What Dustav is

Most consumer AI hands you a tool — a blank box that waits for a prompt and forgets you the moment the tab closes. Dustav is built differently: it's a utility-first agent for your household — a shared calendar, notes, and a facts knowledge base, run by an agent that actually helps keep the life-admin straight. It reads the school calendar off a photo and drops the dates onto a shared calendar, remembers the durable facts about your family, sets the reminders, and keeps the notes and drafts you make together so they don't vanish into a transcript.

These docs are a manual first — how to actually use it — with a wing on how it's built for anyone curious enough to look.

An agent that runs the life-admin

The point of Dustav isn't to chat — it's to do the work a busy household never gets to. Snap a photo of the season's game times, a birthday invite, a summer-camp schedule, and the agent reads every date straight onto the calendar with reminders. Or skip the photo and just ask — "add the World Cup knockout games in my timezone" — and it looks it up, converts the kickoffs, and sets them. The plan you drafted, the note you wanted kept, the standing schedule: they land in notes and the facts the agent remembers, not a scroll-back you never do.

Dustav does this as a plain, honest agent — a fixed name and a 🐦‍⬛ raven mark, no persona to configure, no ceremony to sit through. It provisions instantly and gets to work. Getting started takes you from nothing to a working calendar; the calendar and notes pages cover what it can do.

One agent, the whole household

Dustav doesn't have to be just yours. Set one up for your household and the whole family shares a single agent that knows everyone in it — each person with their own private chat, the agent keeping one shared set of facts about family life: the birthdays, the appointments, the recital on Thursday. Kids join on a device you approve; another adult joins by email invite as their own private account. Whoever sets it up holds the controls. See one agent, the whole household.

And you can see all of it

Here's the part most AI won't show you: you can read exactly what the agent reads. The calendar, the notes, the facts it's learned about your household, its operating rules, the exact tools it can call, and the precise context it loads on every turn — all of it is visible in a built-in viewer we call the glass box.

No hidden prompt, no opaque vector store, no mystery weights deciding what the agent knows about your family. If you want to know why the agent did something, you can go read the state that shaped it — and if a fact is wrong, you ask it to change it and watch the edit happen. That transparency is how a product that holds your household's whole life earns the trust to do so. Start with the glass box.

How these docs are laid out

Using Dustav is the manual — getting started, the calendar, notes, what it remembers. Family covers the shared-household setup. Trust & privacy is what we can and can't see, and how to trust it with your life-admin. And Under the hood is the real technical detail — how the context is built, the cost math, the design decisions — for builders and the curious. Writing our safety posture and data-custody promises down isn't just good faith; it's accountable good faith — a stance you can read is one we can be held to.
