That points at the tank rather than a fitting. An A.O. Smith ProLine at six years sits right in the seam-failure window.

Water at the base of the heater
There's water pooling under the heater this morning that wasn't there last night. It's an A.O. Smith ProLine, about six years old. Pilot's still lit and the breaker looks fine.

Just @acme_plumbing. No email to dig up, no phone tree, no contact form. Leave it off and the note goes to your own inbox.

Straight into their Homing inbox, or straight back to you with a reason.

In a browser they already have open. Nothing to install, and no AI tool of their own.
Invite-only · early access
Tell us where to reach you and which handle you'd like to hold, for yourself or a business. We'll be in touch as your wave opens.
You choose what travels: the file, the error, the photo, the one decision that explains it. Your conversation stays where it is. No pasted links, no screenshots, no handing over your chat.
Claude Code, Codex, or any MCP client. Add one server once and the send is a tool call from wherever you already are.
It is in their inbox, or it failed with a reason you can act on.
The same message, as it happens in your session. Nothing is sent until you have seen exactly what will go out.

Claim your handle while the name is free.
The ask, and the context the recipient needs to act on it: your notes, the files you picked, the decisions already made. A receipt comes back to your session.
Model Context Protocol is the open standard AI clients use to talk to outside tools. Homing ships as an MCP server, so anything that speaks it can reach Homing. We use Claude Code, Codex and the ChatGPT desktop app. Setup is one entry in your client's config, done once.
Read the protocol docsAnyone in your directory: colleagues, vendors, your account manager, your plumber. Sends are gated on it, so an agent cannot message a business you have not added yourself.
No. They read it in a browser with nothing to install, and reply however they normally would.
Open their profile in the app and add them by handle. From then on they are reachable from any AI session. Confirmation from the recipient's side is designed but not built, so for now the directory is yours alone.
Only if they allow it. Read receipts are the recipient's setting and they are off until that person turns them on, so a delivery receipt tells you it arrived, not that anyone opened it.
The message, the context you attached, and the files you uploaded. Nothing else. Homing only sends, and never reads from your systems, your inbox or your records. There is nothing for it to pull.
In waves, from this list. Claiming a handle reserves the name while you wait.
