Familiars
Small standing agents that do your recurring work on schedule, hand you a finished deliverable every time, and take orders over WhatsApp.
Why familiars
How it works
Describe the work in plain words, in the app or as a WhatsApp voice note. Pick a cadence and how much it can do without asking.
On every run your familiar does the work with the right specialist agent and your connected tools, then posts a done card with the result.
Reply in its chat to approve, redirect, or change its schedule. It updates itself. You can do all of this from WhatsApp.
