Family life,
not all on you

About Kessa

Kessa is a family assistant you talk to. You tell it what's coming up, by voice or text, and it puts it on the shared calendar, the to-do list or a routine. "Swimming every Tuesday at 5." "Renew the passport, remind me in two weeks." The reminder then goes to whichever parent is on duty.

If something on your own calendar runs into a family duty, say a client call during pickup, Kessa notices and can ask your partner to cover. Your work calendar stays private. Kessa only sees that the time is taken.

Kessa on iPhone Duo

On iPhone Duo, Kessa works closed and open. Closed, the full app runs on the outer screen. Open, it gets a sidebar and shows each parent's day in its own column. Half-folded on the kitchen counter, the conversation sits on the top half and the mic and text field on the bottom half, so you can talk to it without picking it up. Folding and unfolding keeps your place, down to a half-typed message.
