAuth).

• Improved

  Testable device connections with last-checked status

  You can run a Test for Apple/Shortcuts/Reminders/HomePod integrations and see honest "last checked" results—Homie no longer assumes macOS connections.

• Improved

  Local source discovery validates locality

  Discovered sources are checked for geographic locality and stamped with verification method and time; non-local sources are rejected.

• Fixed

  Clearer hints and easier skill configuration

  Tooltips and taglines updated (Shopping List shows 10‑minute sync, Local News frequency fixed, Calendar brief follows member time); toggles are labeled and Save stays visible on long pages.

Suggestions and navigation are now device-aware, feedback and learning are more precise, tuning shows honest stats, and skill saves happen inline.

• Improved

  Device-targeted suggestion cards

  Cards show only on the originating device and record delivery when you actually view them via a "seen" ack; unseen expiries stay silent.

• Improved

  Device-scoped navigation with outcome acks

  Screen navigation only affects the intended device and reports whether you acted, preventing unwanted or silent screen changes.

• Improved

  Richer suggestion feedback options

  New feedback: not-now, already-handled, not-useful, and never — each updates Homie differently (temporary cooldowns, detector corrections, or hard mutes).

• Improved

  More honest suggestion stats in tuning

  Tuning shows real seen/accepted/ignored rates and records detector hits so false-positive rates are measurable.

• Improved

  In-page skill saves and defaults

  Skill settings save inline using the real setup flow and manifest defaults appear automatically when your saved config is empty.

• Fixed

  Explicit asks bypass household gate

  Typed or direct requests (e.g., "remind me to call mom") are no longer blocked by the unresolved-speaker safety gate.

Homie now reports automation status correctly, avoids duplicate suggestions, keeps the skill catalog fresh, and shows live capability status during conversations.

• Fixed

  Accurate automation status and next-run info

  Automations that are stopped now show disabled and not a fictional future run.

• Improved

  Live capability status during conversations

  When you talk to Homie she shows which skills, device controls, and tools are ready or need setup.

• Improved

  Fresh, de-duplicated skill catalog

  The skills index refreshes automatically and removes vanished skills so searches and suggestions use current abilities.

• Improved

  Smarter post-turn suggestions

  Homie skips suggestions for actions already executed this turn and avoids double-tracking offers.

• Improved

  Suppress duplicate reminders, items, and events

  Homie checks your reminders, shopping list, calendar, and memories before proposing new items to avoid repeats.

• Improved

  Control learning deck size and difficulty

  Adjust the number and challenge level of flashcards in Learning to match your practice goals.

Correct past habit logs and get weekly summaries; edit bookings and keep itinerary edits; see honest upkeep schedules and history; private/exportable journal entries; gentler, deduped curation.

• Improved

  Fixable habit logs and weekly summaries

  Tap past days to correct habit logs, streaks update from the corrected history, and each habit shows a quiet weekly-summary line under the board.

• Improved

  Editable bookings and persistent itinerary

  Add, edit or remove bookings by confirmation ref; manual items now persist, internal empty dates show as gap days, and same-day conflicts are flagged before confirmations.

• Improved

  Clear 'Needs a schedule' and visible service history

  Records without a schedule show "Needs a schedule" (no nudge), coming-up items display in the right order, and service history, providers and receipts are visible on assets.

• New

  Forgettable private journal with export

  Deleting a reflection removes it from household memory, ownerless entries remain private, and you can export dated journal entries as markdown.

• Improved

  Gentle, opt-in curation with dedupe

  Curate only gathers from named sources, near-duplicates fold into one card (keeping additional URLs), and collections no longer publish noisy scoring metadata.

• Fixed

  Nudge 'Did it' reliably records habits

  Tapping a nudge's "Did it" now persists the exact multi-habit board you see so migrated or legacy habits keep their IDs and state.

Homie now uses real ledger data for savings, builds level-aware first practices, surfaces honest search health and estimated scores, improves job-application gating, and makes stalled project steps retryable.

• Improved

  Evidence-based savings pace and true totals

  Four-state pace uses real ledger entries; starting balance appears as a ledger entry, one-tap log nudge, and mint only shows when a goal is reached.

• New

  Build your first practice matched to level

  Intake captures your starting level to pick card difficulty; a 'Build my first practice' CTA is available and reminders default to ask-first.

• Improved

  Clear source checks and estimated scores

  Search records health states (ok, failures, or nothing new); scoring failures fall back to heuristic items labeled est. and failed checks show Needs you.

• Improved

  Profile-gated job funnel and editable cover letters

  Jobs tell you which profile pieces are missing, pause for your send approval, save outbound message IDs, dedupe cross-posts, and let you edit tailored letters before applying.

• Fixed

  Stalled project runs become retryable and blocked

  Dead or stalled agent runs now mark milestones blocked with a reason, clear run IDs so retry genuinely restarts, and calendar milestones won't auto-spawn.

Projects now preserve intake details, require explicit consent, protect private goals, avoid duplicate creations, and only send job applications after your approval.

• Improved

  Project intake details are preserved

  Savings targets, dates and learning starting levels now stay with a project so Homie continues them after setup.

• Security

  Private goals remain owner-only

  Only the goal owner can view or edit private goals; household goals still appear to household members.

• Improved

  Homie asks before acting autonomously

  You must choose an autonomy preset before Homie starts a project; missing answers default to Ask-first and start stays disabled.

• Fixed

  Project creation is idempotent and bound to chat

  Retries won't create duplicate projects and the original intake chat and its dialogue are preserved with the project.

• Improved

  Each job send requires your approval

  Homie drafts application emails but will only send each one after you approve it; already-sent items won't be resent.

Homie now uses a new local integration for steadier discovery, pairing, and offline control of lights and other smart devices.

• New

  Local smart-home control without cloud

  Control lights and devices directly on your home network so basic actions keep working when cloud services are unavailable.

• Improved

  Smoother device discovery and onboarding

  Automatic detection and setup is more reliable for lights and common accessories during initial setup.

• Improved

  Better Home Assistant integration

  Connections and sync with Home Assistant installations are more stable and less likely to drop.

• Security

  Safer, more reliable pairing flows

  Secure pairing for bulbs, Matter devices, and hubs is hardened so devices connect correctly and safely.

• Performance

  Faster local device responses

  Commands to locally connected devices respond quicker and more consistently, improving everyday control.

Homie is less likely to go silent: mic acquisition hangs are fixed, devices show a tap-to-restore control, and automatic recoveries plus better diagnostics reduce lost listening and false alerts.

• Fixed

  No more multi-hour deafness

  Homie recovers from microphone hangs instead of freezing; listening resumes without needing a manual restart.

• Improved

  Tap-to-restore listening pill

  If audio is blocked or awaiting a gesture, Homie shows a visible "Tap to restore listening" control so you can re-enable the mic.

• Improved

  Automatic graded recovery before owner alerts

  Homie tries a fresh mic restart at 5 minutes and only pages the owner after 10 minutes, reducing unnecessary alerts.

• Improved

  Health heartbeats with actionable diagnostics

  Device status now reports wake-lock errors and "needsGesture" so remote troubleshooting and automatic escalation are immediate.

Adaptive endpointing is now on by default for owner devices so Homie finishes replies faster, with per-device opt-out available.

• Improved

  Faster voice reply endings

  Homie detects the end of your speech and ends replies sooner, reducing the wait after you stop talking (rare early cutoffs possible).

• New

  Device-level adaptive endpoint control

  Turn adaptive endpointing off per device in the web app's advanced controls or by setting localStorage.homie_adaptive_endpoint='0'.

Homie avoids repeated lookups, shortens long voice turns, cancels unused pre-warms, offers optional adaptive end-of-speech, and can use language-aware TTS for non-English replies.

• Improved

  No repeated lookups in one turn

  Homie reuses identical read results during a single reply instead of re-running slow searches, so repeated questions won't cause extra delays.

• Performance

  Shorter voice replies by default

  Most voice conversations now stop after fewer background tool rounds, preventing very long 40–60s replies unless you explicitly hand over control.

• Performance

  Cancelled unused tool pre-warms

  Homie cancels unused pre-warmed tool work at the end of a turn so background prep doesn't slow or block live replies.

• New

  Optional adaptive end-of-speech

  When enabled, Homie can stop listening sooner for confident, complete replies—reducing accidental extra recording; this is off by default.

• New

  Language-aware voice output

  When enabled, German and Swedish replies can use a language-aware TTS path for more natural pronunciation; English behavior is unchanged.
