Your everyday AI agent for household busywork.

Why people keep it around

No more mental load

Tasks, routines and errands live in one place, and HomeMate keeps them tidy for you.

A week that actually fits

Effort totals per day, overloaded days flagged, and realistic rescheduling suggestions.

You stay in control

Anything that moves your real schedule pauses the agent and waits for your decision.

Deliberately low-cost

The agent only runs when you press Run, with a strict step limit and wall-clock timeout.

How it works

1. Describe the outcome

"Take care of my home tasks this week." No commands, no syntax.

2. The agent inspects reality

It reads your real tasks and routines with its own tools — not a canned script.

3. It plans and resolves

A weekly plan is generated, conflicts detected, safe fixes applied automatically.

4. It asks before it disrupts

Moving an appointment or deleting work pauses the run until you approve.

Human approval, built into the agent loop

Read-only work runs on its own. Anything that materially changes your schedule — moving an appointment, deleting a task, shuffling a heavy day — pauses the real Strands run. Your answer is fed back into the same conversation, and the agent continues from exactly where it stopped.
