Senior AI Automation Engineer / Full-Stack Developer — Build Private AI Household Management System

I am looking for an exceptional AI engineer or experienced full-stack developer to design and build a sophisticated, AI-powered household management system for my family. The vision is to create a private AI Chief of Staff that manages family calendars, household employees, recurring responsibilities, transportation, inventory, purchasing, and daily household operations. This is not a simple chatbot project. I want an intelligent, proactive system that understands natural-language instructions, coordinates people, follows up on assignments, learns recurring patterns, and significantly reduces the time my wife and I spend managing our household. The most important requirement is simplicity. My wife and I should be able to manage nearly everything through ordinary text messages without needing to open multiple applications. I am looking for a developer who can help architect the system properly, build it in phases, and potentially remain involved long-term as we expand its capabilities. Core Features 1. AI-Powered SMS Communication Dedicated phone number connected to an AI assistant. Shared group text with my wife, myself, and the AI. Separate two-way SMS conversations with household employees. Natural-language understanding, including voice-dictated text messages. AI asks intelligent follow-up questions when information is missing. Proactive communication without requiring users to initiate every interaction. Persistent context and household-specific rules. 2. Intelligent Family Calendar Shared Google Calendar integration. Create, modify, and cancel events through text messages. Ask for missing details, such as event duration, location, or participants. Identify conflicts across connected calendars. Coordinate transportation and preparation requirements. Daily and weekly calendar summaries. Proactive morning and evening scheduling check-ins. 3. Household Employee Management Manage multiple household employees with different schedules and responsibilities. Assign one-time and recurring tasks automatically. Communicate with employees through individual SMS conversations. Track task assignment, acknowledgment, and completion. Follow up automatically on incomplete tasks. Escalate unresolved issues to management. Handle employee days off and backup coverage. Maintain task history and accountability reporting. 4. Intelligent Activity Coordination When a family activity is scheduled, the AI should understand the additional preparation required. For example, if my wife texts that our son has baseball Friday at 6 PM, the AI should: Ask how long to reserve on the calendar. Confirm the location and transportation requirements. Create the calendar event. Contact our driver with the appropriate preparation checklist. Ensure sports equipment, uniforms, water, and other supplies are ready. Follow up with the driver for confirmation. Notify us only if something requires attention. The system should support reusable activity templates and household-specific rules. 5. Household Inventory and Purchasing Integrate available Amazon purchasing history and order notifications. Analyze purchase frequency and estimate product consumption. Maintain household inventory records. Identify supplies likely to run low. Request inventory verification from employees. Generate shopping lists and suggested replenishment orders. Support purchasing approval workflows. Track deliveries, returns, subscriptions, and recurring purchases. Potentially support QR-code-based inventory management. Amazon integration must account for actual API limitations and use secure, compliant methods. 6. Household Operations and Maintenance Recurring cleaning and maintenance schedules. Staff checklists and operating procedures. Home equipment maintenance and service reminders. Grocery and meal-preparation coordination. School activities and children's schedules. Vehicle maintenance and transportation preparation. Travel preparation and packing checklists. Package and delivery management. Vendor and contractor coordination. 7. Proactive AI Intelligence I want the system to do more than respond to commands. It should proactively: Identify missing calendar information. Follow up on outstanding requests. Recognize recurring household tasks. Suggest improvements to schedules and procedures. Identify frequently delayed responsibilities. Anticipate household inventory needs. Generate daily and weekly operational summaries. Learn from historical activity while respecting explicit household rules. 8. Simple Administrative Dashboard Although SMS should be the primary interface, I also want a clean, mobile-friendly dashboard where authorized users can: View family calendars. Review household tasks and employee assignments. Manage recurring schedules and automation rules. Monitor inventory and purchasing. View outstanding requests and exceptions. Review AI activity and historical records. Configure employee permissions and notification preferences. Proposed Technology Stack I am open to expert recommendations, but the initial architecture may include: OpenAI API for natural-language processing and AI orchestration. Twilio for SMS, MMS, and group messaging. Google Calendar API for scheduling. ClickUp or a custom task-management backend. Supabase/PostgreSQL for structured data and historical records. Make, n8n, or a custom workflow orchestration system. Next.js/React for the administrative dashboard. Secure integrations with email, purchasing, and other household services. I am not committed to any particular technology. I want the developer to recommend the most reliable, scalable, and maintainable architecture. Important Technical Requirements Reliable scheduled automations and background processing. Persistent household data and conversational context. Structured AI tool calling and validation. Strong user authentication and role-based permissions. Secure storage of credentials and sensitive information. Duplicate-message and duplicate-task prevention. Approval requirements for sensitive actions and purchases. Detailed audit logs. Monitoring, error handling, and recovery procedures. Easy modification of household rules without extensive coding. Clear separation between private family communications and employee-accessible information. Project Deliverables I expect the selected developer to: Review the complete project requirements and recommend the architecture. Create a detailed technical implementation plan with milestones. Build and deploy a working initial version. Integrate SMS, AI, calendar, task management, and employee workflows. Build the administrative dashboard. Test the system using realistic household scenarios. Provide documentation, source code, and deployment instructions. Support ongoing improvements and additional integrations. Ideal Candidate You should have substantial experience with: OpenAI APIs, AI agents, and tool/function calling. Twilio SMS and messaging integrations. Google Calendar API. Workflow automation and scheduled background jobs. PostgreSQL/Supabase or similar databases. Full-stack application development. Secure third-party API integrations. Production deployment, monitoring, and maintenance. Experience building AI executive assistants, operations platforms, workflow automation systems, or multi-user SaaS applications would be particularly valuable. What I Am Looking For I value developers who think independently, identify problems before they arise, and recommend better solutions rather than simply following instructions. I want someone who understands the overall vision and can help turn it into a polished, dependable product. This project will be built in phases, but the underlying architecture should support substantial expansion. I am willing to invest in doing this correctly and am interested in a long-term relationship with the right developer. How to Apply Please include: Examples of AI automation systems or AI agents you have personally built and deployed. Your experience with Twilio, OpenAI, and Google Calendar integrations. Your recommended technical architecture for this project. How you would implement reliable two-way group SMS messaging. How you would handle persistent memory, recurring tasks, and proactive AI follow-ups. Your estimated timeline and budget for an initial working version. Whether you would personally perform the development or use a team. Please begin your proposal with the words "Family AI" so I know you have read the description. I am looking for quality, reliability, and long-term scalability—not simply the lowest bid.
