The Life Dashboard: your family's day, always on the wall

A touchscreen on the fridge that a local AI agent keeps current: today's schedule, the weather, the one email that actually needs you, the week ahead, family photos. The agent lives on the same Raspberry Pi, has its own phone number, texts you before meetings, and answers when you text back. It runs on your existing ChatGPT account.

It's built from open seeds, so it riffs well — the community below has turned it into meal planners and more.

Install the whole thing with one prompt

Hand it to an AI coding agent to run over SSH, or follow the guide yourself. One Raspberry Pi runs the agent and the screen.

One dashboard, many kitchens

The Life Dashboard is a starting point: swap the cards and the same Pi runs whatever your household needs. People are riffing it in the Discord — bring yours.

Meal-plan the week on an always-on screen

I riffed the Life Dashboard for meals. A screen in the kitchen shows the week's dinners and the grocery list, and my agent on the Pi keeps it current as plans change.

The whole build is one Pi and a screen

A Raspberry Pi 5, a touchscreen, and an afternoon. The agent, the kiosk, and the phone number all live on the Pi — nothing hosted, nothing subscribed to beyond the ChatGPT account you already have.
