Personal Assistant · Main Agent
The agent that keeps the day from falling apart.
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.

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.
