Twenty ways to take your butler further. All are planned and none are out yet. A few will be free. Most will be part of a paid bundle, priced when they're ready.

Butler can do this today means the software is ready and only the lessons are missing, so these come first. Free sample means it will be free.

Home life

  • Meal planning and the grocery list

    Your butler proposes a week of dinners from what your family likes, then turns the plan into a shopping list in Reminders. Reply "swap Thursday for pasta" and the list follows.

  • Home maintenance calendar

    Filters, the boiler service, gutters, smoke alarms. Repeating steps that come back when they are due, with a nudge in the brief and "checked today" by reply.

    Planned

  • Car care

    Insurance renewals, inspections and services as dated steps, so the brief warns you weeks ahead instead of the day after.

    Planned

  • Pets

    Vet visits, vaccines, flea treatment and food deliveries for every animal in the house, each with its own rhythm.

    Planned

  • Birthdays and gifts

    A heads-up two weeks before each birthday that matters, gift ideas you noted during the year, and a reminder to post the card in time.

    Planned

  • Chores and allowance for kids

    A weekly chore rota in the brief, ticked off by reply, with the allowance worked out in Python, not by the AI.

    Planned

  • The school inbox digest

    School emails become a short list of dates, forms and things to bring. Teaches you how to let an AI read untrusted mail safely.

    Planned

  • Trip planner

    A trip becomes a project: bookings, documents that must be valid, a packing list and the day-by-day plan in the brief while you travel.

    Planned

Money

  • Bills and subscriptions watchdog

    Spots recurring charges, price rises and forgotten free trials in your Lunch Money data, and asks you about each one in the Sunday letter.

    Planned

  • Tax season prep

    A checklist project for your tax return, with the year's categories totalled in Python. Not tax advice: a tidy pile for you or your accountant.

    Planned

  • A side business, kept separate

    Keep a side business in its own ledger with its own monthly budget, so it never muddles the household numbers.

    Planned

  • Learning a language

    A phrase of the day in the morning brief, chosen to fit what is on your calendar that day.
