Coordination for communities, run by agents.

The helpis alreadyin the room

You type what's happening. It finds the right people, asks them, and follows up. You do the two things only you can.

The truck, the spare room, the neighbour with Saturday free. one does the asking. People do the rest.

For churches, and the groups that show up when something happens.

In plain terms

one is a coordinator that never sleeps. It knows who in your community can do what, asks them when something comes up, follows through, and tells you only what needs you. One roof or four hundred people after a hurricane: same product, same care. A meal train, a move, a storm, a widower who says he's fine.

Nothing for your people to install. They answer a text.

The film. A roof, a truck, a yes. Then four hundred people, and a night you slept through.
75 seconds. Sound on.
While you slept

Friday nightto Saturday.

Reminders went out. Three people said yes. One couldn't, so it asked the next. You read this over coffee.

Good morning

2 need you.
  • Call Ray Okafor back. He asked for you by name.
  • Approve the $180 for tarps.
Before

You text forty people. Six reply. You chase the rest, and you're the one who remembers who said what.

After

You read a brief. You do the two things only you can. Everything else is already moving.

What it does

Everything a goodcoordinator does,in your name.

What it isn't

Not a database you maintain. Not a blast-text tool. Not an app your people have to install.

Now

Type what'shappening.

One sentence. The network finds the people, asks, introduces, follows up. You watch the card move.

What's happening? Describe a problem, a request, or something you heard.

The conversation

Nobody getsa form.

One conversation per person, by text or email. It asks kindly, takes a no, and tells you only what needs you.

the networkto Dana, by text
Dana, could you bring the truck to the Okafors' Saturday at 9? A no is fine.
Dana Plumberhelping
Yes, glad to.
the networkto you
Dana's bringing the truck Saturday at 9. Nothing needed from you.
Any situation

Say it in asentence. Theplan draws itself.

No forms to build. Your sentence becomes the shifts, the supplies, the questions, and the rules that run themselves.

The brain

It learnswhat worked.

Every week it writes down what to do differently. Plain notes. Yours to edit.

learnings/peer-asks-need-a-nudge

One ask is not enough for peers

Two invitations with no follow-up got no reply. One kind nudge three days later turned both into a yes.

Reach for this before asking anyone to invite someone in.

One end of the range

Run point on a disaster.

Trucks, water, three sites, four hundred volunteers. Each gets one clear ask.

The other

Get one lonely man into a group.

He said he was fine. The network noticed, found the Thursday group, and asked the right person to invite him.

A no is always fine

Every ask says so. Never twice in a row. Never at night.

01 / 03

Nothing reaches a person except through their conversation

No blast list. One person at a time, every message screened.

02 / 03

The network acts, then tells you

A short brief. A short list. Only what needs you.

Straight answers

Is an AItexting my people?

Whose voice is it?
Yours. Every message goes out in the coordinator's name and tone, and you can read all of it.
Can people opt out?
One word stops it. Asks are capped, never at night, and you set the limits.
Who sees what?
Addresses only you. Sensitive needs stay discreet. Your list is yours and leaves with you.
What's an agent?
A small team of AI workers with one job each: a planner that works every need, a steward for every person, a screen on every message, a librarian that files what was learned. They act within rules you set, in your name.
What do I actually do?
Type what's happening. Read a short brief. Do the few things only you can.

Agents run the coordination. People do what only people can do.

The ask

Run it with us this fall.

Ten people, two weeks, your list stays yours. We do the setup and sit beside you the whole time. If it doesn't earn its place, you've lost nothing but a fortnight.
