Chore Starter: AI does the preparation. I keep the final say.

Description and use

Chore Starter lowers the barrier to starting small chores by generating a draft, checklist, and placeholders, then requiring explicit user confirmation before any action, all running locally without external API calls.

Problem

People often avoid starting small chores because the initial effort feels burdensome, such as drafting a refund request or a polite message.

Outcome

Chore Starter reduces the friction of starting small tasks by providing a ready‑to‑review draft and a clear confirmation step, while ensuring no action is taken without explicit user approval.

Workflow

• Describe the chore in plain language
• The local Gemma model generates a draft, checklist, and placeholders
• Review the generated draft and fill in missing details
• Choose an action: Copy draft, Download task, or Open email draft
• Confirm the action in a preview dialog; cancellation aborts the action
• The action is executed locally without sending or submitting automatically

Evidence

Chore Starter is a minimal AI personal assistant for that first bit of effort.

It prepares an editable email, message or practical plan, alongside a short checklist and the details you still need to supply.

The important part: preparation is not permission.
