Willow
The assistant that stays home.
Willow is the intelligence behind every Stillgrove installation. Always awake, never listening for anyone but you.
What Willow is
A voice, a memory, and a small, quiet mind that lives inside your walls.
Willow runs on the private core of your home: either on a computer you already own, or inside the Waystone we install for you. When you speak to a Skipping Stone in the kitchen, Willow is what answers back. She is the same voice from room to room, and she remembers what she needs to, and forgets everything else.
She is not a chatbot dressed up in a speaker. She is a household assistant designed for the way people actually live in their homes: first names, half-finished sentences, "the usual," "not that one." She is tuned to your household because she only serves your household.
What she does
The daily work of a home.
Lights, shades, climate
Lighting comes under Willow's control first. At your consultation we'll tell you plainly which of your existing shades, thermostats, and devices can join privately, and which can't.
Timers, reminders, lists
The small currency of a running household. Kept locally. Spoken back in the room they were set from.
Answers, when you want them
For questions that genuinely need the outside world (the weather), Willow reaches out on your behalf, fetches what it needs, and forgets the trip. Nothing about you rides along.
What she doesn't
No log, no leak, no listener.
Willow does not stream audio to any company.
Willow does not keep a searchable log of everything you've said.
Willow does not learn from other households, only from yours.
Willow does not require an account, a login, or a phone app to work.
When the wire goes down
Your internet can go out. Willow doesn't.
Because everything essential runs on hardware in your house, Willow keeps working when the outside world hiccups. Lights, timers, reminders, and lists carry on. Weather waits for the connection to return.
