How it works

Tell it the move

One sentence, in English or Chinese: "I'm moving from New York to SF on October 1", "three of us, under $6,000, near USF", "cancel my gym and internet before the 30th". No forms to fill first — the profile fills itself in as you talk. Or ask from the Claude or ChatGPT you already use — add Put Roots as a connector.

It turns that into dated tasks on your map

One sentence becomes the 60 days around the move: D-30 cancel the lease, internet and gym, sell the furniture, forward the mail, book the SIM and the bank; D0 truck, keys, utilities on; D+30 home goods, groceries, gym, dentist, insurance, DMV — each task pinned to the place it happens, each with its due date on your calendar. Home is one task on that list, the biggest one.

For housing: the listings that match, sorted into three buckets so you know where to spend an application fee. Ready to apply — everything the landlord put in writing can be met with what you already have. Worth asking — it looks workable, but something isn't written down; we hand you the question to ask. Won't qualify — don't spend the fee here: there's a requirement they wrote down that you don't currently meet, and we show you which line it is, in their words, with the date we read it.

What gets compared is what you can actually produce: pay stubs if you have them, and 1099s, tax returns, bank statements, an offer letter, a co-signer or extra deposit if you don't. An SSN is one item on that list, not the whole list.

That last one is a reading of what the landlord published, not a verdict on you. Landlords make exceptions, policies change, and plenty of places never write their rules down at all — where they didn't write them, we say so rather than guessing, and most listings are in that group. The buckets only appear once you've told us your own qualifications; without that, everything is an unknown and three buckets would be theatre. For the bank card, the phone plan, the gym, the dentist: the branches and stores nearest your new address, plus the first-hand answer for each, with its source and the date we checked it. When an answer gets old, the card says how many days it has been since we last verified it rather than pretending it's current.

It does the task; you approve

Research, call, email, cancel, negotiate, book, order. The lease notice is drafted, three movers are asked for quotes, the internet is cancelled by call or by form, the IKEA cart is built to your floor plan and stops at checkout — and none of it goes out until you approve it. Emails are sent through your own Gmail, only after you connect it and only after you approve that message. Phone calls are placed by an AI that tells the other person it's an AI, and every call has a confirmation step before it dials. You can set the agent to drafts only and it will stop sending anything at all. Application forms work the same way: it fills the landlord's online application up to the submit button; payment, signature and submit are yours.

It keeps the record

Which task is done, which is waiting on you, who you contacted, what went out, who replied, where each place stands. It follows you to another device, and you can delete all of it yourself at any time.
