ASHA: Calm Intelligence For Homes
Summary
ASHA is an ambient operating system that turns sensor signals and architectural cues into gentle, privacy-first actions so the home feels helpful, quiet, and human.
Core Problem
Homes are full of gadgets that nag, fragment attention, and leak data. People end up acting as the integrator while trust erodes and useful automations stall.
Goal
Make daily living feel lighter by automating light, climate, sound, and small cues in a way that respects consent, minimizes alerts, and works in the background.
Target Users
Design-forward households, elder care and wellness residences, boutique hospitality, and architects or developers who want invisible intelligence without surveillance vibes.
Core Solution
A local-first OS that learns routines, adapts the environment with smooth transitions, stores memories only with explicit consent, and stays quiet unless action truly helps.
Key Features:
Mode engine for different moments: Guardian, Hearth, Muse, Partner, Guide
Context Fabric that fuses radar, thermal, audio, energy and presence into simple states like occupancy and circadian phase
Restraint by default so inaction is a valid, scored choice
Policy and consent layer with clear prompts and audit trails
Memory types with control: short-term working context, per-person preferences, optional episodic archive
Edge compute ring that keeps sensitive processing inside the home
Device-agnostic control through bridges like Home Assistant and Matter
Gentle, architectural outputs: light, temperature, sound, haptics, and micro-nudges instead of noisy notifications
Design Challenge
Remove friction and alert fatigue while coordinating multiple people in one space. Earn trust through local processing, explicit consent, and explainable action.
Platform Impact
Reframes the smart home from app control to architectural intelligence. Lowers cognitive load, increases comfort and safety, and gives measurable wins like fewer manual tweaks and higher acceptance of suggestions.
Bigger Vision
A network of Havens that care for families across distance, where memory is by permission, privacy is standard, and help arrives with a whisper, not a siren.
