Online
ErnBot is the primary point of contact — the one that wakes up before you do, reads everything that came in overnight, and has a briefing ready by the time you need it. Connected to a wide range of tools and services, it synthesizes information so you don't have to context-switch between a dozen apps to figure out what your day looks like.

What it does
Daily Intelligence Briefs
Every morning and evening, a synthesized brief is generated and delivered automatically — weather, calendar, health metrics, email highlights, and anything that needs attention. No app-switching required.
⏱ ~15 min/day
Automated Email Triage
Incoming email is continuously classified — bills, receipts, school communications, orders, newsletters. Important items are flagged immediately. Everything else is quietly archived on schedule.
⏱ ~30 min/day
Order & Package Tracking
New orders are automatically detected from email, registered for tracking, and monitored across carriers. Status updates are delivered when something actually changes — not on a polling schedule.
⏱ Eliminates manual tracking
Podcast & Media Digest
Relevant podcasts are downloaded, transcribed, summarized, and assembled into a weekly digest. Delivered to email with highlighted takeaways tailored to specific interests — no listening required.
⏱ ~3 hrs/week
Reminders & Calendar Awareness
Reminders are tracked with escalation logic — if something hasn't been acknowledged, it follows up. Calendar events are surfaced proactively in briefs and on-demand.
⏱ Nothing falls through
On-Demand Research
For deeper questions, ErnBot spawns a research process that searches, reads, synthesizes, and reports back — delivered as a structured email report with cited sources.
⏱ Hours per research task
Home Automation
Connected to Home Assistant across the whole house. Doorbell rings, camera motion events, and security alerts are processed with AI vision and delivered in seconds. Handles laundry, garage, locks, and more — all without manual checking.
⏱ Always watching
Local vs cloud AI
The majority of routine, scheduled work runs entirely on local hardware — no data leaves the network. Cloud AI is reserved for complex reasoning and direct conversations.
