Using the Large World Model for Domestic Life: Memory, Agency, and the Spaces We Inhabit

I. Agentic AI as a More Human Model of Intelligence

Most digital tools today require users to bend to their logic — navigating icons, digging through menus, and managing fragmented apps just to complete a simple task. Agentic AI upends this paradigm. It replaces passive interfaces with active partnership: a system that listens, learns, remembers, and evolves alongside its user. Rather than navigating a rigid UI, members engage in an ongoing dialogue — not with a faceless other, but with a reflective extension of themselves. The result is a model of intelligence that feels more like intuition than interface.

Agentic AI is as open-ended as life itself. It is designed to respond to the full range of circumstances, decisions, and aspirations that arise in relation to the spaces we inhabit — from planning a renovation to remembering when to reorder filters, from rethinking a room layout to coordinating seasonal transitions or life events. Every interaction contributes to a deepening understanding of the member’s style, needs, and goals. Over time, the system becomes both more responsive and more proactive, capable of surfacing the right things — products, services, ideas, or reminders — before they’re even requested.

At the heart of this intelligence is memory — both as a record of past clicks or searches and as a structured, persistent archive of the member’s home, things, spaces, relationships, and intentions. This memory forms the substrate for agency. It allows the AI to recall past decisions, track evolving needs, and suggest timely actions that align with broader life patterns. It can zoom from the smallest object to the entire household and back again — always organized, always retrievable.

This approach marks a paradigm shift in how we relate to digital tools. Instead of static apps with arbitrary friction points, members encounter a unified platform that fades into the background — surfacing only what’s needed, when it’s needed, across every layer of domestic life. It doesn’t replace human judgment, creativity, or care — it enhances them. By making intelligence spatial, temporal, and personal, Agentic AI opens the door to a more intentional, efficient, and expressive way of living.

II. Moving Into Your First Serious Apartment

It begins with a milestone. You’ve landed the job, signed the offer, and now, finally, you can afford to live alone. No more roommates. No more inherited furniture. You’re ready for something that feels like yours. Not just a place to crash, but a space to grow into. A place where ambition and selfhood start to materialize in walls and windows and floors you actually chose.

This first step is rarely simple. The city moves fast. Brokers have their own agenda. Your days are full—finishing school, onboarding at work, managing a long-distance relationship, maybe even debating a cross-country move. You’re barely sure what neighborhood makes sense, let alone what layout, light quality, or lease term you’ll actually be able to live with. You're toggling between apps, listings, messages, spreadsheets, and texts. And all the while, a nagging voice in your head is asking: Is this worth it? Am I doing it right? What am I even looking for?

This is where your agent steps in. Not a human agent—but something more constant, more comprehensive. An intelligent presence built into the platform. You describe what you’re trying to accomplish: more sunlight, fewer disruptions, a space where you can cook on Sundays, host a friend from out of town, maybe share a bottle of wine on the fire escape. Your agent starts to shape the search—doing everything from tracking budget and size to learning what matters to you and why. It draws on your previous experiences (remember that noise complaint from your last place?) and your aspirations (you’ve been pinning modular bookshelves and terracotta tiles). It factors in walkability, social context, even your evolving routine.

Once the lease is signed, your agent helps you make it yours. It offers a move-in checklist tailored to your goals and quirks. It coordinates service providers, schedules deliveries for when you're actually home, and helps you map out improvements you can make—like replacing the overhead light you hate or adding privacy without blocking the view. It makes product suggestions that align with your style, budget, and space. It helps you log expenses, set up recurring tasks, and remember to cancel that storage unit you no longer need.

As you settle in, the system doesn’t disappear. It remembers. It learns your patterns. It helps you refine your preferences. If something breaks, it helps you troubleshoot or connect to the right resource. If the place doesn’t work out, it helps you plan an exit strategy—one that keeps your investments, records, and memories intact. All of it in one place. No folder digging. No toggling between apps.

Beyond moving into an apartment, you’re beginning a new chapter. And you’re not doing it alone. You’re doing it with a tool that understands where you’ve been, where you’re going, and how to help you get there with clarity, style, and peace of mind.

III. Moving In Together

You’ve made the big decision. Whether it's a drawer in the dresser or both names on the lease, you're no longer just visiting each other’s places — you're building something shared. Maybe you’re moving into one partner’s space, maybe you’re starting fresh. Either way, it’s about more than square footage or closet space. It’s about how two lives, two rhythms, two senses of home come together — and stay together.

Blending isn’t always seamless. There’s the literal merging of things: two coffee makers, two sets of linens, furniture that doesn’t quite match in scale or tone. There’s the stylistic negotiation — minimalism meets maximalism, beige meets bold. There are invisible boundaries, too: how sound travels from the home office, what “clean” really means, when alone time becomes too much or not enough. You want to make a home that honors both of you, but the process can reveal more than you expect — habits, histories, the pressure of family expectations, career ambitions pulling in different directions.

With an LWM, your agent becomes an intermediary, a translator, and a planner. It doesn’t advocate for one position or another. It helps you build consensus. It learns your individual preferences, then suggests spatial configurations, color palettes, and layouts that meet both your needs without forcing compromise. It helps you inventory what you already own, suggests what to keep or let go, and finds complementary replacements. The platform can even mock up new layouts or test configurations based on your space, so you can visualize where that oversized sectional or inherited dining table will actually fit.

Your agent tracks logistics: coordinating movers, scheduling installations, syncing up utility transfers, arranging deliveries around both your schedules. It helps you set up zones — a focused workspace with acoustic privacy, a shared kitchen you both enjoy, a media nook for downtime. It supports the emotional reality of the move, too: reminding you of anniversaries, helping plan a housewarming, even managing a joint budget for home investments or upcoming travel.

As your shared life deepens, the platform grows with you. It becomes a record of your evolving style, a map of your shared goals. It helps track which items you’ve bought together and what you hope to upgrade over time. It recommends services — cleaners, handypeople, stylists — based on your past preferences and needs. And if you decide to take the next step, your agent is there to help: organizing a wedding registry aligned with your long-term home plan, or helping you list and pack if you decide to move again.

And yes, sometimes things don’t work out. If the relationship shifts or ends, the platform holds everything — from receipts to memories — in a structure that can be divided, exported, or archived with dignity. It allows for continuity, even in transition. Living together isn’t just about sharing a space — it’s about learning to build a future. One that’s as flexible, expressive, and intentional as you are. 

IV. Owning Your Own Home

At some point, the question stops being “What can I live with?” and becomes “What am I building toward?” Maybe it’s a new job in a new city, maybe a growing family, or maybe you’re just tired of paying rent and watching your money disappear. You’ve done the math. You’ve walked the neighborhoods. Now you’re ready—for permanence, for equity, for something that finally feels like yours.

Homeownership is more than a milestone. It’s a commitment. The listings blur together. You're weighing property taxes against school districts, modern finishes against solid foundations, charm against functionality. Every open house is a negotiation between what you want, what you can afford, and what you’ll grow into. There’s pressure to move quickly, to secure financing, to make an offer before someone else does. Yet this isn’t just about winning a bid—it’s about choosing the context for your next chapter.

That’s where an intelligent companion supported by an LWM becomes invaluable. It already knows what you care about: how the light illuminates the living room in the afternoon, your preference for pre-war detail, your need for a third room that can flex as an office, nursery, or studio. It helps you vet listings, highlighting price, location, build quality, energy systems, potential zoning issues, and flood or seismic risk. It even flags options eligible for special loan programs or grants based on your income, geography, or goals.

Once you’re in escrow, your agent becomes your project manager. It tracks contingencies, keeps your documents organized, helps you compare lenders, and suggests specialists for inspection, legal review, or closing. If the property has known quirks—an aging roof, a shared driveway, a restrictive HOA—it helps you understand the implications and make a plan. You never feel alone, because you’re backed by a system that’s seen hundreds of homes, transactions, and timelines—customized to your life.

And when you finally cross the threshold into your new home, the real work begins. But you’re ready. Your agent has already helped you scope the move, introduced vetted vendors, and mapped out seasonal maintenance. It suggests a phased renovation plan that fits your budget and your bandwidth. It helps you define the character of the home—identifying key pieces of furniture to invest in, how to preserve or update historic elements, how to layer in your personality without compromising resale value.

As you settle in, the platform becomes your silent partner in ownership. It reminds you to check the sump pump before spring rains. It tracks your utility usage and compares it to neighbors. It keeps receipts, warranties, service records, and product manuals in a structured archive—ready when you need them. If a tree limb crashes through the roof or a pipe bursts, your agent pulls up your insurance policy, helps you document the damage, and recommends next steps. It helps you plan a kitchen remodel, or refinance when rates drop.

Owning a home is a dream—and a burden. With the right tools, the right support, it can become a foundation. For security. For beauty. For memories. For a future that goes beyond imagination to become deliberately constructed. Beyond owning property, you’re shaping the place where your life—and maybe your family’s life—will unfold for years to come.

V. A Home for You and Your Family

This time, it’s not just about you. You’ve spent years climbing, learning, saving. You’ve moved from starter apartments to serious homes, navigating the chaos and clarity of each transition. And now you’re at a new threshold—one shaped both by personal ambition as well as responsibility, care, and the desire to build something enduring. A family is growing. The stakes are higher. The choices more complex. The possibilities—dizzyingly wide.

You might be moving for better schools, more space, a safer neighborhood, or simply a new chapter. Maybe you’re dreaming of a garden for your kids, a mudroom for the dog, a quiet home office with a door that closes. You have more resources now—but also more to manage: dual careers, overlapping schedules, outside opinions, and the gravity of a six- or seven-figure purchase. There are dozens of tabs open: listings, market reports, mortgage calculators, school rankings, climate risk maps. Everyone tells you it’s about location. But what about light, orientation, aging systems, or a backyard that will still work when your toddler becomes a teenager?

This is where your agent becomes indispensable. It cuts through the fragmentation. It listens to your evolving priorities and filters the market—not just by square footage or zip code, but by deeper metrics: lifestyle fit, long-term value, construction resilience, operational load, and spatial adaptability. It helps you anticipate family needs for today and for five or ten years from now. It knows what kind of spaces you’ve loved before, and what mistakes you’ve promised not to repeat.

Your agent shows you the full picture—even off-market opportunities—and helps you benchmark each option against your financial plan, your existing home’s resale prospects, and your timeline. It organizes inspections, aligns brokers, and flags regulatory issues. When you’re juggling closings on one home and opening another, your agent choreographs the sequence with precision—lining up vendors, coordinating storage, and minimizing disruptions.

Once you arrive, the transformation begins. This is your family’s stage—a place to make memories, to gather, to retreat. It’s also a system that demands coordination: waste, water, HVAC, security, cleaning, landscaping, appliance maintenance. The platform becomes the operating system behind the scenes—scheduling services, optimizing energy use, managing warranties, tracking repairs, and maintaining real-time home documentation for insurance, valuation, and emergencies.

It also supports the human side of living. Your agent remembers your child’s evolving preferences, logs heirlooms and keepsakes, and helps plan seasonal changes—from reconfiguring rooms to hosting celebrations. It can help track furniture and collections, suggest tasteful updates that reflect your current tastes, and connect you with designers, craftspeople, or service providers who align with your style and budget. If you’re building a home that reflects your success, it helps you maintain that polish—so that the garden is blooming when guests arrive, the lighting is just right, and the house feels like a curated extension of your story.

Owning a family home is never static. Kids grow. Priorities shift. Trends change. With the right support, the home evolves with you—no longer a source of friction, but a living, learning space that supports the people inside it.

VI. An Empty Nest, Enjoying Life and a Second Home

The house is quieter now. The routines that once defined the days—school drop-offs, rushed breakfasts, late-night check-ins—have given way to something looser, more open-ended. Whether your children have moved out, your career is winding down, or you’ve simply reached a point where the rhythms of family life no longer dictate your every move, this is a time of reevaluation. A time to ask: What do we want now? Where do we go from here?

Sometimes, the answer is simple: somewhere new. It might be a smaller place in the city, closer to culture, food, and friends. Or a retreat in the hills, on the coast, or in a village where the pace slows and the seasons matter. Perhaps it’s not even about leaving—but expanding. A second home. A new base. A fresh experiment in living. The logistics of reinvention, however, are rarely simple. There’s the question of what to do with the family home—keep it, rent it, pass it down? There are belongings to sort through, some rich with memory, others long overdue for a goodbye. There may be health considerations, changing mobility, or the need to stay close to aging parents or grown children now scattered across cities. You want something beautiful, but manageable. Turnkey, but meaningful. A place that brings ease—not more stress.

An LWM allows this step to become an act of thoughtful design, not guesswork. Your agent helps you assess options through a multidimensional lens: climate, culture, healthcare access, social engagement, cost of living, and long-term financial impact. It models scenarios for renting vs. buying, helps you track the value of your current home, and assists in coordinating donations, consignment, and digital archiving for items you choose to let go. It remembers everything—what you’ve collected, what your children may want, what your partner needs to feel at home. If you’re furnishing from scratch, your agent helps curate a new chapter—introducing local makers, regional history, and cultural references that allow the home to reflect its context while still feeling like you. It helps you purchase wisely—investing in pieces that are lasting, livable, and transportable.

Operationally, the platform simplifies multi-home living. It coordinates cleaners, caretakers, and seasonal checks. It tracks expenses and usage across properties, alerts you to maintenance needs, and helps with insurance documentation, emergency plans, and vendor management—even from afar. It ensures your travel calendar syncs with your home's needs, and that arrival always feels like welcome, not work. And if the new home becomes a place for entertaining—dinners with old friends, reunions with children and grandchildren, or even the early days of a new relationship—your agent can help orchestrate the details.

In the process, it allows this phase of life to become one of expansion into new forms of connection, creativity, and tranquility. It’s about living with intention and celebrating the freedom that comes after decades of planning. This is your reward for working hard and for staying curious. The home becomes a base for travel, a setting for hosting grandchildren, a place to learn, to cook, to rest, to rediscover what it means to live on your own terms. And all of it is supported by a system that remembers, anticipates, and adapts—not just to the home, but to the life unfolding within it.

VII. Planning for Aging in Place

At some point, the home stops being a launchpad—and becomes a haven. Perhaps the stairs have come to feel steeper. The mornings a little slower. Maybe it was a minor fall, or a diagnosis, or simply the realization that the things you once did without thinking now require more thought. Maybe it wasn’t even your health—but that of a spouse, a sibling, or a lifelong friend. Whatever the catalyst, something shifts: the home must adapt to the inevitable aging of the human body.

This shift doesn’t need to mean surrender. It can mark the beginning of a deeply intentional phase—one in which the home becomes both a shelter and a stage for legacy, reflection, and ease. For some, that means retrofitting a familiar space: adding grab bars and better lighting, widening doorways, automating systems, relocating the bedroom downstairs, adding an elevator. For others, it means finding a new kind of home—all spaces on a single level, a place with increasing levels of care, designed to support you through every stage, while maintaining the style, dignity, and independence you’ve always valued.

Your agent helps you plan this transition before it becomes urgent. It tracks health indicators and risk factors over time, suggesting adaptations before they become necessities. It models retrofits—showing how your current home can be made safer and more livable—and connects you with reputable specialists to execute the work. If a move is needed, your agent helps you evaluate options: independent living communities, assisted care, or co-living models that blend privacy with support. It filters based on location, services, accessibility, cultural alignment, and proximity to loved ones.

It does so without stripping the home of its soul. It remembers what matters to you—your routines, collections, music, scents, lighting preferences. It makes sure those things move with you. It coordinates the logistics of downsizing, archiving, gifting, and storing. If needed, it supports children or caretakers by creating shared visibility and clear decision-making tools. If a live-in aide is joining your household, it helps define the role, the schedule, and the right space in the home.

More than being about caretaking, this process must remain grounded in living. The platform surfaces local opportunities for learning, recreation, and new friendships. If you’re finding love again—or companionship—it helps you plan travel, host guests, or rediscover hobbies that once brought you joy. If you’re creating an archive of your life, your agent helps you curate: digitizing photos, tagging important objects, recording oral history, or drafting notes to accompany a treasured heirloom. For those who built or restored a significant home, your agent can help identify preservation pathways, partner with cultural institutions, or structure giving plans.

As health becomes more fragile, the platform holds continuity. It tracks medications and appointments, ensures emergency protocols are in place, and logs critical systems for caretakers. It reminds you—gently—of birthdays, anniversaries, and things that still bring pleasure: fresh flowers, a familiar meal, a favorite poem. Eventually, the home becomes quieter again. It is not, however, defined by decline and instead radiates intention. You’ve made peace with the objects, the rooms, the chapters that shaped you. What’s left is lightness. Freedom. A sense that this final chapter is yours to write—and that you are supported, known, and remembered.

VIII. Selling the Family Home and Designing a Legacy

There comes a time when it is time to let go of even the most beloved home. You’ve lived a full life here—hosting holidays, building careers, raising children, collecting the pieces that made a house a home. Every room holds a memory. Every corner speaks in your voice. And now, the question no one wants to ask becomes impossible to avoid: What happens next?

It may begin with quiet signals: a staircase you avoid, mail you no longer open, closets untouched for years. Or it might come suddenly—a hospitalization, the passing of a spouse, a hard conversation with your children. Whatever the path, the moment arrives when it’s clear: it’s time to plan for your final years and, in the process, your legacy. An LWM ensures that this process isn’t cold or chaotic. It makes the process deeply human. Because for years, your agent has been there—organizing your spaces, tracking your things, mapping your routines. Now, it helps you bring it all together. It knows the stories behind the dining table, the letters tucked in the drawer, the painting you acquired on your honeymoon. It knows what matters—and to whom.

Your agent assists in orchestrating this final act with clarity and compassion. It helps assess the home’s value, lines up the right broker, prepares disclosures, and makes light-touch improvements to increase market appeal. It can work with your estate planner and financial advisor to ensure proceeds are structured to benefit your heirs or a charity you care about. And it does so while preserving your privacy and values—honoring your wish to leave gracefully, without burdening those you love.

Beyond the transaction, your agent helps craft something far more enduring: your legacy. It gathers and organizes the physical and digital archive of your life—photos, writings, objects, projects, and preferences. It helps you tag items with stories and significance, offering pathways for their future stewardship. For your family, it creates clarity—documenting who gets what, what to sell or store, and how to avoid the emotional confusion that so often follows loss.

If relationships have frayed, your agent can gently help you revisit those threads—making it easier to pass on with peace. If you worry no one is there to carry the story forward, it helps you expand your circle—connecting with those who share your values, or partnering with institutions that can preserve what you’ve built. Whether you’re leaving a home, a collection, or simply a well-lived life, your agent ensures the essence isn’t lost.

Letting go doesn’t mean forgetting. Selling the family home can be a profound act of care—liberating both yourself and those you love from confusion, clutter, and emotional weight. It can create space for new beginnings for those you love. Whether it’s one last move, one last trip, or simply the joy of knowing everything is in order, this chapter can be an ending that provides a sense of completion.

IX. Beyond Transitions: Supporting the Ongoing Life of a Home

Beyond being defined by its purchase, its renovation, or even its sale, a home is shaped in the days between—the ordinary Tuesdays and unexpected Fridays, the dinner parties and scraped knees, the slow accumulation of memories that give space its soul. An LWM can both guide you through life’s major transitions while also supporting the quiet continuous work of living well.

Your agent doesn’t disappear once the moving boxes are gone. It becomes a quiet, steady presence—tracking maintenance needs so the HVAC doesn’t fail in January, reminding you to winterize the garden, renewing your city sticker, flagging that your water bill seems unusually high. It helps you prepare for guests, plan meals for holidays, remember where you stored the extra linens, and reorder lightbulbs you love but can never find again.

It celebrates with you too. It captures the moments you want to remember—your child’s first steps in the hallway, the dinner you cooked entirely from your own garden, the anniversary surprise pulled off in the living room. It helps you log events and memories in a way that avoids accumulating clutter and instead builds an archive of both things and of meaning. Over time, your home becomes a living record of how you spent your life in meals, gatherings, repairs, purchases, conversations, rituals, and care.

And that care is mutual. The LWM helps you live more lightly—tracking what you own, what you no longer need, and what might serve someone else better. It keeps your space agile, your storage efficient, your footprint smaller. It nudges you to give away what you’ve outgrown, guides you in choosing quality over quantity, and reminds you that homes, like people, are most beautiful when they are intentional.

Beyond a tool for managing property, the platform is a companion for making a home—not just once, but again and again, through every season, every shift, every chapter. Whether you are starting out, starting over, or simply staying put, the platform ensures that your home reflects where you are and who you are becoming.

X. A Final Note

Our ultimate goal is to build a smarter home, support smoother transitions, and to design a world in which our living spaces remember us, support us, and grow with us. The Large World Model reimagines the relationship between people and their homes as intelligent, responsive partners in a well-lived life.

We invite you to help shape this future as a co-creator. The future of home isn’t passive, it’s participatory. And we believe that it starts now.
