Introducing MerrickThe butler that asks first

The Butler That Asks Before It Spends

Text Merrick like a person. It watches your inbox, plans the trip, wrangles the foursome — and never moves a dollar on terms you haven't seen.

We Took The Opposite Direction

Not Autopilot

Today's personal agents are built to feel frictionless: the model decides, the runtime executes, and everything protective is a prompt asking it to be careful. When it books the table you never named — with the fee you never saw — the terms say the mistake is yours.

A Different Runtime

Merrick's model only proposes. A separate kernel fetches the real terms from the real service, shows them to you, and binds your yes to a fingerprint of exactly those terms. If anything moves before it commits, your approval is void and you're asked again.

Asks Before It Spends

Anything that costs money or can't be undone stops and texts you the real terms first. Silence means no.

Bound To The Real Terms

You approve the terms, not a summary. A $47.50 booking that turns into a $200 no-show fee voids itself.

Nothing It Reads Can Spend

An email, a web page, a search result: once Merrick has read outside content, that task can't reach money at all.

One Card. One Price. One Yes.

*Merrick mints a single-use card for the approved amount, at the approved merchant, only after you confirm. Overspend proven declined by the card network in the issuer's sandbox.

It Pays For Itself.

When the options are close, Merrick does the comparison you would have done if you had the time — then asks. Every euro it saves you is counted.

Questions

How do I talk to Merrick?

By text message, like a person. Telegram today, with SMS and WhatsApp following. There is no app to learn.

Can it buy things for me?

It finds the thing, fetches the real price and terms, and asks. When you approve, it can hand you a single-use card limited to exactly that amount and that merchant — and you check out. Merrick itself never submits a card to a store.

What can it do today?

Read your calendar and inbox (with your permission), watch for things that need you, search the web, look up trains and events, set reminders, draft emails for you to send, and coordinate with other people by text. It's in private beta and growing by request: ask for something it can't reach yet and that's what gets built next.

What does it do with my email?

Reads only what a request needs. When it checks whether you're free it asks for busy times and cannot see event titles. It doesn't sell anything about you. See the privacy policy.

Who's behind it?

Brelsford Software LLC, in Minnesota.
