Autonomy · PHNTM One 1.0

A computer that looks after itself.

PHNTM One checks itself every 90 seconds, repairs with an undo, finds the cause before it treats the symptom, and tells you every week what it did, in every mode, with the internet unplugged. It improves only when you approve. And when you want it to act for you, Autonomous mode waits for your yes before it sends an email or changes your calendar.

Self-maintenance

Four habits, each one bounded.

Local self-care paths do not require a cloud model. Activity records show available evidence; the weekly report remains a planned 1.0 addition, not yet release-verified.

Every 90 seconds

It heals.

A supervisor checks services, the model server, memory, disk, temperature, the network, the screen, its own configuration files and the indexes it builds from your memories and conversations. When a check confirms a fault, one of fifteen repairs may run.

Each repair is limited: no more than three restarts of one service in half an hour, no more than two rollbacks a day on any one thing, and no automatic retry for six hours after a rollback. Beyond the fifteen it only does housekeeping, like trimming logs when the disk runs low.

7 of the 15

It repairs, with an undo.

The seven repairs that touch files or indexes run as a transaction: snapshot, stage, check, apply, check again live. The change is kept only if every check passes.

If not, it puts back exactly what was there, checks that too, and leaves a notice in your Journal on the screen. Your own words are never rewritten from an index; the index is rebuilt from them.

Cause, not symptom

It looks for the cause.

It can tell when a fault is the cause and when it is a consequence of something else, or say honestly that it cannot tell. A repair aimed at a symptom is withheld when the evidence says the cause is elsewhere.

When it can't answer a question about its own health, it can propose what evidence would settle it.

Learns on your unit

It keeps score, and rehearses.

Every incident and every repair outcome is recorded. Where it has a choice of fixes, it prefers what has worked on your unit. On quiet days, once it has proved its own safe window, it breaks something built to be broken and watches the real repair path handle it.

It only ever chooses among fixes it was already allowed to make, and every unit starts with a blank record.

The fifteen

Every repair it may make, and its limit.

The same table is in the manual on the device. Nothing outside this list is ever repaired on its own.

Getting better

It improves. You approve.

When a better way to do something is handed to it, the change goes through the same steps every time, and the last step is always yours.

1

Built in a sealed room

A small change is built and tested in a workspace on the device that can't reach the running assistant, your data or the network.

2

Judged, not assumed

The change has to beat what's running now on the same tests, judged by a fixed test that it can't adjust to suit itself.

3

You say yes

Owner-approved signed updates are a documented path. The proposed weekly summary remains planned 1.0 scope, not yet release-verified.

4

Watched, then kept

The update is applied under an independent observer and kept only if everything stays healthy. If not, it rolls back on its own.

The weekly report

Once a week, on the screen and on your phone: what went wrong, what it fixed and how each fix turned out, what it learned about your unit, and anything waiting for your OK. It's written from the device's own records, not by the language model, so it can't embellish.

The stop rules

One improvement at a time, with fixed budgets that never reset themselves. When there's nothing left worth trying, it stops and says so rather than trying something random.

Autonomous mode

Message it. It acts, after you say yes.

The third mode, next to Private and Boosted. It is Boosted plus actions you ask for from your own Telegram. It is off until you turn it on, it uses Claude on your own Anthropic key (so it costs you money), and turning it on from a phone needs your device password.

What you can ask it to do
  • Check how the device is doing
  • Set, list and cancel reminders, and show your open loops
  • Search and read your email, draft a message or a reply, and send it
  • List your Google Calendar, and add, change or delete events

Only your own paired Telegram account, in a private chat, is listened to. On the screen and the phone app it never sends email or changes your calendar; those actions come only from Telegram.

How it asks first
  1. Every email is shown to you in full before it's sent (recipients, subject, body), and every calendar change is spelled out before it happens.
  2. Nothing is sent or changed until you reply yes. Anything else drops it, and it expires after ten minutes.
  3. The approval is bound to exactly what you saw. If the draft or the event changed since, it refuses.
  4. A forwarded message can never approve anything.
What leaves the box

Not private, and it says so at setup. On a Telegram turn, what you ask, the recent messages in that chat, your and the assistant's names, your language and time zone, your recent email and calendar listings, and the results of the actions it runs (which can include full email bodies) go to Anthropic. Your messages and its replies travel through Telegram. The email and calendar actions you ask for, searching, reading and listing included, reach your email provider and Google Calendar; only sends and changes wait for your yes.

Every call to Anthropic, every email sent and every calendar request is written to the device's own egress ledger. Switch back to Private, and disconnect Telegram and email, and the wire goes quiet again.

The boundaries

What self-maintenance never does.

Touch your accounts.Self-maintenance never reads or acts on your email or calendar. If Telegram is connected, it may send you a notice about what it did.
Browse the internet.Healing, repair and keeping score all work with the router unplugged.
Change itself without you.Updates and improvements are yours to approve: you tap Install on a signed update, and it rolls back if the self-test fails.
Act on an AI model's decision.No model can start a repair or a restart. There is no tool for it.
Hide what it did.Fixes and budget stops show under SYSTEM → Activity; an undone repair leaves a notice in your Journal.
Ready when you are

An AI that keeps itself running.
