AI Chat

The AI Chat is your natural language interface to OneHaus. Instead of navigating menus and filling forms, just tell OneHaus what you need.

OneHaus Premium — Chatting with the OneHaus AI assistant, including voice input, is part of OneHaus Premium. The Quick Views and suggestion chips below are available to everyone. See Plans & Subscription for what's included.

How It Works

Tap the chat icon to open a conversation with OneHaus. Type or use voice input to give commands or ask questions. The AI has access to all your household data, including tasks, calendar events, shopping lists, contacts, pets, vehicles, appliances, documents, and subscriptions. It understands your household context and responds accordingly.

Tap any chip to instantly see the relevant information.

Schedule View

When you tap a schedule-related quick view or suggestion chip, OneHaus opens a full-screen schedule view. This shows your tasks and events grouped by day, with month headers for easy scanning. You can also add new tasks or events directly from this view using the quick action buttons at the bottom.

Context Awareness

OneHaus knows your household context. It understands who your household members are, what tasks are assigned, what events are coming up, and what is in your inventory. This means you can ask follow-up questions naturally without repeating details.

For example, you can say "Add a vet appointment for Bella on Friday" and then follow up with "Make it recurring every 6 months" without restating the details.

Voice Input

Tap the microphone icon to speak instead of type. OneHaus uses speech-to-text to understand your commands. This is great for hands-free use while cooking, driving, or doing chores.

You can enable the auto-submit voice recording option in Settings & Preferences. When this is turned on, OneHaus automatically sends your message as soon as you stop speaking, so you do not need to tap a send button.

Tips

Be natural. You do not need special commands or keywords.
OneHaus remembers context within a conversation, so you can ask follow-ups.
If OneHaus is not sure what you mean, it will ask for clarification.
The more you use it, the better it understands your household's patterns.
You can request "help" any time in the app

Troubleshooting

AI not understanding: Try rephrasing your request. Be specific about what you want. For example, instead of "fix it," say "mark the laundry task as complete."
Voice not working: Check that you have granted OneHaus microphone permissions in your device settings.
Issues completing your request: Let us know in the feedback section of the app and we'll get on fixing it.

Use OneHaus from your own AI assistant

The chat inside OneHaus is not the only way to talk to your household. You can connect OneHaus to the AI assistant you already use and do everything above from there:
