AI Chat & The Architect Agent

The Architect Agent is MoLOS's built-in AI assistant—a powerful, context-aware agent that can interact with all your modules through natural language conversation. Instead of navigating through menus and forms, you can simply tell the Architect what you need, and it will handle the rest.

Overview​

Location: /ai (or navigate via AI → Dashboard)

The Architect Agent leverages the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to provide seamless integration with every MoLOS module. This means it can:

  • Create, update, and delete tasks
  • Log health entries and track metrics
  • Manage financial records and budgets
  • Plan meals and track nutrition
  • Create and organize markdown pages
  • Set and monitor goals
  • And much more—all through conversation

Architect: "Good morning! Here's your day at a glance:

📋 **Today's Tasks** (3 items)
1. Review quarterly report (High priority)
2. Call with marketing team at 2 PM

🎯 **Goals in Progress**

Complex Requests​

You: "Create a project for my home renovation and add tasks for painting the living room, fixing the kitchen faucet, and getting quotes for new flooring"

Architect: "I've set up your home renovation project:

📁 **Project: Home Renovation**

Tasks created:
1. ☐ Paint living room
2. ☐ Fix kitchen faucet  
3. ☐ Get quotes for new flooring

I've also created an area called "Home" to organize this and future home-related projects. Would you like me to add due dates or priorities to any of these tasks?"

Tips for Effective Use​

Be Natural​

Natural Language

The Architect understands natural, conversational language. You don't need to use specific commands or syntax.

✅ "Add a task to buy milk tomorrow" ✅ "Remind me to call mom this weekend" ✅ "Show me how much I spent on dining out last month"

❌ "/create-task --title='buy milk' --due='tomorrow'"

Provide Context​

When making requests, include relevant details:

You: "Create a task to prepare for my presentation"

Architect: "I'll create that task. Would you like to add:
• A due date?
• Any subtasks (slides, rehearse, handouts)?
• Priority level?

Or I can create a simple task and you can add details later."

Use Follow-up Questions​

The Architect remembers context within a conversation:

You: "Show me my high priority tasks"

Architect: [Shows list of 4 high priority tasks]

You: "Mark the first one as complete"

Architect: "Done! 'Review quarterly report' is now marked as complete. Would you like me to show you the remaining high priority tasks?"

Ask for Explanations​

You: "What MCP tools do you have access to?"

Architect: "I have access to tools across all MoLOS modules:

**Tasks Module** (15 tools)
- Create, update, delete tasks
- Manage projects and areas
- Track dependencies
- Add comments

**Health Module** (8 tools)
- Log health entries
