# Bot kit: Household Coach

**Name:** Household Coach

**One-line description:** Your AO household apps in one chat: money you may be owed in your email (claims and cancellations drafted for you to send yourself, fees shown before you confirm), a Sunday money check, and links into Kinfold, Stewardly and your other AO apps.

| File | What it is |
| --- | --- |
| `bot.json` | Name, description, connector, instructions, routine, starter prompts, tools used |
| `instructions.md` | The instructions to paste into the bot |

## Setup (about 5 minutes)

1. Sign in at the AO assistant connector (`https://mcp.aoapps.io`; local demo: `http://localhost:3014`) with your AO account. The Connect page shows which tools your apps unlock (Reclamly unlocks the Reclamly tools).
2. Create a bot named **Household Coach** and paste `instructions.md` into its instructions.
3. Add a custom **MCP connector** with the URL `https://mcp.aoapps.io/mcp` (local demo: `http://localhost:3014/mcp`):
   - If your assistant supports sign-in (OAuth), leave the key empty and sign in with your AO account when asked.
   - Otherwise create a **connection key** on the Connect page and add the header `Authorization: Bearer <key>`.
4. Add the routine **Sunday money check**: Every Sunday at 6:00 PM (your time zone), with the prompt from `bot.json` → `routines[0].prompt`.
5. Try: "What AO apps do we have?", "Did I miss any money this week?", "Which of my flights could pay compensation?".

Anything that sends, posts or records money is always previewed first and waits for your yes. The routine never sends, posts or confirms anything. Revoke the key (or disconnect everything) on the Connect page at any time.

> Demo mode: the upstream servers use shared demo keys, so the tools show fictional data (Prairie Peak Plumbing, Sam Okafor).
