Hand it over. Tacitus works out what needs doing.
A named Chief of Staff, backed by AI, runs the administrative back office of your household.
- Nothing significant or irreversible happens without your approval.
- Signed, scoped authorizations instead of shared passwords.
- We never sell your data or use it to train AI models.
Try it. Pick something a client might send us, exactly as they'd send it.
No forms, categories or due dates to fill in. The client hands something over, and Tacitus creates the structure.
A household runs like a company, but from somebody's inbox.
A dual-income family with children and aging parents deals with dozens of institutions: insurers, providers, schools, landlords, utilities, agencies. Money flows, deadlines pass and records pile up. When something slips, the cost isn't the twenty minutes the task would have taken. It's the denied claim, the lapsed policy or the missed notice window.

Others organize tasks or complete them. Tacitus takes over the whole domain.
The market is already validated from both ends. Tacitus sits in the space neither end can reach.
Household apps
Shared calendars, reminders and lists. Useful, and increasingly a commodity as AI improves.
“Here's your list.”
AI + human assistants
Assistant services complete tasks on request. Valuable, but the client still has to notice, remember and ask.
“Tell us what to do.”
Tacitus
Takes responsibility for the administrative work of a household. Your Chief of Staff tracks obligations and follows through within limits you set, and shows the value every month. Automatic problem-spotting is coming soon.
“We already noticed. Here's what we did.”
Why households call us
Most households don't fail at this because they're lazy. They fail because the system density of daily life — kids, aging parents, two jobs, insurance, subscriptions, renewals — has exceeded what one person can informally manage.
Dropping visible balls
Missed renewals, late bills, and forgotten forms are the kind of small failures that feel embarrassing once they're visible to someone else — the sense of being too capable to still be dropping balls like this.
One mistake costs too much
A missed reimbursement window or a lapsed policy costs more than a month of support. Once one mistake gets expensive enough, the fee stops feeling abstract.
Your time is worth more than the task
The question isn't whether you could handle the call yourself. It's whether your time is better spent on hold with an insurer, or on the work only you can do.
Open loops living in your head
The cost isn't just the task — it's the way an unfinished renewal or an unreturned call keeps occupying your attention long after you stopped actively working on it.
Instead of twenty open loops, one household has three decisions to make. Read how it works →
Most families call us in the middle of something.
Few people wake up wanting household operations management. Plenty wake up to a parent's hospital discharge, a move in six weeks, or forty accounts to close after a death. A transition package solves the urgent problem with a fixed scope, from $850. If you want it, an ongoing retainer keeps the household running afterward.
