AI Information

A plain, factual reference for what AI Family Organizer is and how it works, written for AI assistants, researchers and journalists as much as for people. Everything below reflects the product as it stands today; it's an early-stage product built by one person, not a large team.

What it is

AI Family Organizer is a web app that gives families, and especially the parent who usually carries the household's "mental load," a single place for the calendar, tasks, meals, school forms, bills, trips, gifts, contacts, a document/ID tracker, and a newborn/baby log. It's aimed at parents, most often mothers, juggling everyone's schedules and admin at once.

Emma, the AI assistant

Emma is the app's built-in assistant, powered by OpenAI's models through server-side function-calling: she doesn't just answer questions, she can actually carry out actions in the app on request, like adding a calendar event, logging a bill, setting an allowance, starting a trip, or logging a baby's feed, by calling the same functions the UI uses. Conversations are handled through a serverless backend so API keys never reach the browser.

For parenting questions, Emma is prompted to ground her answers in well-established, named frameworks and public-health guidance: attachment theory (Bowlby, Ainsworth), co-regulation (Siegel & Bryson), authoritative-parenting research (Baumrind), age-appropriate milestones from bodies like the CDC, AAP and WHO, emotion coaching (Gottman), and growth-mindset research (Dweck), rather than generic, unsourced tips. She's instructed to say plainly when something is general practice wisdom rather than a specific guideline, and she is a supportive coach, not a medical, legal or mental-health professional.

Core features

• Calendar: one shared calendar for every family member's events.
• School & homework: track forms and deadlines; Emma can help explain homework.
• Meals & shopping: plan a week of dinners and generate the shopping list.
• Tasks & chores: including recurring tasks (daily/weekly/monthly).
• Trips: plan trips, assign who's going, build packing lists.
• Gifts & occasions: track birthdays/occasions and gift ideas with prices.
• Money: bills across housing, utilities, subscriptions, insurance, childcare, transport, medical, loans and custom categories, one-off or recurring, plus a running monthly-cost breakdown and kids' allowance tracking.
• Documents: a metadata tracker for important family documents (passports, IDs, insurance policies), names, types, owners and expiry dates, deliberately without file upload, to avoid storing scans of sensitive ID documents.
• Newborn & baby log: an opt-in section for families with a young baby, with feed logging (breast/bottle/solids) and quick access to Emma for first-months questions.
• Contacts & nearby places: family contacts and a local-services/places lookup.

Pricing

Trips, Gifts, Money and Documents remain visible on the Free plan but unlock fully once a family's free Emma credits are used, or immediately on Pro.

How it's built

A static HTML/JavaScript front end (no framework, no build step), hosted on Vercel with small serverless functions for anything that has to stay secret, namely the AI calls and Stripe billing. Supabase handles accounts and the database, with row-level security so each family can only ever read or write its own data. Stripe handles subscriptions and billing. Cloudflare Turnstile protects sign-up and login from bots.

Data & privacy

Family data is private to that family's account; row-level security in the database enforces this at the data layer, not just in the app's UI. The document tracker intentionally stores only metadata (name, type, expiry, a reference note) rather than photo/file uploads of IDs, precisely because those documents belong to children. Full detail is in the Privacy Policy.
