Axis

The pitch

Your household runs on patterns you don't consciously track. Coffee lasts about 19 days. Laundry detergent lasts 6 weeks in a two-adult house and 4 in a three-person one. Paper towels are seasonal. Each item has its own rhythm — and collectively they generate a constant, low-grade cognitive load that most of us pay by forgetting the thing we need.

Axis watches the rhythm. It parses your receipts, notices when you bought the last thing and how fast it's going, and builds a probabilistic model of when the next thing should land. Then it asks you — never just buys without consent.

How it works, concretely

• Ingestion. Forward receipts to your private Axis inbox, or grant read-only access to Gmail for supported providers (Amazon, Instacart, Hiya, and growing).
• Observation.Axis parses line items and stores them locally, tagged by product, quantity, unit cost, and date. Your data is not sent to third parties; the parsing runs in your account's isolated compute.
• Prediction. A per-household model estimates when each tracked item will deplete, with a confidence band. Low-confidence predictions are suppressed from the approval queue until Axis has enough evidence.
• Approval. When something is about to run out, Axis drafts a purchase — preferred vendor, cheapest size, your usual substitution rules — and surfaces it as an approval card. One tap confirms; one tap declines.
• Settlement. Confirmed purchases route through the Aethelforge gate: AP2-signed delegation, ACP handshake with the merchant, receipt archived for audit.

What Axis will not do

Axis will not buy things on its own without your consent. Axis will not pressure you to “subscribe and save” or bundle items for commission. Axis will not share your purchase history with advertisers. The whole product is built on the premise that trust with an agent requires a gate, and the gate has to hold.

If that sounds refreshingly boring — good. That's the point.
