Bobby is home with you.

What Bobby already does.

• Keeps the family calendar

  Adds, moves and cancels events, and opens on what is next rather than on today. It reads the calendars already on your phone, so Google, iCloud and Outlook all work without connecting an account.

• Reads and files receipts

  Photograph a receipt and Bobby reads it, files it, and can tell you what a shop has cost you over a month. The reading happens without you typing anything in.

• Runs the shared lists

  Groceries, errands and reminders that everyone in the house can see and change. A reminder can find one person or the whole household.

• Backs up your photographs

  Every photo and video off every phone in the house, kept whole and shown as one album, newest first. Videos play where they sit. Bobby learns who is in them so you can ask for a person rather than scroll a year.

• Knows the household

  Who lives here, how they are related, and what you have told it about them. Ask about somebody by name and it knows which one you mean.

• Knows where things are

  Your address, how far away something is, and what is on the way home. Errands get an order instead of a list.

• Knows where everyone is, if they say so

  Each person chooses which home sees their location, and can stop at any time. Ask Bobby where someone is and it says whether they are home or how far away, never a coordinate. If you never turn it on, nothing about where you are is kept.

• Talks in threads, like the rest of you

  Reply to a message, branch a side conversation off it, send a picture or a GIF. Mention Bobby with a photo and it looks at the picture. Ask from the Bobby tab and your question gets a private thread only you can see.

• Handles the food question

  Recipes it can read off a web page, and an answer to what you can make with what is already in the house.

• Is careful around children

  Safe mode belongs to the person, not a group they are in, so no group you add them to later can switch it off. Spending and outward messages become unavailable, not hidden. A child who shares their location is seen by their parents and nobody else.

Bring your own bucket, and your own AI.

Point Ridgeback at storage you own and the photographs land in your account rather than ours. Cloudflare R2, Amazon S3, Backblaze, or a box in your basement. The same goes for the assistant: run your own model, or rent one from whoever you like.

Owning the bucket means owning the way out. You can leave without a migration, audit what is stored without asking us, and pay for exactly what your household generates.

Your storage key is encrypted the moment it arrives and there is no way to read it back, including for us. Bobby never receives it. When something needs a file, the server hands over a link that works for one file and expires in minutes.
