A life management agency for everyday people.

Professional athletes and entertainers often have agents. Most people manage their own schedules, household needs, income, records, and decisions. Universe City is built to help with that work.

DEPARTMENT I
Agency Assessment
A person’s life on file. Who you are, what you can do, what you can prove, and what you are currently carrying.

the problem
Managing everyday life takes ongoing administrative work.

The information already exists.

The information is scattered across websites, offices, apps, family, workplaces, and your own records.

The work is organizing it, applying it, keeping it current, and connecting one part of life to another. Most people do that work themselves.

Universe City organizes that information into folders your agent can establish and maintain with you.

why this exists

Why I built
Universe City

I lost my mom suddenly in 2016. I was 20, heading into 21, and I lost my guiding light.

She was the person I could call, fall back on, move back in with, love and hug. She had known me from the beginning of time. Losing her meant realizing I would now be responsible for understanding myself as fully as she had.

I had to learn how to manage my time, money, goals, priorities and standards while creating a direction of my own. I knew I could not be the only person who felt overwhelmed by the ordinary work of adulthood.

Universe City grew from years of asking what makes life easier to manage, what people should understand before adulthood, and how those responsibilities can be organized into something usable.

your agent, working

See the four folders work together

Your agent can use confirmed information from more than one folder when one question touches more than one part of your life.

DEPARTMENT I
Agency Assessment
01 TIME
You established your work, commute, sleep, meals, and other recurring commitments. Your agent maintains a calendar from that record.
DEPARTMENT II
Housing Stability
01 INVENTORY
You established the quantities you normally keep and how long recurring household items usually last. Your agent maintains that household baseline.
DEPARTMENT III
Career Development
01 SALARY
You reviewed the last full month of income and regular expenses. Your agent maintains the current income-and-expenses view.
DEPARTMENT IV
Life Management
01 STANDARDS
You confirmed standards with an intention, value, and expected impact. Your agent can reference them when a related decision comes up.
YOUR UNIVERSE CITY AGENTTUE 6:42PM

You have $42 available until Friday. $18 is planned for gas. Your usual takeout order is about $32.
Your Inventory record shows chicken, rice, and frozen vegetables purchased Sunday.
You have 1 hour and 40 minutes open before your night routine. Cooking this meal usually takes about 35 minutes.
You set “cook at home at least 3 nights a week” as a standard in April. One night is recorded this week.
Want me to place 35 minutes for dinner on tonight’s calendar?
yeah do that
Added from 7:10 PM to 7:45 PM.
TAP TO SHOW ANOTHER MESSAGE

The agent used confirmed information from Salary, Inventory, Time, and Standards to answer one question.

how intake works

Each folder starts differently

Your agent collects the information each folder needs instead of running the same questionnaire four times.

01

Time reconstructs a real day

Your agent asks you to walk through a day you actually lived. The times you confirm become the first version of your calendar.

02

Inventory simulates a move-in

Imagine moving into a furnished apartment with no groceries or household supplies. For each item you name, your agent asks how many you normally buy and how long that amount usually lasts.

03

Salary reviews the last full month

Your agent records the income, bills, and regular expenses from a month that already happened. An amount can stay estimated until you confirm a better number.

04

Standards uses guided discovery

Your agent asks which routines and rules you return to when you want to function consistently. A standard is added only after you confirm the rule, its intention, the value behind it, and the impact you expect.

FOUR STARTING FOLDERS · FOUR INTAKE METHODS · ONE FILE
starting membership

Four folders
start together

Membership starts with Time, Inventory, Salary, and Standards.

The folders do not wait on one another. They can use confirmed information from the rest of the file as that information is established.

Your agent maintains all four and reviews the file with you each week.

membership

$12 starts with four active folders

Time. Inventory. Salary. Standards.

Your agent helps establish each folder, maintains changes with you, and works across the four when one decision touches more than one part of your life. Membership includes a fifteen-minute weekly review.

Begin applicationSee membership

What the four folders maintain

A calendar, a household baseline, an income-and-expenses view, and confirmed personal standards.

closer look · Time

Build a calendar from the life you already live

Your agent starts with a real day and adds recurring commitments as you confirm them. The calendar changes when your schedule changes.

Your agent asks one thing at a timeWork, commuting, meals, sleep, appointments, preparation, responsibilities, rest, and the time you want to protect.
You confirm times and changesTell your agent what happened or what changed. Unknown time stays unknown until you confirm it.
Your agent maintains the calendarThe schedule updates as commitments are added, moved, or removed.

Planned: export the calendar to the calendar service you already use.

Where do I have two open hours next week without moving a required commitment?
Ask
If I take this on, what has to move? How early do I actually need to start getting ready? Can my week support a class on Tuesdays? IN DEVELOPMENT

The schedule, the record, and the hours you control work today. Asking your record questions is being built.

how it develops

The calendar changes as more time is confirmed

A missed day stays empty until you complete it. The agent does not replace unknown time with an estimate unless you identify it as estimated.

DAY 1

One real day

Reconstruct yesterday. Not a typical week, an actual day you can remember.

WEEK 1

Repeatable timing

You establish repeatable durations for preparation, commuting, meals, rest, and other recurring parts of the day.

WEEK 2

A working week

The confirmed durations are used to build a working week around required and planned time.

ONGOING

Test commitments

A second job, a class, a person, a standing commitment. You check it against a record instead of guessing.

ONGOING

Other folders

Time can use confirmed information from Inventory, Salary, and Standards when the records relate to the same decision.

membership model In development

$12. One membership.

Membership starts with one Universe City agent working across Time, Inventory, Salary, and Standards.

AGENT

One agent across four folders

Your agent establishes the starting folders with you and maintains them as your schedule, household needs, income, expenses, and standards change.

15 MIN

A weekly file review

Once a week, you review the four folders together. The review confirms changes, decisions, and the work that needs attention next.
