A family AI that actually lives here.
Candice is the private assistant a family in Malaysia built for themselves. It lives in iMessage, knows each person, and helps before you ask.
Hand Candice a real problem, watch what comes back.
Not a demo script. A real, unedited conversation, plus the three things that make it feel less like software and more like someone who lives with you.
A real conversation with Candice. Screen-recorded, unedited.
It remembers
The renovation budget, the developer handover still waiting on re-inspection, the balcony you measured last week. You never repeat yourself. Candice was there the first time.
It does the work
Asked how many light panels each room needs, Candice sized it from the real spec and standard lux targets, not a guess:
- Living2 panels. 25–30m² at 300 lux needs ~8,000–9,000 lumens.
- Bedrooms1 each. 200 lux target, one panel covers 3,200 lumens.
- Kitchen1 + task. 400 lux for counters, add under-cabinet light.
- SkipBathrooms (not wet-rated) and the foyer (overkill).
- 6 panels, RM2,154 total, and a flag that the smart version's Zigbee may not pair with your Aqara before you buy.
You own it
It runs from your home. The budget, the messages, the plans stay yours. No cloud company reading over your shoulder, no account to become the product of. A member of the household, not a monthly fee.
Your name never leaves in the clear.
When a request needs a cloud model, the private details don't travel with it. They're masked on the way out and restored on the way back, so the model reasons without ever seeing who it's about.
Your text
A message lands in iMessage, names and numbers included.
Gather
Candice pulls the memory and facts the answer needs.
Mask
Names, emails, phones and cards become placeholder tokens.
Model
Only the masked prompt leaves. Never the real details.
Unmask
Tokens swap back to the real values, at home.
Reply
You get the real answer back in the thread.
What the model sees
"did [PERSON_2] reply from [EMAIL_1] about the reno quote?"
What you see
"yep, Elaine emailed back from elaine@… this morning. the quote came in RM4,000 under budget."
Build your own Candice.
One family did it in Malaysia. The whole thing runs at home, and it can run at yours. Before anything that can't be undone, Candice checks with you first.
