Section 3
An assistant that works only for you
Its purpose is to do what is best for you. Not to sell you things. Not to keep you glued to a screen.
When it is set up well, your assistant knows the people in your circle: your children, grandchildren, close friends, neighbors, and others you trust. That way, when you say “Let my daughter know I’m home,” it knows who you mean.
What “set up for you” means
- It knows your people. Names, how you know them, and how you like to reach them.
- It knows your routines. When you take your medicine, when church is, which day the grocery order comes.
- It knows your preferences. Large print, short answers, a favorite sports team, foods you avoid.
- It knows your limits. Things it should never do without asking, such as spending money or sharing private information.
You decide who is in your circle. You can add or remove people at any time by simply telling the assistant, or by asking the family member who helped set it up.
It can remember small things you tell it, such as where you put the spare key. You can ask, “What do you remember about me?” You can also say, “Please forget that.” Passwords, card numbers, and codes do not belong in memory. Your family stores those in a locked place called Vault.
