Problem
Parents often receive a high volume of school-related emails, newsletters, and calendar updates that are scattered across their inboxes, making it difficult to identify actionable items and important dates. This leads to missed permission slips, forgotten events, and added stress in managing family logistics.
Solution
Fambot is an AI-driven assistant that connects to a family’s Gmail and Google Calendar to automatically read and interpret school communications. Each evening, it sends a concise text message summarizing the next day’s plan, highlighting required actions such as signing permission slips, RSVPing to events, and items to bring. The assistant also extracts key dates and details, offering one‑click calendar additions and a weekly outlook. Users can reply to the text to request more information or delegate tasks, all without manually sorting or forwarding emails.
