HuniDu OS levels in HuniDu
Pick a baseline that matches your comfort level. You can change it any time in settings.
No AI (Manual-first)
OffNo proactive alerts. On-demand tools (meal suggest, photo diagnosis) still run only if you tap them.
- No proactive AI notifications
- No background pattern suggestions
- Family inbox uses keyword and learned sorting only — no model on incoming mail
- On-demand tools (meal suggest, photo diagnosis) still work when you tap them
- Best for households that want full manual control
Reactive AI
MinimalHousehold-data alerts for conflicts and budget limits. Model calls stay on-demand.
- Critical alerts and conflict or budget support
- Household admins can enable only specific HuniDu OS features
- Great for support without heavy automation
Proactive AI
Balanced / AggressiveMore notifications from repeating routines in your logs — not a model that rewrites the week.
- Pattern hints from meals, chores, and shopping history
- Does not auto-create tasks or auto-schedule carpools
- On-demand HuniDu OS tools are unchanged
Control and visibility
Household admins manage default AI mode and feature toggles.
Members can set a personal notification level and opt out of proactive AI notifications for themselves in Settings → Your alerts.
HuniDu OS usage metrics are available, including notifications, API calls, and estimated costs.
Data safety
HuniDu OS context retrieval is scoped per household — never shared across families.
Authentication and membership are enforced before protected HuniDu OS actions.
Key HuniDu OS and insight changes are recorded with server-side audit logging.
By pillar
Where HuniDu OS adds value
Each area uses only what your plan and household permissions allow.
Smart Family Calendar
- Overlap warnings from event times (household data, not a model)
- Optional HuniDu OS write-up of ways to resolve a conflict you open
- HuniDu OS Chat can draft events from phrases; that parser may use HuniDu OS
Family Inbox
- From Reactive (Minimal) up: HuniDu OS categorizes incoming mail (school, medical, bills, and similar)
- In Off mode: keyword and learned sorting only — no model on incoming mail
- Keyword fallback if categorization is unavailable
- Does not auto-create tasks or assign an owner from the message
Meal Planning & Recipes
- HuniDu OS for OS Suggest, weekly plan, recipe import, and nutrition text
- HuniDu OS for autopilot and ghost-meal drafts
- HuniDu OS can generate a plate photo when a meal has recipes
Tasks, grocery, budget
- Optional HuniDu OS cards: task assignment, grocery optimize, budget insights
- HuniDu OS auto-categorizes grocery items as you add them
- Budget threshold alerts come from your limits, not a model (90% in Minimal; 75% and 90% in Balanced+)
Garden, travel, pets
- HuniDu OS vision for pest/ripeness photos, soil cards, and pet documents
- HuniDu OS text for companion planting, packing lists, and activity ideas
- Toxicity and watering reminders are plant/schedule data, not a model
HuniDu OS (Pulse & Chat)
- Pulse, patterns, and forecasts are computed from household records
- Chat matches phrases and confirms drafts — it is not a chatbot-style chat
- Meal suggest lives on Meals, even if HuniDu OS is installed
Common questions
Straight answers for admins setting household defaults.
Can we use HuniDu without proactive AI?
Yes. Set mode to Off to stop proactive alerts and pattern hints. On-demand tools you tap (meal suggest, photo diagnosis, and similar) still work when your plan allows. Incoming family mail uses keyword sorting only in Off — raise the mode to Minimal or higher for HuniDu OS mail categorization.
Can we choose only specific HuniDu OS features?
Yes. Feature toggles let admins turn individual capabilities on or off for the household.
Who can change household AI defaults?
Household admins control shared defaults and overall automation behavior.
Can each person tune their own experience?
In part. Members can adjust their own notification level and opt out of proactive AI alerts in Settings → Your alerts. Shared AI defaults stay with admins.
