Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Sean, co-founder of Jentic. We've spent the last 18 months working on a problem that anyone building AI agents has hit: how do you let an agent call real APIs without leaking credentials or losing control? Here's the typical pattern today: you hardcode API keys into prompts, write bespoke wrapper functions for every service, and hope nothing gets logged, cached, or hallucinated back. It works for demos. It breaks in production.

I’ve been on a mission to use Home Assistant to optimize my home heating, with the dual goals of reducing gas usage and increasing comfort. It’s worked out very well - I’ve mostly eliminated wasteful overheating, and I now have much more consistent temperatures throughout the house. Thanks to the power of Home Assistant, I managed to do this without having to invest in new smart devices. In fact, I ended up selling my Google Nest thermostat! I thought I’d share some notes on the process.
