Less time managing the product

A useful device can succeed by giving you fewer reasons to interact with it.

For an everyday utility, we care about whether the job gets done and how much effort the owner has to spend. Time spent setting it up, checking its output, or recovering from an error is part of that effort.

We want a person to start a task, understand the outcome, and get on with their day. A clear control and understandable feedback should make the product comfortable to use, even when the capability inside is new.

An agent earns its place when it helps deliver that experience.

We're developing our first utility around this standard. Follow v/h as we work through the choices needed to make it useful in everyday life.
