For the things you buy again and again

The weekly shop,without theweekly debate.

Precedent learns the rules you already have: the coffee you like, the oat milk you will pay extra for, when it should ask. Then it handles the repeat buys.

How it works

It asks once.
Then it stops asking.

You do not fill in a preferences page. You answer the question in front of you, in your own words. Precedent keeps the answer and applies it the next time the same situation comes around.

  1. You answer a question

    It asks once.

    Oat milk is $11.40 and you have never picked a brand. It asks instead of guessing.

    One questionAsked once

    Oat milk is $11.40 this week. Which one?

    “The good one, when guests are coming.”

    Your answer, in your words.

  2. It writes down the rule

    Your words become a precedent.

    Not a settings toggle. Your words, the situation, and the narrow thing they apply to.

    Rule #3In force

  3. Next time

    It stops asking.

    Guests come again, so the good oat milk goes in the basket. You see the rule it followed.

Your list

  • Type it. Coffee, oat milk, filters, dish soap.
  • Paste it. One item per line, straight from your notes.
  • Upload it. A CSV or text file from your last order.

Why it remembers

You correct it once.
It remembers why.

The cheaper beans arrived and were too acidic. You did not edit a setting. You told it what happened. The old rule stays on the record; the new one takes over.

That is the difference between an app that forgets and one that learns the way a person does: by being wrong, and being told.

Your rule#7
“Pay the premium and stay with Roaster A. The cheaper beans were too acidic.”

Written after the order. Cited the next time the price jumps.

A cup, a notebook and scattered coffee beans on a wooden table.

Nothing deleted. The history is the reason it gets it right next time.

Your limits

It can only go
as far as you say.

Rules are preferences. Limits are not. They are checked before anything else, and no answer can learn around them.

01

A monthly ceiling

$150

When the month’s budget is gone, it stops and tells you.

02

Ask me above

$100

Anything bigger waits for your yes, even if a rule applies.

03

Hard no’s

No subscriptions

Blocked before it looks at what it remembers.

The record

See everything
it did.

Every order, every question, every block. Each line carries the rule it rested on, so you can check the reasoning instead of trusting a black box.

Questions

A few things
worth knowing.

A person unpacking lettuce and cucumbers from a brown paper bag in a kitchen.
Bring the list. Keep the rules.

Still curious? Open the demo and answer one question.

Do I have to set up rules first?

No. Add the things you buy. Precedent asks only where it does not know your rule yet.

What happens when it gets it wrong?

Tell it what happened. The old rule stays on the record; the new one takes over.

Can it spend without asking?

Only inside your limits. A monthly ceiling, an ask-above amount, and hard no’s are checked first.

Is this a real checkout?

No. This is a working demo with a seeded basket. No orders are placed. The mainnet record is the separate, append-only evidence behind it.
