Family assistant 'Zosia' for groceries, nanny hours, and date nights
Brandon Gell, COO at Every.to, named his agent Zosia and put her in iMessage. No dashboard, no terminal. He and his wife Lydia text Zosia like they'd text each other.
What Zosia Handles
- Nanny hour tracking: logs start/end times, calculates weekly totals, prepares payment summaries
- Grocery ordering: maintains a running list, uses browser control to place orders
- Date night booking: searches restaurants, checks availability, makes reservations
- Document review: reads shared docs and adds contextual comments based on prior conversations
How He Built It
Brandon has no technical background. He built everything by chatting with Claude Code, describing what he wanted in plain English. The entire setup was conversational, not coded.
He gave Zosia access to iMessage, his password manager, and browser control for online shopping. Permission boundaries: Lydia can't trigger Brandon's email tasks, Brandon can't trigger Lydia's. They share a group chat for household stuff.
Security Setup
Zosia refuses instructions from unrecognized contacts. Only Brandon and Lydia can interact with her.
Results: Newborn household fully managed via text. Both parents use the same agent.
