What it does

Useful chats become routines.

Chat

Use local or hosted models, connect MCP tools, and keep approval where a person should stay involved.

Schedule

Save a prompt, model, and tools as a loop. Run it manually or put it on a schedule.

Wake up to it

Hear when a loop finishes, fails, or waits for approval.

Small on purpose

No JavaScript on most pages.

The live conversation adds one small vanilla JS file. The rest is server-rendered HTML and ordinary forms.
