SPROUT
An assistant that remembers.
Most assistants greet you like strangers, every morning. Sprout doesn’t. It keeps the things you’ve told it, the work you’ve shipped, the people in your home — and brings them up when they matter.
ONE EXAMPLE — ANONYMIZED
Margie’s been at this 184 days.

-
She told me her name was Margie.
“Margie is kind.” — still the first thing I remember.
-
The Hawaii photos — 248 of them, sorted by day.
She said “this is exactly it.” I kept that.

She told me she trusts me with money under $50.
First standing permission she ever gave.

We shipped the cupcake landing page.

This is what 184 days with Sprout looks like. — read more sketches.
Try a 30-second Sprout
Pick one. Watch Sprout think.
Or ask one of these
This is a scripted demo — no model is called. The real Sprout works the same way: tell it what you need, watch it work, take what's done.
Sprout
ready · its own little computer
What you can ask
Anything you’d ask a thoughtful friend who’s good with computers.
A weeknight
“Find a recipe with what I have, and write the shopping list.”
Sprout looks at your pantry photo, picks a recipe, and drafts a grocery list to your Notes. It asks before it saves anything.
⏱ ~ 2 minutes A Sunday afternoon
“Sort the photos from Hawaii into albums by day.”
Sprout opens your photos, groups by day, names the albums sensibly, and shows you the result before keeping it.
⏱ ~ 6 minutes · 248 photos A wedding
“Draft a thank-you note for Aunt Marian’s gift, in my voice.”
Sprout writes a first draft, reads it back, lets you change a word with your finger. Doesn’t send anything you didn’t okay.
⏱ ~ 1 minute Sometimes a chat — sometimes an app
Sprout makes the right tool for what you’re doing.

Help me plan my trip to Denver to see Daniel, the weekend of Oct 18.

Want me to add the small painting class at Denver Art Museum on Saturday
morning? Daniel mentioned you’d enjoy it.
＋ Ask Sprout to change it…
When something deserves a place of its own — a trip you’re planning, the family birthdays, a recipe collection — Sprout puts it on a page made just for you, just for that thing.
Keep it forever. Or close it when you’re done.
“Plan my trip to Denver.”
A trip board with flights, hotels, the weather, and what Daniel said you should
bring.
“Keep my favorite recipes together.”
A recipe book of the things you’ve made twice, with the photos and notes
you wrote.
“Remember everyone’s birthdays.”
A year on one page, with the small kindnesses you usually do for each person.
“Sort the stories Dad told me.”
A little journal of his stories, by year, with the photos that match.
Each app is yours. Sprout doesn’t share them with anyone. You can change a word with your finger, or ask Sprout to make it different.

Sprout shows its work. You stay in charge.

Hawaii photos
started 6 min ago · Sprout is working
⋯
Could you sort the photos from Hawaii into albums by day?
Sure. There are 248 photos from Sep 14 – 22. I’ll make eight albums and
show them before saving.

Keep it Not quite
＋ Ask a follow-up…
Plain English.
No jargon. No tool names. Just “reading photos” or “writing a
list.” If you want to see what tool Sprout used, you can tap.
A peek button, always.
Tap the Peek bubble and you’ll see Sprout’s little screen — the
one it’s working on. Watch live or fast-forward.
Ask before keep.
When Sprout is ready, you see the result and tap Keep it or
Not quite. Nothing is final until you say so.
It remembers gently.
Sprout learns your tone, your usual people, your common asks. You can see what it
remembers in plain sentences, and forget anything in one tap.
Memory Sprout remembers what you keep.
Sprout remembers what you keep.
And only what you keep.
Sprout only holds onto the small things you tell it to. Each one has a little marker — kept or forget. Tap to change your mind.
✓
Kept means useful.
Names, preferences, who's who. Sprout uses these to be a thoughtful friend, not
a stranger.
○
Forget means forgotten.
Mark it once. It’s gone the next time you talk. Nothing trickles into
someone else’s training.
⊕
Nothing’s stored without asking.
Sprout will say “want me to remember this?” before it does. Always.
A year of birthdays
The small kindnesses you usually do — kept somewhere kind.

Mobile mode
And when an app only works on a phone, Sprout uses a phone.
Sprout’s little computer can change shape. When something — a bank, a doctor portal, a delivery service — only works on a phone, Sprout’s screen becomes one.
A phone-shaped screen of its own.
Sprout has its own phone screen — separate from yours — at exactly the size your
apps expect.
Real apps, not pretend ones.
Sprout can install and use the actual app — taps, scrolls, types — just on its
phone, not yours.
You stay the one signed in.
Sprout asks you to log in once, in a private way, and only when you want it to.
Your phone
Pay the Comcast bill — but check the amount first.
Let me open the app. I’ll show you the amount before paying.

How it works
Three steps, no fiddling.
1.
Tell Sprout what you need.
Type or talk. In your own words. No special phrasing, no “prompting.” If
it’s unclear, Sprout will just ask.
2.
Watch Sprout work.
Sprout has its own little computer it works on. You can peek over its shoulder, or do
something else and check back.
3.
Take what’s done.
Sprout shows you the result first. Nothing reaches your phone, your email, or your
accounts unless you say so.
Trust & safety
You can give Sprout a try without giving it the keys.
Sprout works on its own little computer in a private space, separate from yours. It never touches your phone, your accounts, or your files unless you say so.
When you want to leave
Sprout hands everything back in plain English — and then it forgets you.
A folder of your kept things, an export of what you said, a goodbye. No
re-engagement emails. No “are you sure?” tricks.
✓
It’s not on your phone.
Sprout’s computer is somewhere else. If something goes wrong, your phone is
fine.
✓
It asks before it acts.
Sending an email, paying for something, deleting a file — Sprout shows you first
and waits.
✓
You can peek anytime. Open the screen and watch Sprout work. Stop it with one tap.
✓
Your conversations are yours.
Not used to train anyone’s model. Delete anything you want, anytime.
✓
A friend can help.
Set a “helper” — a son, daughter, anyone you trust — who can see what
Sprout did with you, if you want.
Things Sprout won’t try
A patient helper knows what to refuse.
×
Buying things on its own.
No surprise purchases. Every spend gets shown to you with the amount, the seller,
and a yes-or-no.
×
Signing into your bank.
Sprout can read a screenshot you give it, but it won’t store your password
or sign in for you.
×
Replying as you, to a human, without asking.
Drafts, always. Sends, only after you say so.
×
Deleting anything irreversible.
Photos, emails, files — Sprout puts them in a holding spot for a week before
they’re gone.
×
Pretending to be a doctor or a lawyer.
Sprout will read a letter with you, but it’ll tell you to call a person when
it matters.
×
Sharing your memories anywhere.
Your conversations and kept things stay on Sprout’s little computer. Not
training data. Not advertising.
For builders
Sprout runs on Coppice.
Every Sprout helper is a PiAgent in its own FreeBSD jail, with workload identity, audit, and reproducible templates. If you want to host your own version, or build the next Sprout, the operator console is right here.

Join Sprout
A helper you can actually hand things off to.
We’re inviting people slowly so Sprout has time to be patient with everyone. Leave a name and an email — I’ll write you when there’s a spot.
No spam. No newsletter. Just one note when you’re in.
