Feeling Overwhelmed

When Jenny and Michael Chen reached out, evenings felt like a whirlwind. Homework, dinner prep, and endless notifications left them with almost no time to really hear what their two kids were feeling.

Designing AI Check-ins

Together we set up weekly AI-guided check-ins inside Mom&Dad Tracker. The app listened, summarized, and highlighted tension points that often went unnoticed—like how the rushed morning routine set the tone for the whole day.

The First Wins

Within two weeks the family started blocking 15 quiet minutes after dinner. The app surfaced conversation starters, tracked positive moments, and celebrated mini breakthroughs like Ethan sharing why math homework felt impossible on Mondays.

What Changed

By week four Jenny described their evenings as "calmer" and "grounded". Notifications became reminders to pause and listen. Mood insights showed the kids felt 40% more heard, and the parents felt less guilt about missing signals.
