The blocks

The whole thing, built from blocks you can stack.

Think of it like building blocks. Each one does a single, simple job. On their own they are easy to understand. Snapped together, they become the helper that works for you.

You will never touch most of these. I keep them stacked and running. This is just so the words stop being a mystery, so when I say "your agent" or "your nerves," you know exactly what I mean.

Brain

Picture this: a brilliant assistant that can read, write, and reason, but lives inside a glass jar with no hands. The brain is the thinking.

Why you need itIt is the part that understands you and answers in plain language. Everything else exists to give this brain a safe way to actually help you, instead of just talking.
What it costsOften free. A stronger one is about $20 a month, a heavy-use one is $100 or more. Most people are happy on free or $20, and I will tell you the honest truth for you.

Nerves

Picture this: safe wires that run from the brain out to the real world, so it can reach your email, your website, your phone, and your money views, which stay look-only.

Why you need itWithout nerves the brain can only chat. With them it can actually read an email or check a calendar for you. Each wire is fenced to one job, and anything touching money is read-only by design, it can look but never spend, move, or trade.
What it costsFree. These are the tools I build and switch on for you. There is no per-wire bill.

Body

Picture this: the real machine the brain lives in, a Mac or a small server. It is the workshop where you build whatever you want.

Why you need itThe brain has to live somewhere. The body is that somewhere: a real computer you own, where your tools run and your work is yours. It is the difference between renting a chat box and owning a workshop.
What it costsA Mac mini is about $599, once. A small always-on server is about $6 a month. Many people already own a body and pay nothing new.

Cousins

Picture this: a night manager who never sleeps, quietly keeping watch over everything, and texts you only when something actually matters.

Why you need itYou should not have to babysit any of this. Cousins watches your setup around the clock, fixes the small stuff itself, and pings you only for the few things a human should see. No noise, no dashboards to stare at.
What it costsFree to run. To let it text you, a phone number is about $1.15 a month plus pennies per message.

Agents

Picture this: your own staff who do the actual work. You can put an agent on almost any job in your world and have it run, start to finish.

Why you need itThe brain thinks, but an agent gets the job done: sorts the inbox, drafts the letters, builds the page, chases the booking. You can have one agent or a whole team, each handed a task in plain words.
What it costsNo separate bill. Agents run on the brain you already chose, so they cost whatever that brain costs, which for most people is free or about $20 a month.

Domain

Picture this: your family's own address on the internet, like a house number, so people and your tools can find you in one steady place.

Why you need itIt is your name in the new world. Your email, your site, and your helpers all live under it, so the whole setup feels like yours and your family's, not a stranger's app.
What it costsA plain .com is about $11 a year. A family .ai address runs about $83 a year, bought two years up front (about $165).

Portal

Picture this: this page, your map. The one calm place that explains your whole setup, so you can always come back and remember what you have.

Why you need itA new world is less scary when you have a map. The portal is where the words get explained, where your own setup is written down, and where you start when you forget where to start.
What it costsFree. I made it for you. It is part of being brought in.
“Small blocks, simple jobs. Stacked together, they carry you.

That is the whole machine

You do not assemble any of this. I do. You just get the help.

When we set you up, I stack the blocks that fit your life and leave the rest in the box. Some people need a body and an agent. Some need only a brain and a couple of nerves. We choose together, in plain words, and I never add a block you do not need.

When the blocks make sense, head to your costs, or just text me.
