Life Assistant

Built an approval-first dashboard that turns household messages, schedules, bills, and tasks into one review queue.

Purpose

Life Assistant reduces the friction of managing a busy household by bringing messages, schedules, bills, finances, packages, and tasks into one review-focused workspace. It turns scattered signals into clear next actions while keeping important choices visible to the person using it. Every portfolio screen uses fictional sample data, never real account or household information.

Technical implementation

The application uses React and TypeScript to model records, proposed actions, approvals, and audit history. Gmail, calendar, and financial integrations supply signals; deterministic rules and AI-assisted extraction organize them into a review queue. Guarded workflows and sandboxed finance actions keep automation explainable, reversible, and subject to explicit approval.

Tools used

React
TypeScript
Gmail
Plaid

Selected screens

Gather the signals Fictional sample UI — one overview combines example commitments and household signals without exposing real data.

Turn noise into a review queue Fictional sample UI — proposed actions wait in a review queue for explicit confirmation.

Keep automation accountable Fictional sample UI — action history records what was proposed, approved, and automated.
