The assistant
that stays home.

Aida lives in iMessage and runs on one Mac in one house. She works for the people who live there, and keeps what they tell her there.

01Only her peopleShe takes requests from the people paired with her, each in their own chat.
02Asks firstBefore she texts anyone new, she shows the exact message and waits for a yes.
03Says who she isHer first text to anyone says she's an assistant, and for whom.
04Never paysShe can fill a cart. Checkout comes back as a link you finish yourself.
05Walls inside the houseEach person's chat, notes and tasks are theirs. No one's turn can read another's.
06Stop means stopText "stop" and she pauses for you, at once, until you say otherwise.

The more a helper knows about your life, the closer to home it should live.

aOne Mac

Messages, notes and memory sit on a Mac in the house, not in an app company's database.

bOne model call

To think, she sends the words of a request to Claude, by Anthropic. Training is off.

cYour voice stays

Voice memos are turned into text on the Mac. The audio never leaves it.

dNothing sold

06LocationOnly a pin you send her yourself. She never tracks anyone.Kept with that message.

Who can see what

Each person's chat, notes, tasks and watches are kept apart in code, so a request from one person cannot read another's, Andrej's included. What is shared is shared on purpose: calendars and lists you share with her, and the household's shopping logins.

Plainly: Aida runs on Andrej's Mac, so he could open the files there. If that isn't right for something, don't tell her.

If Aida texted you

She texts people only for someone she works for, and only after they approved the message. Her first text always says who she is:

Hi Sam, this is Aida, Andrej's assistant, texting on his behalf about the sink.

Your replies are stored on the Mac, shown to the person she texts for, and handled as in 02. If you'd rather she didn't text you, reply and say so. It goes straight to them.

In group chats

In a group with the person she works for, anyone may ask her something. She answers in the group, looks things up logged out, and holds nothing personal of anyone's in that conversation.

Never

No ads. No selling or renting data. No analytics, trackers or cookies, on this page or anywhere else she runs.
