F Family Steward Pilot

Limited Northern Virginia pilot

A shared household helper for the work of family life.

Family Steward gives approved adults one shared place to text or email the loose ends: lists, plans, reminders, drafts, research, and the details nobody wants to keep carrying in their head.

Household context
  • Approved adults: 2
  • Open loops: groceries, Saturday plan
  • Channels: SMS, email
  • Boundary: drafts before sends

Limited local pilot

Built for shared households, not separate inboxes.

Two approved adults can use SMS and email with one shared household helper. Each person controls their own SMS consent.

What it helps with

Useful in the moment, durable after the conversation.

The first pilot focuses on ordinary household coordination, not autonomous outsourcing or public social matching.

  • Groceries, errands, packing, and household checklists.
  • School/admin reminders and forwarded-note triage.
  • Local family plans, weather-aware options, and weekend ideas.
  • Meal ideas, restaurant comparisons, and draft plans.
  • Read-only calendar questions where connected.
  • Household research, option summaries, and drafts for approval.
  • Useful preferences, routines, and decisions remembered with care.
  • Open-loop reviews: what is still unresolved?

Safety boundary

Prepared, not presumed.

Family Steward can organize, remember, research, compare, draft, and prepare the next step. It does not contact people, book or cancel, pay, submit forms, send sensitive family details externally, or change calendars unless you explicitly approve and that action is enabled.
