Coleman

by Sonance

The chief of staff for your homes.

I · The family

He knows your family.

The suite your sister prefers. The wine that is opened on Fridays. That Kate sleeps badly on feather pillows. Coleman keeps every preference, and where it came from.

II · Arrival

Every arrival, ready.

Friday, 3:15 pm. Wheels down in Santa Barbara. Before the car turns into the drive, the rooms are made up, the flowers are in, and the house has set the evening.

III · Above the systems

Your systems know how. Coleman knows why.

Savant, Crestron, Control4 and Lutron dim the lights and lower the shades. Coleman knows when they should, because guests arrive at seven, because Kate reads by the window, because the house is empty until June.

IV · When something breaks

A leak at midnight. A closed record by morning.

He shuts off what should be shut off, with your approval, calls the right people under the right plan, and keeps the record an insurer would ask for.

Pool houseIncident
  1. Water under the pool-house sink.
  2. Main shutoff. Michael approved from his phone.
  3. Water off. No one else woken.
  4. Pacific Plumbing, under your service plan, arrives with a job pass.
  5. Closed. Photographs, invoice and moisture readings filed for the insurer.

V · Your people

Staff and vendors, coordinated.

Rosa sees today’s rooms. Chef Laurent sees Saturday’s dinner. The pool service sees the pool, for two hours on Thursday, and nothing more.

VI · Every residence

One Coleman for the family. One for every house.

Each house has its own Coleman: the expert on that address, its quirks and its people. The family’s Coleman carries your tastes from one house to the next.

VII · Private by design

Lives in your home, not in someone’s cloud.

Coleman is built to run on a computer inside your residence. Your family’s details are never used to train anyone’s models.

  • He asks first, before anything opens, unlocks, or reaches outside the house.
  • Codes are never spoken.
  • Every fact keeps its source. Every action leaves a record.

VIII · Conversation

Simply talk to him.

At home, in the car, from the other house. No app to learn, no scene to program.

  1. You

    We’re coming up Friday with the Wexlers.

  2. Coleman

    Very good. I’ll have the north suite made up and tell Rosa. The Wexlers don’t eat shellfish. Shall I ask Chef Laurent for the lamb on Saturday?

  3. You

    Please.

  4. Coleman

    Done. The house will be ready at four.
