## What is Peanuts?

Peanuts is an AI-powered personal assistant that helps you track, organize, and automate anything in your life. Instead of rigid apps that force you to adapt to them, Peanuts creates custom **Helpers** tailored to exactly what you need!

## The Shoebox

Not sure where something goes? Don't worry — Peanuts has a [**Shoebox**](/core-concepts/shoebox), a universal capture surface where anything that doesn't match a Helper ends up. You can organize it later, or let Peanuts suggest new Helpers based on patterns.
