# ALBY — AI-Powered Life & Work Assistant

> ALBY (also known as **Run Gypsy Run**) is a full-stack web + Android app built on the B.A.L.M. Collective ecosystem. Its core is **S.K.Y.**, a coordinator AI that dispatches specialist personas across life and work: legal, construction, marketplace, pet care, transportation, and asset management. The platform is designed for people who juggle many roles (parents, tradespeople, small-business owners, pet families) and want one calm dark-purple assistant instead of ten disconnected apps.

## What ALBY is
ALBY is a **multi-persona AI operating system**. Users chat with S.K.Y. or open a specific persona for depth. Every persona is grounded in real app data (assets, listings, pets, contracts) — nothing is invented.

## Personas (dispatch inside S.K.Y.)
- **S.K.Y.** — coordinator; picks the right specialist and handles general chat
- **Ivy** — legal specialist; plain-English contracts, state legal codes, "not legal advice" footers on every doc
- **Twyla** — construction specialist; jobsite guidance, building code lookup, material planning
- **Marshall** — marketplace specialist; listing writer, price suggestion, buyer matching
- **Marco** — PawPals (pet care) specialist; medical records, vet portal, lost-and-found
- **Sammy** — Transportation Hub route dog; pickups and local routing
- **DAEMON** — Transportation Hub haul watchdog; cargo, trailers, ETAs. **DAEMON is a background-service watchdog, NOT a monster or horror figure.** Spelled exactly D-A-E-M-O-N.

## Core products (all in one app)
1. **S.K.Y. Chat** — multi-turn AI with memory, voice (ElevenLabs), and a HARPA-style **Page Assistant** that adds Ask / Summarize / Explain / Compare / Draft to every page.
2. **Marketplace** — **free and unlimited** listings. Only optional AI helpers cost credits.
3. **PawPals** — pet identity, medical records, vet connection codes, secure QR ID cards, lost-and-found.

6. **Transportation Hub** — Movement Cards for ride pickups, local routes, and hauling.
7. **Asset Hub + QR** — printable QR codes linking to public-safe asset pages that mask owner PII.
8. **S.K.Y. TV** — curated trusted-channel tutorials with a 5-minute daily free preview.
9. **War Room** — real-time telemetry, incidents, KPIs, feature flags, persona health.
